There's nothing antisemitic in these texts. They seem perfectly reasonable. The city government and wealthy donors crushed free speech and then whined about being oppressed. That is absolute fucking chutzpah of the highest order these admins were rightly rolling their eyes at it.

People protested the Nova exhibit by saying it was "justification for a genocide" which is a similar line of thinking that reporting on Jewish people experiencing antisemitism is a "distraction." Multiple things are true at once. Plenty of people are being anti Semitic, lots of Jews feel unsafe and have been hate crimed, and Palestinians are suffering.  No one would treat any other marginalized group like that, dismissing their concerns 
View on Reddit #30176756

deepskydiver@reddit

This situation though has been one of clarity. Multiple interviews and filming of peaceful protests made up of people wanting peace, including Jews. Well publicized. That Jews feel unsafe when Jewish people are welcomed in the protesters is nonsensical. There may well be paranoia and people who misread the situation. But that doesn't change the facts. Again, there are people dying in Palestine and that isn't enough to change behaviour. Yet some want protesting against that violence to stop because someone's feelings are hurt? It's clearly deliberate misdirection. And an obscene confusion of priorities.

No it's doesn't demonstrate that. It shows you can be openly Jewish if you agree politically. I am a jew. I do not agree with Netenyahu and what his government is doing to Gaza. I do not think Israel should stop being a country. I don't feel safe at pro Palestine rallies due to, among other things, the continuous use of "from the river to the sea". I have seen people state that "Zionists control the media", I have seen national news outlets using Hamas statistics with no critical thinking. I'm glad that some Jews and their support are welcomed at cease fire rallies. I don't think their presence eliminates the presence of antisemitism at rallies.
View on Reddit #30181526

deepskydiver@reddit

So you would ban protests if anyone has an opposing view - because they may feel unsafe? Incidentally from the river to the sea literally calls for freedom. Not genocide. Not stealing land. It literally states they want to be free in their homeland. And many like you distort even a simple call for freedom as threatening. It doesn't matter how it may have been used by anyone. It is very simple, your subtext is not implicit. And before you go too far, consider this. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/original-party-platform-of-the-likud-party The Likud Party of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in its original party platform in 1977 that "between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty." The charter says "between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty" This IS explicitly seeking to steal another people's land. How do you think the Palestinians feel?
View on Reddit #30183771

Suitable-Effort-3934@reddit

Most people aren't calling for a ban on protests. It isn't just that "Jews feel unsafe" like they're some whiny bitches or something. It is that an oppressed minority with a demonstrated history of being genocided (perhaps you recall) is saying they feel as if their safety and possibly their lives are at risk.  Rhetoric that is harmful to them is being widely shared.  For the record, Hamas doesn't want a 2 state solution. They want From the river to the sea. They want all of Israel. the Jews expelled from the land. Or as servants. Yes, this is documented.  2million Arabs live in Israel.  Palestinians used to go there to work.  Why do you think there are militarized borders? Why is killing all the Jews in the Hamas charter? Why did Hamas create a TV show called Tomorrows Pioneers in which cute characters talk to children about growing up to kill and stab Jews? If you know the history of the Intifadas then you could clearly see why Jews might feel threatened by thousands of people calling for a  "global intifada."  This is merely the subtle stuff where people think a slogan means one thing but it really doesn't. To say nothing of the explicit violence and hatred. You have to be a "good antizionist jew" in many of these protests. Star of David anywhere on your body? Liable to get harassed.  So, the majority isn't calling for the end of protests at all, let alone because weak little jews feel unsafe. Antisemitism is real and it is dangerous and it is not just perpetrated by white supremacists

Hamas isn't Palestine. Look I believe you are genuine and that there is much we could agree upon. I want to say that I don't want you or anyone to feel fear or distress. Let's also agree that there is genuine racism that every minority faces and that is appalling. Jews are no different sadly but also not above any other. I do also believe that Israel is engaged in both a humanitarian and publicity disaster in its brutal dealing with Palestine over decades. This cycle of killing and then killing more when they resist. Palestinians that you and I would never want to suffer physically - do. And Jews defending Israel incur the wrath of an increasingly hostile world. Withdraw, stop preemptive attacks then release the grip that Israel - like America - has on other countries.Try the moral high ground instead of propagandized cruelty and disregarding of the rest of the world's views.

Most reasonable people have not said protesting should "stop." You're willfully ignoring or deliberately choosing to not listen to the Jews who have indeed been victims of antisemitism, violence, hate crimes. Countless queer Jews sat Pride our because of deeply hurtful things the community they trusted have said. You haven't been to every single protest and apparently haven't seen footage of the many that do in fact demonize Jews.  There are large swaths of protestors who are only inclusive of or nice to Jews they approve of. Like it or not, Oct 7 and memories of The Holocaust to name but 2 instances of violence against Jews are deeply painful.  That has nothing to do with Palestinian suffering. It does not detract from what is happening to them.  If someone is incapable of recognizing more than 1 group of peoples oppression then, sorry, theyre just not very smart and I dont really think their opinions hold water. If you have to ignore or diminish a group of peoples actual pain for your cause then you're not intersectional.... And how is that going to lead to peace here or abroad? This isn't the Suffering Olympics.

