I was with you till you started excusing and rationalizing anti semitism

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Huh, weird, not sure where you read that, maybe you meant to reply to someone else?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 day ago

I think it's more a case of yet again calling everything and everyone anti semitic

[–] AFaithfulNihilist@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What specifically did he say that was rationalizing anti-semitism?

Is it your belief that all anti-Zionism is anti-semitism?

Not the guy you replied to, but:

In 1983, he announced in the New Statesman that Hitler had his reasons for exterminating six million men, women and children. "There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity," he said. "I mean, there's always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn't just pick on them for no reason."

That's... pretty fucking anti-semitic ngl. He's basically victim-blaming Jewish people for the Holocaust. Also "picking on them" is quite a eufemism for "industrially genociding".

That's got nothing to do with zionism or being anti-Israel.

Yep that's pretty fucking horrific.

I think that's case closed.

If we're done here can you turn off the lights on your way out?
