      It’s not. That type of thinking just works with the narrative, whether it’s conflating “Israel” and “Jews,” or “Men” and “rapists,” or “Blacks” and criminals, or Muslims and terrorists. The point is to make it impossible to argue with anything said

      because the pro-israeli lobby has spent millions, billions even, on trying to corrupt the discourse so that any criticism of israel is inherently linked to antisemitism, and tens of millions of people, if not more, have bought into that social engineering and believe deeply that criticizing israel is literally worse than anything hitler did.

        It’s not marketing. It’s a targeted campaign to intertwine the two… oh wait yeah it’s marketing 🤣

        Israel’s 1948 Declaration of Independence states the nation was founded on the “national and historic right of the Jewish people”

        Israel’s 2018 Basic Law constitutionally enshrined the state as the “nation-state of the Jewish people,” granting exclusive national self-determination to Jews, prioritizing Jewish settlement as a “national value”, designating Hebrew as the sole official language (with Arabic demoted to “special status”), affirming Jerusalem as the capital, and guaranteeing Jewish immigration rights.

        This may be why people conflate the two. Israel has defined itself as Jewish state.

        As Mo Amer says, it’s a marketing issue.

      I mean how is it much different than “I hate Trump and Elon” but I don’t hate Americans … (well I am an American but still).

      Didn’t they legally make them the same thing? Or try to? It’s bullshit. We probably don’t have many agents in here yet but they’ll get here eventually.

    Lefty here. Fuck Israel. Judaism is cool though. Praise YHWH. Looking forward to Passover with my friends this year. Fuck the modern state of Israel.

          When I responded I had read liberal as progressive and responded accordingly, I’m not certain what happened in my brain but my response makes no sense reading it now. Sorry about that.

    Like I’ve said before, I’ve never been more disgusted with Zionists and Israel. The fact that his goofy ass is sucking off Netanyahu in the background just makes me pissed off like nothing else. I’ve literally only been using bluesky to ask him to Resign

      Becau$e.

      Disclaimer in case it’s necessary:Not meant to invoke an antisemitic trope, meant to point out a reality of American politics in general and Schumer in particular. Him being Jewish has nothing to do with his greed, but him being a corrupt politician does.

          My point exactly.

          Some ACTUAL antisemites believe or pretend to believe all sorts of tropes about “inherently greedy jews”, though, so felt the need to distance myself from that kind of nonsense just in case someone got the wrong idea 🤷

            Also nation states are not a people the Jewish people are not to blame just because they are Jewish. Only the actions of the few people in their government and the people that support them. Them being Jewish has nothing to do with it.

    I wonder if that quote could cause him to face the consequences he deserves at some point in the future.

    That person is such a disappointment.

      Not when something like %80-%90 of our government has been taken over by zionists. Above the board the paid off are being funded by AIPAC and other pacs. But more importantly are life long politicians and three letter agencies that have been infested with Zionist plants.