I recognize and empathize with those who suffer. It's one of my main motivations - genuinely. Currently the main aim is to help the non combatants in Palestine. And the theatre around that - by both sides in protests and debates - pales by comparison. Were the holocaust happening now I'd be doing the same, not campaigning for Germans upset by protests against it.

This is an oversimplification, and my advice would be to listen to the many Jewish people who have experienced an increase in the normalization of anti-Semitism. You don't get to tell people what they should or should not care about--there are many ongoing atrocities across the world right now that dwarf what is happening in Gaza. Does that mean I can tell you that it's ridiculous for you to care about Gaza? The rising anti-Semitism is **real** and it is affecting Jews across the world right now. Jews are .2% of the global population. Handwaving it away as "theatre" around the conflict, and comparing it to Germans being upset about people protesting the Holocaust is dismissive and just straight up absolutely gross.

Do you think Jews are just white people indigenous to Poland and Brooklyn? Do you think only white people live in Israel? This isn't happenibg because all of Israel wants to oppress the brown people (as if Jews aren't brown anyway) I'd argue it is racism of low expectations the belief that Palestinians are incapable of doing anything but launching rockets at Israel.

You are absolutely oblivious to the history of the region and this conflict and willfully ignorant. Release the hostages. Hamas step down. Hezbollah stop launching rockets. Iranian Islamist Regime stop existing and killing and torturing and raping your people and aiding and funding Hamas.  Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, which worked directly with the Nazis in its mission to eradicate Jews. But tell me again how anti semitism is irrelevant. Hamas wants Jews dead more than it wants prosperity for its people. it is patently false and delusional to say that "nobody wants anyone who is peace loving to feel intimidated."  Maybe Hamas should have not done October 7. Unless.... they don't give a shit how many Palestinians are killed for their suicidal nationalism because they all are martyrs. Brilliant scheme really. Convince yourself your people are worth more dead than alive. Many Palestinians are sick of Hamas, as well. But when they protest them they're beaten and tortured.  Ah well Blame the Jews!

However, there's only one question thats relevant here. Did these people really send the texts or are they fake?

See the Holocaust was just cover to give the Eastern European imperial powerhouses a reason to ship Jews to Palestine so they could gather resources and raw materials to send back to the motherland for processing. This whole Israel-Palestine thing will blow over once the colonists are shipped back to Eastern Europe.

Because criticizing a religion is different than criticizing an ethnicity....? Religions are chosen ideologies. You are born with your ethnicity.

Why would you criticize someone for their religion? That's not linked to how you behave as a person or how moral you are. Let me set things straight. If tomorrow Trump and Biden said Judaism is evil and should disappear but secular Jews are fine and dandy, would you be ok with this?
View on Reddit #30185656

lennoco@reddit

There are aspects of various religions that I find distasteful and at odds with my own morals. Certain aspects of religion are even dangerous. Criticizing them is fair game. After all, they're belief systems from thousands of years ago written by men who wanted to exert some sort of control over their societies, whether that be moral or political or both. Just because some people think those belief systems are perfect systems passed down by God doesn't mean I need to agree with them and not criticize those belief systems or actively work to stop them if they start oppressing the rights of others. Would you not criticize Scientology because it's a religion? Would you not criticize a religious group attempting to strip women from having equal rights? A religious person should be free to believe whatever they like, but the minute that belief system starts trampling on the rights of others is where I draw a line. Any ideology you adhere to should be able to be questioned, whether that be religious or political or about whether the Star Wars sequels are bad or not. If Trump and Biden came out and said Judaism was evil, that would obviously violate the US constitution, which I support, so yes, I would not be okay with that. However, if Jews in my neighborhood started trampling on the rights of the non-Jews in my neighborhood, I would also not be okay with that. You seem eager to get into these really oversimplistic arguments.
View on Reddit #30185947

Really, against the constitution? If you're American you know it's fair game to say whatever you want about a religion. See, you're playing both sides of the argument for your convenience. You first said that Islam is a religion and thus it's fair to criticize because it's a choice unlike ethnicity, and thus more akin to an ideology (it's not near the same really but anyway I won't discuss that). Ok, that means that you can say Islam is evil, Christianity is evil, and of course that Judaism is evil. Those are ideas, you can attack any idea in the US. You can even chant that you are freedom and democracy. But somehow you now are against politicians denouncing Judaism. Smells like rights for me, but not for thee

It also doesn’t change that there have been a rash of antisemitic incidents as of late, and that college students (as well as progressives as a whole) are willing to accept antisemites and pro-Hamas agitators. Considering what they have said, I find it hard to believe that they donated to the “Israel organization” (are you referring to Hillel or another group? I don’t know what the Israel organization is and a google search turned up nothing). I would appreciate if you could link where you heard/read that The way I see it, even if they did donate, what one does publicly and what one believes are different things.

