Antisemitic Hate Crimes Soar in New York City

Melkath , 7 months ago

I wonder how many of these hate crimes were the result of tearing down the "missing" posters New York Jews are hanging everywhere while completely refusing to acknowledge dead Palestinian children.

It’s both. Actual antisemitism is probably on the rise, and supporters of Israel are conflating genuine criticism of Israel’s appalling response with antisemitism

Why downvote both of those are likely true or they would have couched or more specifically like anti semitic attacks.

The NYPD is downplaying Islamaphobic attacks.

Israel and US are downplaying genocide.

This is yet another worst part about Israel’s government being stupid bloodthirsty motherfuckers at the moment.

Sure, you get to feel better about beating on people who had nothing to do with the terrorists other than barely edging them into political power almost 20 years ago (after which Hamas did away with elections so the people who changed their minds afterwards couldn’t do shit to fix it).

Now, your kin outside your walls are suffering because people conflate them with you, and those people hate you for what appears to be your attempt at genocide.

Fucking… morons.

EDIT: Or, these people have always hated you, but hurting people of your religion/ethnic group/whatever is now seen as “okay” because of you.

Islamophobic War Crimes Soar in Palestine

…after jihadists go on killing spree and cut the heads off innocent civilians, throw grenades at children, dismember people while forcing their families to watch. All in the name of their supposed god,

What do innocent civilians have to do with that? Israel has admitted they’re trying to get everyone in Gaza to move into Sinai. Also known as ethnic cleansing. They want the land but not the people living there already

Referring to the murders by Hamas and other Palestinians on October 7. That has everything to do with the current conflict, right?

…after decades of getting bombed. All in the name of land that doesn’t belong to them.

Jews in the Middle East are indigenous people, too. So you’re saying it’s okay to massacre them?

umbrella , 7 months ago

no they are not lol

also newsflash, jews are not getting genocided

C0unterfactual , 7 months ago

I suggest you learn more

umbrella , 7 months ago

I suggest the same to you. The people getting armed to the teeth by the biggest military power to ever exist is not the one getting killed.

To your response, “no they are not lol”:

[Jews, Like Palestinians, Are ‘Indigenous’ to the Middle East

I don’t agree with IDF’s plan. But nobody’s acknowledging that Israeli jews are a constant target.

sure, can we compare numbers?

who has access to electricity and water?

C0unterfactual , 7 months ago

Okay, but do you acknowledge that Hamas has a great deal of responsibility for the lack of infrastructure for civilians in the Gaza Strip, of which they are the government? That Hamas spends literally billions of aid money toward building a vast system of tunnels from which they fire rockets at Israel, attempting to kill jews, because it’s in their mission statement?

Can you see that it’s a little more nuanced of than simply “Hamas good, Israel bad”?

umbrella , 7 months ago

You are the one saying hamas good, israel bad. I’m not condoning innocents from either side to die, it’s not a moral judgement. I’m just arguing for the way to stop it.

Terrorism is usually peoples last choice in dealing with things. I don’t think there would be an army of them if Gaza was actually free, but this genocide has been in the slow burner for decades.
