For anyone seeing this in greater, lemmy, I am making fun of this because it is including people like Hasan Piker, Cori Bush, and Greta Thunberg as antisemites which is ridiculous. I'm only somewhat aware of Bassem Youssef and don't think he is an antisemite either and I don't know who Jess Natale is (I also didn't know who John Cusack was and looked him up and he is not an antisemite either). Obviously people like Candace Owens and Jackson Hinkle are antisemitic, but if you are gonna cheapen the word by including Greta Thunberg as an antisemite you deserve to be clowned on.
How exhausting it must be for Bassem to be accused of being a Jewish spy in Egypt only to come to America and get accused of being an antisemite.
Reactionaries really are as simple as "you are saying things I don't like, you must be [current enemy of society]!"
Greta fucking Thunberg lmao

Dan Bilzerian:
Bilzerian has generated controversy for a series of statements against Jews and Judaism as early as 2010. He has gone on record to say that the Jewish people perpetrated the Holodomor in Soviet Ukraine, assassinated John F. Kennedy in 1963 and Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, created the "transgender nonsense," and orchestrated the September 11 attacks and the Iraq War, among other assertions and antisemitic conspiracy theories. He also stated that Nazi Germany "flourished" when "Hitler removed Jews from the banking system" and that Spain's golden age began because it expelled the Jews at the end of the Reconquista in 1492.
In a 2024 interview with Piers Morgan, Bilzerian claimed that Judaism "promotes supremacy andremoved, and steals from other people as long as they're not Jewish" and that "most of the problems today are caused by Jewish supremacy." He invoked the term "antisemitism" as a misnomer, stating that the Palestinian people "are the real semites." He also stated that all Israeli Jews are "Eastern European Ashkenazi Jews" and "don't have actual Hebrew DNA." Bilzerian further claimed that Jews "control the media" and promoted Holocaust denialism, saying that "I would bet my entire net worth that it was less than six million." Bilzerian followed up on this claim about the Holocaust by stating that Jews "killed more Christians than six million" and that "they've basically invented genocide."
Yeah, definitely the same as the people calling Israel an apartheid state, or calling for a ceasefire
Antisemite of the Year went to Rashida Tlaib, Kanye West, Anuradha Mittal, Nerdeen Kiswani, and Ilhan Omar— five PoC, four of whom are women. Kanye is the only openly antisemitic person I actually know of on that list.
This smells like bullshit. There are loads of openly raving white antisemites, but it seems clear this organization is more interested in pushing a Zionist agenda
I think if you're as oppressed as Zionists claim to be, you probably wouldn't be holding a tongue-in-cheek competition to figure out who's your biggest oppressor right?
I was going to say it’s weird seeing them treat this like something out of the teen choice awards.
Zionists always have this sort of weird combination of smugness, petty smarm, and passive aggressive humour about them
First time someone has simultaneously been streamer of the year and antisemite of the year
antisemitism is very much a real thing, and it's important to remember that zionists argue in bad faith
antisemitism is a powerful social force in the history of Europe (and its colonies). Zionism is the most ubiquitous and dangerous modern incarnation of antisemitism. And it is being wielded to allow a nuclear-armed Zionist entity to escalate war with Iran, which could very easily lead to a cataclysmic war that would destroy lives around the world.
Antisemite
Critical of Israel
At least in so far as Hasan, Cori, and Greta. Also not too familiar with all of Youssef's takes, but I would also think he's not actually antisemetic from what I've heard from him. Jess Natale seems to be someone on instagram that's a Bernie Sander supporter and has progressive (I know, doesn't really mean much) politics from what I could find through a quick search and article about her.
AntisemiteCritical of Israel
That's literally all it always boils down to as the Zionists are actually fine with real antisemties.
I thouhgt Hexbear would make the cut
I thought we bullied Zionists enough ?i definitely wouldn't characterise Bassem Youssef as an anti-semite, but he does feed the 'tail wagging the dog' narrative with regard to US-Israel relations - "Israel has corrupted the moral conscience of America", "It's all AIPAC" type of thing. More of an incomplete/unreconstructed anti-Zionism than anything else, I don't think he holds [racial/ethno-religious/whatever] animus towards Jewish people