Privilege is place by place, context by context. In your fishpond you likely - don't know your situation so can't be certain - have some form of privilege compared to the outgroups there. On an international stage, you certainly *don't*, as your interests are bulldozed over by the interests of people in wealthier and more powerful nations. If you moved to the USA? Honestly depends on skin colour and how well you can 'pass' as one of them. In practice, privilege is like... can you walk down the street without having to be *reasonably worried* about being attacked because of who you are or what you believe? Do you have to fear interactions with law enforcement or the government? Is there some part of your identity that you are constantly reminded of because people treat you differently because of it? If you answered 'no' to all of those, congrats you have the 'privilege' of not being in an outgroup. And a all those things contribute *constant* stress just from existing, and chronic long-term stress *measurably causes damage to your cells/organs faster*, leading to a lower lifespan. Less stress literally equals longer life.
View on Reddit #30177964

Traditional_Crab55@reddit

Its a fact that stress has a physical impact on your body, but if that's the argument you're going for I'd rally harder against poverty more than anything else. Heres my problem with your logic though (nad disclaimer: I'm really trying to understand, not being sarcastic or anything. I apologise if it comes across that way) Lets say you have two groups, A and B that are in a conflict. Both groups are equally responsible for starting the conflict, and both have a roughly equal desire to eliminate members of the other group. Group A is richer than B, so they can afford tanks and missiles while group B has to make do with pipe bombs and stones. So for every 10 A deaths we have 100 B deaths. *However, there is only a difference in the means available, not the intent* Based on this information and the logic of privilege we decide to support B, until they have even better missiles and tanks. Now A is the underdog, and for every 100 B deaths we get 1000 A deaths. Now what? Am I supposed to support A because they're less privileged? Isn't that just a seesaw of violence?

Oh yeah, poverty is 100% a crime against humanity, and the fact that it isn't held up as a condemnation of capitalism for the sheer number of lives cut short is a fucking travesty. Okay I get what you're trying to say here, and yeah I thought the same until I started looking into the history of Israel V Palestine. I support Palestine *not* because of 'privilege' but because the historical facts are that the people who became the Israelis threw the first stones. Some important points that are honestly pretty obscure if you're not looking through historical documents: 1) There was a difference between 'Jewish people who were living in peace in the Levant at the turn of the century' and 'the band of *actual ethnofascists* who came across from Europe to explicitly colonise and expel the Palestinians. Yes, they were fascists, you can read their own beliefs in their own writing on Israel's online archives. They popped up in the same 'wave' of international fascist thought that produced Mussolini and the Nazis. They believed (and still believe) in this 'warrior democracy' deal where the right to vote only comes from being a soldier for a 'new Kingdom Of David'. Like, the 'rebirth' of Hebrew as a modern language (and the *cultural genocide of existing Jewish dialects*) was them fucking *larping* as Bronze Agers. 2) The conflict was in fact started by 'militia groups' of said fascists doing terrorism and then *deliberately hiding among the uninvolved Jewish people who were already in the Levant to turn the Palestinians against them*. These people viewed the Mizrahi and Sephardi Jews (the Jewish ethnic groups who lived in North Africa and the Middle East) as *explicitly lesser than themselves*, and deliberately pulled them into the line of fire of a fight *they* started. 3) There was a thing called the King-Crane Report on the situation in the Levant during the British rule, have a read, it predicted the current course of events 100%. It outright stated that the only route to peace was a multicultural Levantine state. The British ignored this and awarded all the *good* land to make 'Israel', as governed by those, again, *fascists*. 4) The subsequent expulsion of Jews from surrounding countries wasn't so much antisemitism as it was realpolitik; just a few years earlier the Nazis did a 'we're protecting Germans living in X' thing to various countries. The Arabic nations saw that and decided to not take chances. Still *wrong*, but they didn't do it because 'hate Jews' as some would have you think. The narrative that the Arabic nations attacked Israel 'unprovoked' leaves *out* the stuff the Israelis were yelling about 'reclaiming the Kingdom of David', an area that encompassed a *lot* of the Middle East (and is entirely mythical); not so much 'unprovoked' as 'they're saying they're coming for us, take them at their word'. 5) There are *two kinds of antisemitism*. There is 'European antisemitism', which was birthed by the Roman Empire when they adopted Christianity and explained 'uh why did Romans murder our god' with 'oh *they* made us do it'. European antisemitism is *all* baseless conspiracy theory brainworms. Pretty much *every* conspiracy theory in Western society can be traced to this antisemitism. Now *Islamic* antisemitism is a different beast entirely, born from 'my people fight your people fight my people' and is frankly no different from all the other tribal differences in the world. Prior to the 20th century, this was indistinguishable from 'Germans hate French hate English etc etc'. In the 21st century with the internet they've merged *somewhat*, but still have very different roots. 6) You don't hear about half the shit Israel does. Like, this is a fact, not an opinion. Everyone was screaming about October 7th breaking a 'years-long truce' when just the year before Israeli forces slaughtered hundreds of peaceful protesters from Gaza marching to demand the same Right of Return to their homeland as Jewish people are given. A foreign protestor once tried to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family's house as retribution for something that family didn't have anything to do with. She was crushed by the bulldozer, no one was punished and *to this day* Israelis make memes mocking her. The guy who founded Hamas, the rabid dogs that rule Gaza with an iron fist? The reason he hated Israel is because Israeli soldiers literally tortured his son to death in front of him.

