Why are people so antisemitic and one sided against Israel?

[Anonymous]

I'm at least open minded to what Netanyahu is doing for Israel. I'm not going to call him a "war hero" like Trump did. Is he like Hitler? Hitler was the most lied about man to ever live, so maybe. I don't know what to believe. All I really know is the people Israel is surrounded by want war and they've got a war.

There's actually more to the story. Israel and Egypt have blockaded Gaza for a long time before the attack on Israel HAMAS launched. In no way do that excuse their actions, but it wasn't wholly unjustified. Israel's response was completely rational and justified. However, they're not doing what they claimed to be trying to do. I'm pretty sure children are not sleeper HAMAS agents. Most terrorist organizations do not mobilize or recruit children. Even if they do at a younger age than we think is appropriate, it doesn't even come close to the number of children killed. Likewise, the number of adults killed probably dwarfs the number of HAMAS agents that were in Gaza.
So, the lack of support for Israel is because they're not seeking out HAMAS to get rid of them. They're just getting rid of Palestinians.

Practically every society carries a certain antisemitic element around, less in modern Western countries, more in backwards Muslim countries. That, willingly or unknowingly, conflates Jewish people, common Israelis, government officials, IDF-soldiers, etc. So, if one group of people did something questionable, all are to blame. It’s idiotic, of course.

[Asker]

Yeah? Like practically every country carried around anti roman elements when Rome was running around enslaving people and calling it the Defense of The Republic? I'm not one sided either way, Israel is full of shit in many ways and if they want a sovereign nation they should have their sovereign nation without meddling in other nations business

Did you know that most Israelis themselves don't trust Netanyahu and believe he is prolonging the war to keep himself in power?

Obviously, you don't know much. What Netanyahu is doing is genocide, slow and systematic. There are all sorts of books and historical information you can read, from all perspectives, and decide for yourself if you really care. Then you can decide who the occupiers are and who isn't.

I'll tell you this much - you can't believe anything you hear from the US news media. Even world media has been stymied by the IDF, and information itself has to be smuggled out of Gaza. You have to find info from every possible source, from Al Jazeera to podcasts to the usual Associated Press or Reuters. Good luck.

Anti-Semitism is a very longstanding prejudice and Jews are not numerous, so people with a bully mindset see us as an easy target that can be eliminated completely. In addition, leftists have decided to target Jews, and that’s much of what you’re seeing.

[OneViewpoint]

I for one am not antisemitic or opposed to Israel, Judaism, or Jews. But I am no fan of Netanyahu or the Likud. They are fascists, same as the orange asshole we have at the moment or Putin. The world needs fewer of these people.

[Asker]

By fascist you mean someone who identifies with their own people and is willing to protect them?

[OneViewpoint]

And by antisemitic you mean anyone who disagrees with your favorite genocide project. So it's impossible to criticize the actions of the Israeli government with out being antisemitic. You're not helping your cause. You cheapen the word antisemitic until it ceases to have any value.

[Asker]

And by genocide project you mean a military taking out a terrorist group that sponsored the mass murder of 1000+ people at a concert, with your only retort being "ISRAEL LET IT HAPPEN!" See how stupid and one sided you are?

[Asker]

My bad there is also the other retort "All israeli citizens are military personnel" but i think that one is a little too autistic for you to use personally

[OneViewpoint]

How many of the Hamas leadership have been killed? How many civilians have been shot, bombed, and starved to death? Sorry fascist, this was never a military operation. Stop pretending it was. This was genocide to wipe out a group of people. It was just an excuse to do what Netanyahu wanted all along. You may as well get a Swastika tattoo.

[Asker]

a fallacy on all points. they're targeting Hamas. and I'm already flying an American flag in my yard. not sure how you think this land was acquired

[OneViewpoint]

Exactly. Nothing to be proud of. So your justification is "everyone is doing it, therefore it's OK". Well that's the moral low ground. Talk about a fallacy! I wonder what your tune would be if the USA decided to level Israel and cut off humanitarian aid. Your butthurt screaming would be heard around the world. But hey, everyone does it, right?

[Asker]

If you had a debate with Netanyahu he would make you look like the yahoo. Your viewpoint is definitely one viewpoint. A 10000k mile high viewpoint that sees absolutely nothing

[RedInnocent69]

It’s not antisemitic to be against war, for international law, or against starvation. I’m not against Netanyahu because he’s Jewish, I’m against Netanyahu because he’s a corrupt, warmongering asshole

[Asker]

So you're not antisemitic you're just a coward who thinks they should make peace with people who want them dead

[Asker]

With people who support a group of terrorists that shot 1000+ people at a concert

[BarryLiverstone]

The guy gave you an answer, why accuse him of something he didn’t say?

[Asker]

@BarryLiverstone Stop talking to me Gallstone

[Asker]

The countries that are antisemitic have cultures where The Bossman gets his way 100% of the time. That thinking has carried over to their military strategy and they are seeing the result. You can't bully a country that makes its own rules, forms its own armed gangs with machine guns and bombs, and expect to come out unscathed. They'll find out their prayers to Allah have fallen short soon enough and surrender.

[RedInnocent69]

The Torah says an eye for an eye. Since October 7, the count has been 1,195 Israelis killed compared to 63,000 Palestinians.

[andreasderjuengere]

Israel is just one ''semitic'' country among others.

Who's one-sided here?

[Buford_T_Justice]

Trump tried o arrange for the Palestinians to move to another country, but they would rather live in rubble.
