Haaretz: Genocide or Not, Israel Is Perpetrating War Crimes in Gaza - Many Israelis are outraged at their actions in Gaza being characterized as genocide. But ask them what should be done to the enemy and they'll say: Obliterate, block aid, and go on bombing and killing

There's an old joke:
A Jewish shopkeeper is having trouble, so he hires a consultant to come in and see if he should change everything.
The consultant tells him, "Your problem is volume, you need to get more customers in to buy more, have you considered a buy-one-get-one-free sale?"
The shopkeeper says, "What is this word, "free," I've never heard of it?"
"Well, that's where you give something to someone without taking payment?
"That's crazy, who ever came up with that? There's no way any business would ever do such a thing, I never want to hear about it again!"
"Well, the store down the street is having that sale right now."
"Really, which one? We should go there and buy lots of stuff!"

Why are jokes that rely on Jewish stereotypes permitted in an antiwar sub?? This shouldn't be here. It has no relevance to the topic and portrays the legitimate opposition to genocidal Israel in a terrible light.

Agreed, the problem isn't Jewish people - it's Raytheon, Boeing, etc. Anything that ties Jewish people with the barbarisms of the Israeli Regime is wrong. It moves blame away from the top, who are at fault and don't care, and punches down.

Why are Jewish stereotypes the only ones that draw this kind of ire? I haven't seen you say this to the trolls who come in here saying that Muslims are terrorists or Russians are subhuman.
Especially when Judaism explicitly claims superiority and justifies hypocritical behavior, which is not to say that all Jews behave in this fashion. but that stereotype is no more bigoted than noting that I have been robbed more often by black people than white people, or that most of the illegal aliens I have encountered have been Hispanic.

I'm not a mod here, what do you expect, for me to live on this sub? You're accusing me of bullshit because of a lack of having done something. And, "I'm being just as bigoted as everyone else," isn't the win you think it is.

Hey, you're the one who came at me, I didn't come trying to play some kind of VC on you.

I think this shows that propaganda systems tell people what to say and think, like autosuggestion. Since the same rhetoric is repeated everywhere in the news, people internalise it without thinking about it.

Genocide, not "Not" -- and not "Genocide or Not" -- just, GENOCIDE. Call it the fuck what it is.