I want Palestine to not be oppressed and imposed upon by Israel. The British fucked up big time in 1948. The world needs to step in and do something. It’s getting hard to keep supporting killings of non combatants on both sides. Yeah, Israel “hit them first” but idk how so many people try to act like Hamas are just fighting a war and not also killing Innocents. So is Israel. They both are. It’s so fucked. I support Palestinian freedom, but honestly I don’t support the way Hamas conducts themselves. I don’t really have to to know what’s happening is wrong. I just want it to end. But I refuse to cheer on either side, innocents are dying on both sides to intentional terror attacks, apart from collateral. It’s not just a war between combatants.

There is a really tough question here about innocence and civilian status that gets swept under the rug. Israel practices universal conscription (with exceptions for the religious ultra-orthodox nutters who support genocide anyway) and those who refuse often spend years in jail if they don't fit into the limited 'allowed' reasons to refuse. It's been the policy of the Israeli military to cycle those conscripts through Gaza and the West Bank to blood them against the Palestinians; to put blood on their hands and make them complicit, which is an extension of standard military doctrine worldwide (break them down build them up how you want them). So, when that conscript who took part in the murder of actual innocents finishes the tour and puts down the gun... are they a civilian? Are they an innocent? Is retaliation against them *for the things they did in fact do* morally wrong? To be clear, this consists of at least 50% of Israeli adults under the age of 30 (smaller proportion as you go back to older generations, it used to not include women). Let me be clear; I have no answers here. This is a question that is so *monumentally fucked up* you could spend a lifetime trying to figure it out. I just know that it's a question that the media very much ignores in trying to portray dead Israelis as being 'just the same' as any person in another country, when in reality most are military veterans, many of whom have blood on their hands by action or by inaction.

According to (obviously sus) sources, about 40,000 Israeli’a serve in combat positions, and less than that participate in combat. Which I think is a good point to your point considering there are almost 10 million people in Israel Also another counter point is many of the civilians attacked by Hamas are kids and women or non soldiers. This is a good point though, and it illustrates how complicated this situation really is. Which is why it can be so annoying reading or participating in discourse around it because everyone wants to pretend they have the whole of the situatjon figured out and have all the facts. Very very few people do and they are most likely scholars or very close to the situation politically. I, unlike many in online spaces, don’t presume to know the best course of action, all I know is that Israel needs to be controlled so as to stop what’s happening to Palestine, but also those Israeli citizens aside from the 40,000 at most fighting in Palestine need to be protected. My priority would be to do whatever stops the deaths of non combatants. It’s understandable why it has devolved into what it has, and it’s all well and good to have that understanding that Hamas is fighting an oppressor, while also realizing they have lost the plot and are killing women and children, as well as committing rape. And I don’t want to hear anything about it being propoganda because I saw the graphic videos So the innocent civilians from both Palestine and Israel need saving from their own respective powers that be. Once again no surprise it’s the ones in pier fucking everything up with a complete lack of compassion or tact

I would agree with most of these points, only dissenting in 1) that the events of Oct 7th are still in doubt because a) Israel refuses to let the UN investigate and confirm claims and b) a *lot* of sensationalist claims, especially the murder of children, just kinda vanished? As in, not even Israeli news could produce anything to back them up, and when I tried to look into them, a lot those claims were made by 'responders' which is the term for IDF soldiers. And a lot of the folks who *stick around* beyond conscription are the... well *ideologically committed* or batshit crazy murderjunkies; the IDF has literally been doing nothing for decades but brutalise Palestinian civilians and fire artillery. It takes a certain kind of sicko to *enjoy* that. I fully believe that children died, because *war is war and children always die*, but the most sensationalist claims don't seem to have anything behind them, even by Israeli media standards. 2) That is approx 40,000 *regulars*, aka the career folks. I went looking for sources and found one academic study from 1995 that stated at the time the IDF comprised 135,000 conscripts. More current numbers suggest 170,000 currently under arms and a further half a million reservists, aka people who after their conscription chose to be in the reserve.
View on Reddit #30187538

