    It's clever propaganda.

    Not only does it smear the protests, it terrifies Jews into migrating to Israel.

    ... well it used to. I don't think the propaganda is hitting the same anymore.

      Right?? I am anything but antisemitic, but I dislike the way Isreal handles its conflict.

      But media portrays it as such. But not being jewish I don't know how the issue handles for them in their private life.

        Judaism isn't a nationality or an ethnicity. It's a religion. Jewish people don't have any reason to 'handle' what's happening in Palestine any differently than anyone else UNLESS they're a fascist.

          Judaism is definitely an ethnic group as well as a religion. Any sociologist would accept that.

      I've wondered about this lately. Can any Jewish people living outside of Israel comment on what they're seeing among friends and family about trends in rates of emigration to Israel over the past few decades? I'm particularly curious as to how gen-Z Jews feel about it.

        Anecdotal but I found out one Gen Z American I know who had recently gotten Israeli citizenship and lived in Tel Aviv. Hadn't seen him since highschool but he was posting the most insane shit like "1000:1 Palestinians to Israelis is the price."

      I went to one with a couple of thousand people even in the small city/large town near me. How widespread they are is genuinely uplifting.

      It would probably result in a policy changing which the West could not possibly comprehend happening che-smile

    Do they even realize how many Jews are in the streets WITH the protestors? If someone said they were doing a genocide for MY benefit, I would be disgusted. And why weren't they asking this question every time western fascists like Piers Morgan or Paul Watson open their mouths about "inferiors"?

    Westoids go from giggling about how hilarious Adolf Hitler was for doing a genocide against Jews, but them are the first to give out lectures on antisemitism when someone takes issue with a bunch of kapos trying to exterminate Muslims.

        Just like white people at a blm protest. "Virtue signalling white saviors" because you're supposed to stick to your tribe apparently.

      I'd say it's 50/50 that they do know and are consciously trying to push the talking point that opposing Israel in any way is anti-semitism.

    smartest zionist propaganda: please leave the UK where you have to worry about ... solidarity demonstrations... and move to Israel, where we are currently getting our asses kicked by insurgents

    How are Jews meant to stay in the U.K.?

    Like they normally do.

    Although fascists like her should immigrate to Israel by trying to swim the English channel

    I shouldn't be, but I'm constantly surprised by the amount of mask off anti-Semites who keep repeating implicit or explicitly that "Israeli=Jew" or "Zionism=Judaism" (both of these are incredibly anti-Semitic. In fact I'd argue that Zionism IS anti-Semitism made into an actual, actionable ideology as opposed to just pure bigotry ie "here, we cleared a land for you. Now, go! We don't want Jews here! [in US and Europe, etc]")

    How are Jews pro-zionists meant to stay in the UK?

    I mean where else are pro-zionists supposed to go? You think THIS is bad, just wait'll I tell you how many more people are protesting genocide and persecution in Palestine itself!

    Pretty sure most of these people would be thrilled for Jews to stay in the UK rather than move into the homes of Palestinians who were ethnically cleansed

    I really really wish every time I see an idiot like this that they're a bot, but some of them surely aren't. It makes me irrationally mad to think how fucking detached from reality you must be to say shit like that in public (or in the internet at least)
