    No he likes Israel so he can’t be antisemitic. That’s how this works now. He’s allowed to favor the expulsion of Jews so long as he favors expelling them to Israel. He’s allowed to believe Jews are an inferior race so long as he rates them higher than Arabs on the racial hierarchy. This is what it means to not be antisemitic in 2023 according to the Israeli state and the ADL. Jews that don’t accept this aren’t real Jews according to the same people.

      :this: is textbook Zionism, so it's totally acceptable to Christian Fascists, unlike 'FtRtS' which is a terrible antisemtic genocide chant you see.

        Every time a white settler in hears “from the river to the sea” what they really hear is “you’re next”, and they’re fucking right.

    There isn't much radicalized me faster than people saying "Palestinians will be free" is calling for genocide of Isreal.

    You're kinda admitting that Isreals existence is dependant on oppressing Palestine.

      If your state is predicated on the oppression of someone else, YOUR STATE DESERVES TO FUCKING DIE.

      THIS GOES TWICE FOR AMERIKA.

      The "okay" is also in response to someone saying something like "You wanna say hitler was right to my face and not anonymously on the internet?"

    This is part of how Israel, like, Star of David washes racists and antisemites. Can't be antisemitic if you support Israel, right??

      taps the Sarte sign about antisemitism

      “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

      maybe this is a bit of a misread of his character but I kind of get the hunch Elon's like Egghead from Disco Elysium where he can be reprogrammed to say literally anything based on whoever last spoke to him

      I don't have the screenshot, but as usual he didnt actually say it himself, he just agreed with a guy doing overt JQ stuff. Apple and Disney have pulled advertising over it.

      The literal next day he does this.

        He really is the king of half measures.

        Do something "super edgy" piss everybodynoff and then when there's actually consequences timidly walk it halfway back the next day, satisfying literally noone.
