Absolutely 100% agreed. The organizers of the Palestinian protest should have kicked them out.

Not only is this despicable, it dilutes the very important effort of raising awareness of what Israel is doing in Gaza.

Paid actors?

You can not guarantee that there will be no idiots at a public protest. But if the organisers are aware of them being present and do nothing, they should be judged accordingly.

We don't stand for this, the bottom picture are 2 graffiti made by people who we don't know, or when they were made, and 2 protestors with anti-Israel posters, not anti-Semitic. The wide movement of protests are absolutely not anti-Semitic, and you trying to post shit like this conflating anti-zionism with anti-Semitism is disgusting

The star of David makes the posters ambiguous they could refer to either Israel or Jews. The grafitti in the images is explicitly antisemitic. Splitting hairs over this is pretty gross imo. I don't like crticiism of Israel being called antisemitic, but that doesn't make antisemitism suddenly ok

Yeah... I can denounce nazis while and at the same time denounce what Israel is doing in Gaza with a clear conscience.

I think you are mixing up the Star of David with the Israeli flag, which has the star on it.

Edit: I didn't notice the 2 smaller photos, that shit is unacceptable.

Anti-zionism is not antisemitism.

[–] kaffiene@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

"kill the Jews" and "death to the Jews" are antisemitic not anti Zionists. JFC

Solid attempt at pretending to miss the point.

The point being that you're ignoring the actual content you're responding to?
