New policy: No more arguing with Christianists, especially the ones who think that missionizing is a good thing. Autoblock on sight.
EDIT: Addendum: Antisemitic atheists too.
Less a DNI, and more just an exasperated sigh at this point, yes, I vet new followers for my own safety and I will automatically block missionaries, Christian apologists, antisemitic atheists, antizionists, Nazis (WTAF are you following me in the first place?), and TERFs.
Antisemitism has always been more than hatred. It is also a remarkably effective tool for building political victories.
On top of his self-dealing, taxpayers are spending billions on his vanity projects.
Is the UN antisemitic for insisting that refugees should be allowed to right of return?
No, they are antisemitic for decades of ignoring attacks on Israeli civilians , being extremely biased and literally supporting terrorists . And i think you know that⊠do a google search or I donât know, listen to Jews.
Anyways, Here are a few reasons:
-calling out Israel more than any other country, while there are countries in their board that are actual dictatorships with apartheid & genocide .
Theyâre fixated on Israel.
-only holding Israel for agreements made while ignoring the fact that other parties have been violating the terms (aka harming Israeli civilians, amassing an army& weapons , moving past certain borders, etc).
*Aka whatâs happening with Hezbollah& Hamas over the last 20 years ,,,
-ignoring the events of October 7th for almost a year: kidnapping of civilians, mass murder and torture , women being raped as a weapon of war , etc.
The UN has a long history of being antisemitic and anti- Israel.
â
Instead of actually helping Palestinian refugees, the UN donated money and resources to literal terrorists. It perpetuates the narrative that they are refugees instead of actually resolving the issue.
Hell they let a terrorist organisation control the Gaza Strip for years. Said terrorists are higher ups in UNWRAâŠ
Some reading:
...
It is taken as fact by the overwhelming number of global Jewish organizations that the United Nations suffers from an antisemitic rot - Clic
Also for having a different definition of "refugee" for Palestinians. Like, by consistent definitions, either a tiny minority of Palestinians are still refugees and the rest are (second class) citizens of where they were born elsewhere across the MENA region... or the majority of Israelis are equally still refugees awaiting return of citizenship and homes. The problem is the double standard.
A very progressive group at my college just posted an infographic that states â Zionists believe that Jewish people are indigenous to Israelâ and I am losing my shit.
They said this in a post including that itâs okay to kill Zionists and they explicitly support all armed resistance
This is quite something. This is really quite the situation.
wtf this is actually insane. this is... i dont even know what to say or how to describe it. its just... I cant quite believe this is what American colleges are coming to...
As a high schooler applying for colleges next year, this isn't making me too excited to go to college at all.
"Zionists believe in historical fact" is a fascinating new reason to hate Zionists
âThis is why these conversations are impossible. You keep retreating into facts.â
They described it as âa safe space for difficult conversations.â What they really wanted was an Israeli who would sit quietly and confess.
I'm in awe that they think the BBC, of all media, is "justifying" it. The BBC is so institutionally antisemitic that they were repeatedly offered free resources--workshops, educational programs, etc--on how to be LESS antisemitic, and they turned the offers down every time.
"Disagreement is welcome in the way vegetarians are welcome at a barbecue: theoretically, warmly, and without any intention of accommodating them."

Hamas launched a brutal crackdown to prevent protests calling for an end to the terror groupâs rule across the Gaza Strip on Friday.
I know people mean well when they say 'Jews aren't a race, just a religious group!', but in that one sentence you've invalidated the experiences of both non-religious Jews and people who've experienced racially-based antisemitism.
Also it betrays a fundamental misapprehension of race. It treats race as some objective, real category rather than a construct designed to sort people into boxes for the purposes of exploiting them. The idea of race is that some people are biologically suited to oppression. Racial categories donât really correspond well to ancestry, ethnicity, and has no meaningful, well-defined category bc itâs fake. Race isnât some real, physiologic difference that people decided was worth oppressing over, it was a justification created ad hoc for the purposes of enabling exploitation and colonization. They used the different features as pretext, the features alone are not what race is. Race is determined by how the system of racial oppression sorts you and it sorts Jews as a race.
The other problem I have with people trying to box Jews into a "religion" category and ignoring ethnic peoplehood is that it then makes it easy to criticize Jews as simply having a belief system they could choose to abandon and then they wouldn't be Jews anymore. And for people who are anti-religion, who believe "religion causes all the world's problems," etc., categorizing Jews as only a religion means if you hate religion it's okay to hate Jews.
Yeah. They want to define not just Zionism, but Judaism itself as "just" a philosophy that one can, and in their view even should, abandon without losing anything else.
The thing about the proliferation of slop as a slang term / suffix is that "shlock" conveys effectively the same meaning that you're supposedly going for but without being a dogwhistle tied to a conspiracist belief about Jews forcing an inferior version of a product on gentiles while keeping the better version for themselves, as part of some convoluted plot to weaken The White Race, so if you're not trying to promote that antisemitic conspiracy theory there's really no reason not to just say shlock instead
... Although shlock is Yiddish in origin which means it's a near-guarantee that people would find some way to get weird about it if it got more popular. You know what, maybe just use the word "bad"
Seeing excerpts from that Current Affairs article about how Israelis use EDM to deaden themselves emotionally so they can live with themselves as genocidal murderers (if you hadnât encountered it before, yes really) made me realize that for a sizable (or at least loud) segment of the anti-Israel community is made up of people who believe that Israel is definitionally evil and therefore everything Israel has ever done is evil and done for evil purposes. I mean, how do you even begin to talk to these people?

