    "When I do a DNA test, it tells me I'm Jewish because we are that genetically distinct."

    What a bizarre remark. About what I'd expect from a fascist, though.

        Like I've said before, I'm convinced that if Nazi Germany were still around today, they'd have the exact same attitude of extreme victimhood + I'm the best 'cause le science says so.

    When speaking about China, Westerners are quick to claim that they "hate the government but love the people".

    When speaking about Israel, to hate the government is to hate the people.

    Which one is it, Westoids? What sets one apart from the other except racism?

      To be fair when 90+% of a population (in this case Jewish colonisers in Palestine) supports a genocide it is completely legitimate not to have very high thoughts of that population.

        I had an Israeli friend that was very progressive on just about every issue -- from "socialism" to the environment to healthcare to queer rights.

        As sson as the Oct 7 Flood happened, it was all "animals" and "these are monsters that want to kill all Jews" (quoting the Hamas charter where it, in fact, does not say that shit). Instant mask off moment.

        Israeli society is iredeemable.

    "When I do a DNA test, it tells me I'm Jewish because we are that genetically distinct." The fuck? Also, as another reply stated, hasn't Israel literally outlawed Ancestry testing because it proves most Israelis aren't from the Middle East?

      While millions of such kits have been sold in the United States, Israelis are forbidden to buy ancestry DNA kits from the store without presenting a court order, as the Israeli government controls these types of purchases due to the "Genetic Information Law."

    Nobody has the right to impose a colony or neocolony on somebody else’s land. The settlers could have been Poles, Roma, Serbs, or anybody else: it wouldn’t matter, because the results would have been identical. If anybody insists on (neo)colonizing somebody else’s land, the natives are always going to resist.

    Gentiles such as myself and Jews have plenty of good reasons to be disappointed with ‘Israeli’ society as a hole. Not only does the entire Zionist enterprise feel like a betrayal of the Jewish tradition of being and siding with the underdog, but the neocolony may well be the most racist entity in the world. Off the top of my head, only white Europe’s hatred for the Roma and Sinti comes close.

    That is not to say that there are no decent Jews in the neocolony, but I am sad to say that they are very much the exception to the rule, and it doesn’t help that the neocolony is increasingly stifling their voices.

      That misspelling of "whole" to be "hole" puts a smile on my face. Yes "Israeli" society is a disappointing hole.

    This isn't even worth responding to because this person has already declared you an antisemite and is insisting you think Jews shouldn't be allowed to exist. If you wrestle with pigs you get covered in mud.

    This Zionist attempt to conflate being anti-Israel with being anti-Semitic is so dumb. It rests on following a subtle train of "dogwhistles," "Jewish-coded language," "hidden messages," and so on. In real life, anti-Semitism is almost never that subtle. It is not an intelligent ideology; and genuine anti-Semites are much more likely to be spamming "14/88, Hitler wuz right, REBUILD AUSCHWITZ NOW" than cleverly drawing you in with deftly placed messages in the media.

    Anti-Semites, in other words, reveal themselves pretty much immediately, even in societies where being openly anti-Semitic is taboo. Anyone spreading fear that anti-Zionism is some kind of "cloak" for the New Black Hundreds is either misled or disingenuous -- most often the latter.

    No it doesn't, and maybe you should ask Israel's many allies about space to live if being around Palestinians with no miscegenation laws and equal rights