JewGuru@reddit

40,000 in combat positions. Those who would fire a rifle at Hamas or potentially commit a war crime. 40,000 out of those 135,000 (or 170,000) would be in a combat position. That was what I was trying to say. I don’t really think someone being forced into an army justifies their murder when they aren’t even in a combat position. Also, on the day of October 7th, there were many videos posted and soon taken down that I don’t think everyone got to see. There are still many you can go watch. I will concede I didn’t see any of the videos from claims about baby’s, young children, BUT I did see many videos of women and young teen looking age women being shot, running for their lives and ducking behind cover, etc. I also have a really hard time believing no rape occurred, and this doesn’t reflect my view of Palestinians, but my view of Hamas at this point In time. I do think perhaps the “babies and kids” thing was propoganda. So I’ll concede there. But I saw a lot of brutality against those who had done nothing to them directly. I opposed the war in Iraq but im American so if an Iraqi militiamen killed me would it be justified? That’s kinda how I feel about it. Even if I was conscripted to a non combat position. So I didn’t get my impression from listening to biased IDF frontline soldiers I just saw the videos that day. It wasn’t an attack on those who attacked them but an attack on their loved ones as well, which I just can’t get behind. I can understand why someone in their position might feel the desire to do that, so I won’t get all emotional about it, but I can’t logically support that. There are just as many videos online of IDF beating Palestinians or whatever else so I’m not trying to just focus on one side either. The reality is Palestine can’t handle this kind of oppression without becoming self destructive and unethical in the process. This may not necessarily be their fault, as the world is standing by and letting them fight alone, but the fact is they have devolved morally and are now murdering non combatants and even their own civilians in rare cases, as well as keeping food and aid from them to go toward the war effort (which again I guess I understand a militia prioritizing their war effort but I can’t support making people starve or not get infrastructure) I’m enjoying this conversation btw, it’s nice to not have ad hominem attacks thrown at you immediately or a speculation on your background/supposed agenda

Part of my issue with accepting Israeli claims about Oct 7th is that a lot of videos are unsourced. There was in fact stuff being circulated in the days after that *were* faked, or at least were presented *as* fakes, and this is the core of my desire for the UN to investigate so actual facts can be discerned. I also appreciate a conversation with someone who isn't an absolute nutter going 'anything is justified' whichever side they're on.
View on Reddit #30189230

JewGuru@reddit

I agree that it needs serious scrutiny and investigation. I saw some brutal stuff when all the original videos came out on the random combat footage subs and whoever was doing it was doing it for real, and I saw it. So I can’t say that it was actually who they say it was, and that does need to be investigated. I do remember there being fake ones after the fact as well, which only makes things more complicated. Also why I was referring to the day of October 7th because if you were in the right places on the internet you saw it as it was happening. Supposed Hamas sources would release it like throughout the day of the 7th. Most of it was chaos and blurry but I did see dead women, teen women running and hiding, and dead civilian men. So yeah it is just all around messed up. I wish that the world superpowers would actually step in and control this situation. This is what happens when the oppressed are left to their own defense for so long, they devolve into self detriment. Which sucks cause you have one side completely ignoring everything bad their chosen side does and will justify it even, and the other side only focusing on the bad things they have done without any context

What's to end goal though? It's impossible to roll back to borders to pre-20th century status on the basis of crimes that were committed almost a century ago. Regarding your points. 2. Is pretty much what Hamas is doing today. It was wrong then, and it's wrong now. 4. Again, ethnic cleansing based on 'realpolitik' is something that according to you both sides seem to be guilty of. You can't really justify one without the other. 5. All forms of religious and race discrimination is conspiracy theory brainworms. It's not justifiable to attack Jews living in the US or Europe based on what other Jews are doing in the middle East. 6. You're right, I don't hear half the shit Israel does. But that doesn't absolve Hamas of any of the gang rapes or massacres. Israel is not innocent and they have a lot of blood on their hands and a lot of crimes to answer for. But if their explicit goal was to wipe out all Palestinians, this conflict would've been over a long time ago. They don't care how many Palestinian children they have to bomb in order to maybe kill a single Hamas soldier. But Hamas' *goal* is to kill Israeli civilians for its own sake. That's how I'd differentiate Israel and certain Arab groups who openly want to kill Jews for the sake of killing Jews
View on Reddit #30179783