Today on claims by Christianâs that piss me off
Just saw a reel where someone is claiming that the bible, in the original Hebrew, had no punctuation, vowels, or spaces between words and therefore it is even more up to interpretation than you think.
Like Iâm sorry what????
@no-sex-only-gender peer reviewing you rn
Exactly!!! Because yeah there are no vowels, but itâs in a language with a writing system that typically doesnât include the vowels. Like there are some words where the meaning is debated because of this but the way Hebrew functions and how the Tanakh has been passed down and taught through the generations means the lack of vowels really doesnât change the meaning all that much.
Also to say no punctuation is a misunderstanding at best. The Tanakh is split into aliyot (like chapters) and psukim (lines). Thatâs not nearly as much punctuation as weâre used to with English but it does exist even if itâs difficult to spot without training. Like the Torah is not literally just massive blocks of text. There are gaps between stories and aliyot and ways to spot where the psukim end.
i think it's insane that we live in a day and age where people consider it elitist to prefer candidates who are educated and experienced when it comes to public office
"i want a candidate who's flawed like me!" i don't. i want someone who's better than me to be able to declare war and decide the budget of the country????? i want someone with a master's degree in law or politics with 5+ years of experience on the city council and a legislative record. i want someone who can say, "i have done x y and z for my hometown and this is why i will be able to do it for the state."
and you know what? people say that it's classist, but the candidates who receive this defense are all rich! graham platner is a hobby farmer with a lawyer dad and a famous grandfather! donald trump's father was an ubersuccessful real estate developer (who let's not forget was found guilty of housing discrimination against black people).
I think, and I think this is what's actually classist, is that people see men like Trump and Platner as lower-class "coded" simply because they are classless. Donald Trump simply does not act like he was raised in high society, and that is because he just doesn't care about anything. He does not care if the wine pairs well with his dinner, or that well-done steak with ketchup is legitimately a crime, or that politicians should not curse in speeches, but he also does not care about saying please, or thank you, or whether a woman says no, or how many children die of illness or starvation when he cuts funding to SNAP, USAID, or FDA/HHS programs. It's not that he doesn't care about stupid rules or red tape, it's that he doesn't care about anything but himself.
like if a Jewish person is telling you youâre being antisemitic and your response is âI bet theyâre a Zionistâ then you are probably antisemitic sry
and if I donât like the Nazism of Israel, Iâm antisemitic? the murder of another race? did none of their grandparents explain about genecide?
@conniejoworld Thanks for instantly proving the point of this post lol.
Wow. Literally what the post was about. Israel was not mentioned anywhere here and yet when you saw a post criticizing racists who hate Jews you immediately popped up like âhow DARE you slander me like this?!â Well. I guess you were right. Clearly you are indeed an antisemitic bigot so I guess the post WAS about you.
A couple things are really racist (and also just plain wrong) about with what you just wrote.
1) Nazism is a specific ideology, not a catch-all phrase for âbad people I donât like.â And that specific ideology was founded on genocidal hatred of Jewish people. And ultimately led to the genocide of at leas 6 million Jews. There is no Nazi party in Israel. That wouldnât be possible. Ergo there no Nazism in Israel. Youâre just using a common antisemitic slur. To call Jews Nazis is extremely offensive and racist in addition to being ridiculous and inaccurate. The conflation of Jews or Israelis with Nazism was pioneered by the Soviet Union in the aftermath of WW2 as part of their violent propaganda campaign to incite hatred of Jews and carry out post-WW2 mass pogroms and repression of Jewish people. It is antisemitic and always has been.
2) Also. Your post implies all Israelis are Jewish. In fact only about 70% of Israelâs population is Jewish. Israel is the most diverse country in the Middle East and regardless of heritage, every single Israeli is a ârealâ Israel. Only fringe bigots on the Israeli extreme far right would say otherwise. Erasing the existence of the many non-Jewish people living in Israel, including Druze, Bedoins, Armenians, Arab Christians, Arab Muslims, Circassians, Arameans and many others. Itâs inaccurate like itâs wildly racist to say only a Christian of British decent is a ârealâ American it
3) Racist Jew haters and anti-Israeli xenophobes will often try to hide behind claims that they are being unfairly persecuted for âactivismâ or for âcriticism.â This is, of course, ridiculous. But itâs a common tactic for bigots. Just like when conservatives get called out for making a transphobic comment they will try to claim that âhumor isnât allowed anymoreâ when really thereâs nothing wrong with humor. There IS something wrong with dehumanizing trans people and promoting bigoted lies about them. Similarly, there is nothing wrong with criticizing the policies of the Israeli government or of any other government. However, what people like you do is not âcriticism.â It is not criticism of a government policy to respond to a post condemning antisemitism by making a bunch of inaccurate and racist statements. Youâre just a bigot.
You donât anything about Israel. Youâre not an activist. Youâre a racist who saw a post about bigotry being bad and became enraged. Youâre no different from a Conservative who loses their mind every time they see the phrase Black Lives Matter.
You donât always have to be like this. You can change. You can better yourself. You can stop being filled with ignorance and malice. Look at yourself. Look at who you are. Look at what youâve become - someone who spews hate because they saw a post on the internet condemning bigotry. You donât want to be like that. Stop looking for acceptable targets to hurt and instead look at how you can help. Get offline. Go outside. Embrace compassion, love, education and nuance. Try to build harmony and unity.
And educate yourself. Here are a few good videos to start with.
@conniejoworld I also suggest you educate yourself about the history of Nazism
Yehuda's Law in action
