Despite its weaponization by Israel, antisemitism remains a valid category of hate. It's one of the greatest disservices of Israel to the Jewish diaspora world wide to appropriate it like this.
In fact the fight against antisemitism in the world is directly linked with Palestine liberation: If Jews are able to live safe, free and fulfilled lives outside of Israel, the entire Zionist argument for Israel as the safe haven falls apart. I want my Jewish neighbours to live free and happy here with me, not to migrate to Israel! So any antisemitic attack on them here is a complete outrage, as it reinforces the narrative that they need Israel for safety.
Each Jew that lives in the diaspora is one less Israeli colonist. Protect them!
on top of that, Israel wants antisemitism.
they want Jews afraid, so they go to Israel to populate the illegal settlements.
Just to add to that. A decade ago there was a campaing Olim L'Berlin, which was a Facebook group promoting Israelis to move to Berlin. It ended up with basically every Israeli politican shitting on it.
Thank you for this. Never heard that argument before.
Exactly. There's been far too much hate against Jewish people throughout history, almost always as scapegoats to cover for the consequences of someone else's greed (kings, dictators, and other authoritarians love to do this). Always stand up for your he-bros and he-broettes when antisemites harass and/or attack them.
There's no excuse for an ethnostate in the 21st century. Nor is there excuse for letting our fellow human beings be attacked for their religious, sexual, or gender identity.