Shane_357@reddit

Okay first, these were not crimes committed a century ago. The two Nabka genocide attempts happened to people who are still in living memory. When it comes to end goals, there are three possible outcomes. First, Israel wins and genocides the Palestinians. The need for an external enemy to keep their political machine running will bring them against other nations. Second, some nation or group of nations sets down a taskforce in the middle of the situation with the injunction 'kill whoever crosses these borders'. This would lead to festering hate that would just keep on going. Third, the second, but it's 'you are one nation now, everyone has one vote, *get along or else*'. The third is the most difficult short-term, but is the only real solution long-term; large groups of Israelis *and* Palestinians only hate because their lives are in danger, their rights are trampled, etc etc. Force those issues to go away and the 'war war war' groups lose a lot of their support and eventually die off. It ain't *pretty*, but it's been shown to work in somewhat-similar situations. 2. Not precisely. Hamas is different solely in that there is nowhere to go; Gaza is a closed prison-state and there is *literally nowhere that isn't full of civilians*. It's the difference between actively choosing a bad thing, and the bad thing being the only option, if that makes sense. 4. I'm not justifying shit, I'm explaining. It was an evil act, however the Zionists use it to propagandise that all Arabs intrinsically hate them, peace can never exist, blah blah blah eternal bloodshed for the motherland. 5. I mean, if you define brainworms as 'basic human tribalist instincts', sure. We do this thing of separating ourselves out 6. No. There's two things here; one, gangrapes are, while widely shouted about, not yet shown to actually happen, and Israel refuses to let the UN in to confirm those claims. Also Israel has a long history of doing the same; there's a documentary on the Nabka genocide attempt, and it featured actual IDF veterans from the period *laughing* about the shit they did, like raping teenage girls and killing fleeing civilians with flamethrowers. Those laughs will haunt me to the day I fucking die. But I'm not gonna say 'Hamas doesn't do that', *every* army does that. It's just part of what armies *do*. Israel is not seeking to kill Hamas soldiers. In fact, they are actively choosing actions that *don't* kill Hamas soldiers and instead kill civilians and destroy infrastructure, because the current Israeli government *needs* an eternal threat to justify it's rule. They are driving people to join Hamas for revenge *deliberately*. Second, the international media likes to talk about Israeli civilians being killed, but never mentions that over 75% of 'civilians' in Israel are former IDF conscripts, due to Israel's draft. And it's Israeli military policy to cycle new conscripts through Gaza and the West Bank to blood them against Palestinians. Are those people civilians when they finish their tour? Is retaliation against them for the things they did as soldiers right or wrong? I certainly don't know.

By 'militia groups of fascists' I'm assuming you're talking about groups like the Haganah that existed from 1920-48, so yes, it was almost a century ago. More than that actually. Also, when you're using laser guided munitions against a people who need to use their own water pipes to make rockets, I'd say you've already won. It's been that way for a couple of decades now. If total genocide was the intention it should've happened ages ago Can you name a time when two groups of people who had long standing blood feuds were forced to work together and that actually got rid of their hate against each other? Usually they just stay together as long as the 'or else' enforcers are there. They second they leave it's business as usual. 1. If they were being forced to use human shields instead of intentionally using them, you'd see them at least *attempt* to build military infrastructure away from civilians. Instead you get Hamas rockets fired from school courtyards and bases under hospitals. It's not logical to say they're being forced to do that, since Gaza isn't covered end-to-end with un schools and civilian hospitals. 2. I don't think it's propaganda to claim that people from x group hate you for being from group y when you'd be killed solely for that reason. Are there any publically active Jews or Jewish organisations in Gaza? 3. There's a difference between subconsciously and automatically have biased against members of an 'outgroup' and actively killing them. 4. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67629181.amp 4.5. A common counterpoint to the claim that Palestinians are responsible for the actions of Hamas is that Hamas rules the area and it isn't safe to oppose them. How is some teenage kid in Israel supposed to refuse to enlist without any governmentally authorised 'valid' reason responsible for his conscription, using that logic? And even if he did pick up a gun, how is it justifiable to go house to house killing even younger children who aren't even old enough to read? Also, your enemy being a soldier doesn't give you a free pass to do whatever. There are things called POW camps. There is nothing in international law that says soldiers should be punished by rape and watching their entire family get massacred in front of them

Genocide does not need to be quick to be genocide. The Israeli policy has been 'slowly turn up the heat and inure Western politicians and decision-makers to the deaths of Palestinians bit by bit' after earlier politicians went off at them for shit they did in Lebanon. 1. Uh, their predecessors did. Then the Israelis destroyed it, drove the Gazans in tighter and built a new 'empty zone'. Rinse and repeat again and again. I am not exaggerating when I say there is *nowhere left*. Gaza is quite literally one of the most population-dense places on Earth. It cannot feed itself. It cannot water itself. Even though it is technically adjacent to the ocean, Israel practices piracy on any fishing boat that puts out to try and fish. Also, there was no base under a hospital. Like, when actually forced to show evidence on that, Israel had absolutely *nothing* to show for killing doctors and patients. There was an empty service tunnel, without even cabling for power. It was honestly pathetic. 2. Israel controls entry to Gaza (and on the other side Egypt maintains a 'we want none of this shit' policy. It is active policy to prevent *any* Jew who isn't lockstep with Israel in. The only Jewish faces the Gazans see are Israeli soldiers, and they are told again and again that Israel is 'doing this for all Jews'. Antisemitism is wrong but after a century can you blame the Palestinians for taking Israel at it's word for why it's doing this? 4. To be clear when I say 'it isn't safe to oppose Hamas' I mean they slaughtered their opposition. Defying Hamas gets examples made, and Hamas controls all the weapons *and* keeps most of the available food and water for military purposes. Defy Hamas and your kids might not get rations. Even then Hamas doesn't force Palestinians to *fight* for them, just not publicly oppose them. Refuse to serve in the IDF and you spend time in prison. It's not exactly the same penalty for the same act.

