Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

"After an article reported that Rachel Zegler “trashed” the production of Disney's Snow White due to her stance on Palestine, thousands online are applauding her vocal stance this week despite the pressures of working with Disney and former Israeli army soldier Gal Gadot."

I feel like Walt would approve hating on Israel.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’ve heard it said that Walt was an antisemite, so I looked it up to confirm. According to an article in jewishpress.com the evidence that Walt was really an antisemite is weak but the MPA of the time had more things of concern.. That same article goes on to equate anti-Israel with antisemitism so I doubt they’d give Walt any benefit of a doubt.

I’m not on Twitter, but I hear getting exposure to actual vile antisemitism happens quite fast.

I cannot wait for us to be past this “any criticism of Israel is antisemitism” and the US funding a genocide phase.

What makes you think we'll ever get past this? It's been going on since the founding of the state of Israel.

That’s a fair question. I guess I just hope (and do what I can) for a better future

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The twit was ‘and always remember, free palestine.’

Do you consider that to be hating on Israel?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is hating on the Holocaust hating on the Nazis?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

As melon-scratchers go, that's a honeydoodle!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I don’t view it that way, but Walt Disney definitely would.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago

Why?

You realize taking all the Jewish people out of Europe and putting them somewhere like the Middle East was one of the Nazis original plans...

Right?

If you didn't know that, you'd probably be constantly confused with why all types of Nazis are supporting Israel in 2025

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Saying "free Palestine" does not equal "down with Israel and the Jews". Wanting freedom from oppression for one group is not an endorsement of violence or oppression against another.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

down with Israel and the Jews

See, now you lost all credibility. There's no honest reason whatsoever to add "and the Jews" to that sentence.

Israel is not "the Jews".

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What? They weren't actually making that argument, you realize that right? I think you're literally agreeing with them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes they are, reread the comment. They're making a boring logical platitude, but they're equating Israel with "the Jews" in a way that's irrelevant to their point.

Again, there was no honest reason to add "and the Jews" to their comment other than to equate Israel with Jewish people in general. That's a tactic used by pro-genocide people to accuse anyone that protests Israel of being anti-Semitic.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No, they were summarizing the position of the people that they disagree with... Like you see the quotes, right? This isn't what they say or believe. It's pretty clear to me, from that one single comment, that they 100% don't equate Israel with "the Jews." It's like the entire point of their comment.

Maybe go back and reread what they said?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

While that may be true, nobody saying "free Palestine" has a positive view of Israel, do they?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

I don't have a positive view of a lot of countries, especially ones that are actively murdering men, women, and children but I am not advocating for the destruction or death to the inhabitants of those countries.

You are making yet another false equivalency. "Please stop murdering people and grant them freedom from oppression" does not equate to "I wish to see you and everyone around you dead".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

While that may be true, nobody saying “free Poland” has a positive view of Germany, do they?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

It’s hard to say…there’s this thing where a ton of people hate Jews but love Israel

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Either way he would still be an anti-union jackass so I don't really care what he would think

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've seen no indication whatsoever that this person hates Israel.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I meant more along the lines of the episode of Family Guy where Peter shoots Cleveland Jr. On accident and Carter supports Peter because he shot a black person.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yea, just not for the correct reasons.
