Too many Zionists are using Antisemitism as a sword and the Shoah as a shield and it's fucking gross and they should be ashamed.

[–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah. The claims of antisemitism are a bizarre and somewhat insulting defence. Israel are committing warcrimes, but apparently its "antisemitic" to criticize the country's actions in that regard. It's as if Israel is should be completely immune to all forms of criticism - even after the most heinous actions.

Gotta love the Streisand Effect this is having, too. They arrest one notable person and suddenly a rather scattered movement has a martyr to rally behind.

What is ADL in this context?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 37 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

anti-defamation league. they once served a valuable purpose of pointing out when something was an antisemitic dog whistle. now they simply serve israel's imperial aims

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago

More accurately known as the Apartheid Defense League

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 7 points 3 weeks ago

They've always served Israel's imperial aims, but they've been going full mask off lately.

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 12 points 3 weeks ago

Ah yes, Reddit.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 10 points 3 weeks ago

Obviously fuck Israel but it's been nice seeing ADL and other Zionist organizations lose credibility over the past year and a half.

I updated their logo.

Has ADL actually supported this abduction?

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Considering they think any IDF criticism or free Palestinian support is either antisemitic or pro-Hamas, opposing the abduction would be extremely out of character. To the point where I'd say it's been their message regardless.

But also yes they did.

Seems low, even for them but I guess we can keep finding new lows for our country every day.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

ADL aggressively labeled anti-genocide protesters as antisemitic and tried to ruin their lives. They actively defended the intentional murder of civilians, reporters, and aid workers.

This seems rather tame by comparison to me.

I don't know, to me there's a big difference between libel and kidnapping but they must not think so. Or they're far more depraved than I imagined.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, defending genocide/murder + libel vs defending a kidnapping.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

but I guess we can keep finding new lows for our country every day.

God, isn't that the truth.