Dude yes. Finally someone else saying what I’ve been thinking. Both Israel and Hamas are so awful I could never support either in good faith. And to be honest, hamas’s influence on regular Palestinians has been damaging to say the least, and it isn’t wholly untrue to say that many of the regular citizens have the same goals as Hamas. This can be observed in countless protest videos or interviews. This is the same in Israel. Many citizens think they are doing the right thing, but obviously not all. The only difference is the imbalance of power. They both hate each other and just want to wipe each other out. It almost doesn’t even matter who started it whether it was oct 7 or 1948 cause both sides are detestable now and they need to be controlled by the rest of the world. Both sides have completely lost the plot

They aren't 'going public' because institutions like this have bylaws and responsibilities under national legislation. They aren't private individuals who can do whatever they want, they are government-funded entities with *decades* (270 years for Columbia University) of legal and procedural baggage, so they are forced into the 'proper way' of doing things.

Judging an incident involving Jews a certain way because of what some otjer Jews did somewhere else is a bit weird imo. Despite that, I'm not going to say with 1000% that this isn't some weird propaganda psyop. But logically speaking, it's trivially simple to prove something was photoshopped. You just need to hand your phone over and let the experts check the data. And once the investigation's over, the rebound effect it'd have in the Jewish community if it was fake would be absolutely devastating. Why would they do something that's so easy to disprove?

Nah mate, digital fakery has gotten *incredibly* sophisticated in the past decade. Second, the Jewish community is divided between the Zionists, the people who just keep their heads down and the folks who *hate* the shit Israel is doing. The Zionists don't *care* if this is a lie or not, they care if it *works*, the second group are trying not to get hurt and the last already don't believe a thing the Zionists say. Contrary to media claims about 'antisemitic protests', you'll find the *core* of those protests is often a group of very pissed off Jewish people.

The vast majority of Jews are Zionists, as in they believe Israel should exist. 50% of the global Jewish population lives in Israel. The other half almost entirely lives in the US, with some still remaining in Europe. I doubt the Jews in Israel want Israel destroyed, making them Zionists. And [80% of American Jews](https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/05/11/u-s-jews-connections-with-and-attitudes-toward-israel/) care deeply about Israel's existence. You can claim the Jewish community is divided about whether Israel should exist or not, but those against Israel are basically about the same percentage as Blacks for Trump, and I know how much people hated when others tried to tokenize them for their political beliefs.

Well, I'm not going to discuss the percentage of Zionist Jews in the US. But the argument that you do is very interesting since you're arguing that non Zionists shouldn't be considered at all because they're a minority. So, the way I see it you argue that minorities can be ignored in favor of the majority. Ok, but then you're arguing that Jews as a group are politically irrelevant in the US and shouldn't be listened to because they really are around 2-3% of the entire American population. Is this something you agree with? That the US shouldn't care about Jewish opinions regarding the conflict and only Christians are relevant since they're the vast majority of the people in America?

If in a group of 10 people, 9 support a thing, and 1 opposes it, I would not generally use the term "divided" within that context to describe the group, as divided generally implies a somewhat more equal representation. Once you get into the realm of 7 vs 3, then it would begin to make more sense as the term to use. And in terms of Jews who are against Israel's existence, based on the polling I've seen, I would say that number is less than 10% of the global Jewish population.

See, but this is the point. Jews in the US are less than 3%. Thus the US would have no business caring about Jews in Israel. It's a foreign country. At least not anymore than Armenia. Think about it. Armenians are a diaspora people who suffered a Holocaust (in fact that's the original meaning of the Holocaust, the term was coined to describe the genocide to Armenians). Why does the US care about Israel rather than Armenia, a Christian country that is much weaker and has recently suffered territory loses against Azerbaijan backed Turkey? It's a foreign country but at least they believe in Jesus unlike Israel.

Yeah they have nukes (oh maybe you're one of those who say they don't). But that's not ideal, they'd end up in an even weaker position than Russia because using nukes is not realistic and unlike Russia Israel has no sizable land or resources to make an invasion impossible.

No, I'm saying that there is a history of faking shit by Zionists, so it's a valid concern to be thinking about. Also like, Israel *itself* has a history of false flags, like that time they murdered US sailors to try and trick the USA into a war with Egypt. And frankly it has nothing to *do* with Jewishness; Zionists are fascists and *this is what fascists do*. Fascists see the world as a zero-sum game, where coexistence is impossible and the only way to survive is brutal bloodshed and slaughter of all competitors. There is no 'good' for a fascist that does not involve 'they win'. It's the core 'problem' of letting fascists into polite society, that being that they reject morality and ethics and will do *anything* to win. That is the *core premise* of Zionism; that Jews can only 'be safe' if they butcher and slaughter anyone near them. That 'peace' is a *lie*. Zionist false flags go right to the *beginning* of this whole shit show; fascist paramilitary groups (that eventually formed the IDF) committed terrorist attacks and pinned them on the Jewish groups who had been living in the Levant for centuries (Mizrahi and Sephardi) to the Palestinians against them, and then they went 'see, they hate you, we told you they hate you, join us and you'll be *safe*'.

