(not directed at op posting the screenshots) i think we need stop engaging w clear bait like this first of all but also very importantly it truly doesn't matter if resisting against jewish ethnoreligious supremacist/fascist setter-colonialism is "antisemitic" or not. this is not an argument anyone who truly is pro-palestinian and anti-imperialist should care for. 1) it centres jewish feelings and a term that is heavily weaponised against us to censor and genocide our people; 2) it disregards the fact that material conditions have changed and that jews have been a coddled group and heavily privileged group for almost a century to the detriment of *actually* marginalised groups that *they* oppress; and 3) it treats jews as unique or as an exception wrt to oppressors. should we care if we offend yanks when it comes to condemning their imperialism? crackers when it comes to white supremacy? jews are not these eternally oppressed special babies and even if every single one said antizionism offends them, their feelings would not matter. in fact, the vast majority of jews and jewish institutions are zionist, and even those who don't call themselves zionists (including many "allies") are self-centred libzios and espouse self-coddling bullshit like "zionism is antisemitism" or even credit themselves w first opposing zionism to not only erase accountability in the violence and oppression *they* benefit from, but to base their world view, once again, on things that are irrelevant to their current privilege & zionist status (and no, internal ideological differences in a community that died down when it mattered doesnt count as such. many germans opposed nazis even before ww2, do we credit them as much? it's clearly a self-soothing attempt to assuage the feelings of jews as the exceptional ever-coddled group that can do no wrong). it's an attempt at making everything about them, taking centre stage in allyship spaces to reinforce jewish supremacy and exceptionalism bc everything must be "me me me." we will not get anything done for palestine or wider anti-imperialism if this remains a fixation, if we care more about jewish feelings than palestinian lives. jews worry more if people will hypothetically despise them bc of israel than about israel killing us, yet do nothing to address the community actions leading to said consequences of being disliked. and no, white supremacists who don't like jews don't count as antizionists not bc of "antisemitism" but bc they too practice this exceptionalism and the same race science jewish supremacy espouses, that theyre a separate entity to whites. in reality, much like w jews saying it's all just white supremacy and calling you slurs like goy or amalek or a lowly palestinian dog if you mention jewish supremacy, it's imperialists doing these theatrics of pointing the blame at one class of oppressor while kissing in the back over our deaths. point is, start caring about palestinians and centring them for once and enough of these circle jerks about "antisemitism on the left." i. don't. care. people are dying and im sorry they're not jewish or white or yank or nato for you to worship them like this. stop entertaining cyclical arguments like this. palestine is inseparable from all anti-imperialist causes and we've always supported all anti-imperialist causes (for example if you are anti-iran, anti-donbass russian, anti-dprk, etc you are not an ally of my people either, fuck off liberal imperialist yank worshipping scum). these people just don't like being equally held accountable like any other oppressor bc much like any other oppressor, anything less than worship feels like an attack, even fantasising about criticism being equivalent to a pogrom, even though that's what palestinians in their own land, muslims across the west, etc are *actually* facing rn.