Egypt and Sudan used to have a majority of Copts and maybe a tiny minority of ethnic Arabs in Egypt who descended from people coming from the Peninsula. In Syria and Iraq there were ethnic Kurds and Assyrians. In the North African countries west of Egypt the entire population used to be Berbers. 2. Not all Israelis have dual citizenship. Where would you propose they go? Also, isn’t it messed up to do collective punishment on a population by forcing them to leave their generational homes due to the sins of their ancestors and current government? 3.

To your last point, I do believe that Palestinians should have a right to return (as should other expelled groups such as Pomeranian, Volga, and Silesian Germans). I also believe that there should be an autonomous or independent Palestinian land, and that the Israeli settlers in the West Bank should be expelled and punished (this might seem contradictory, but the way I see it it isn’t as they are bad people and thus deserve bad things.

The entire “violent pro-Palestinian attack Jewish students because they are Jewish” serve this purpose. People totally disregard what students are advocating for instead they hate them because of their political positions(significant of them leftists)

So the pro-Palestine protesters got ridiculed, beaten and arrested and Zionists are STILL playing the victim? Do they really think this behavior is cute or endearing to anyone?

The behavior has the intention to manipulate public opinion. Playing the victim is a common right wing tactic.

Very antisemitic. These guys here are coping so hard with statements like “most Jews in America aren’t Zionist” (not true as at least 85% to 95% or Jews are Zionist or support the State of Israel existing) or “the evil Jewish money for the student life in college campuses!!” (Well, if you had the interest of improving your people’s lives, maybe invest money into your own building through the money of millionaires amongst your group) The ignorance of Jewish history and trying to goysplaining to Jews what Judaism or being Jewish is, is incredible.

Considering that their job is to make their students feel as safe and comfortable as possible but responded with vomiting emojis, insinuations of corruption, and complaints of “privilege”, to a seminar on how to better do that for a group of students which is being targeted based on ethnicity due to a real or imagined connection to a country half a world away, I’d say these people can lose their jobs and go fuck themselves. The same should happen to all of their supporters, including the majority of people in this comment section

The source of the texts is the Washington Free Beacon, a right wing tabloid. However based on Columbia’s response the material obtained was authentic. Every news article related to this issue is reporting on the WFB source and Columbia’s public and verifiable response. As of yet there is no report of any fabricated texts nor any missing context claims, but the sketchiness of the primary source needs to be taken into account

Israel has universal conscription which means all Israeli citizens have military experience. There's only about 14 million Jewish people in the world, mostly in the US and Israel, and its extremely common for someone living in the US to have family in Israel, or the other way around. Visiting family isn't weird or strange.

Not family visit but actual invitation of them as speakers at school events after fighting in Gaza and West Bank. The US is purportedly doing background check on military service of Israelis who apply for green card

View on Reddit #30169140

Zellgun@reddit

Doesn’t sound like antisemitism to me. They’re just talking about privilege of pro-Israel students, who most of the time happened to be Jewish. They even talk about how their students are not dangerous and how to protests includes non-Israel Jews, which is a good point, how can it be antisemitic if Jews are openly joining the protests? Lastly, it’s Jerusalem Post, which is not to say this is wrong but they love playing the narrative and lean towards sympathy for Israel. But thanks for the read.

It has vowed to keep pressing the issue. > > “Jewish students deserve better than to have harassment and threats against them dismissed as ‘privilege,’ and Jewish faculty members deserve better than to be mocked by their colleagues,” said the committee chairwoman, Virginia Foxx, in a Tuesday statement. “These text messages once again confirm the need for serious accountability across Columbia’s campus.” > > The suspensions come as Columbia continues to grapple with months of antisemitism allegations on campus following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel and the ensuing war in Gaza. > > The school gained worldwide attention in April when pro-Palestinian students set up an encampment that sparked a nationwide movement and, critics said, created a hostile and threatening environment for Jewish students. More than 100 students were arrested at the encampment and subsequently during activists’ takeover of a campus building. Soon afterward, the school canceled its main commencement ceremony. > > The campus is quieter now that classes have ended, but the school’s antisemitism task force, set up in the weeks after Oct. 7, is due to release a report about incidents in which Jewish students were targeted. > > Student protesters, meanwhile, have vowed to keep demonstrating even as classes have let out. Student groups around the city last month, including at Columbia, declared a “Summer of Resistance,” urging followers to take “non-stop action” in the coming months. - - - - - - [Maintainer](https://www.reddit.com/user/urielsalis) | [Creator](https://www.reddit.com/user/subtepass) | [Source Code](https://github.com/urielsalis/empleadoEstatalBot) Summoning /u/CoverageAnalysisBot
