    The anti-semitic wolf.

    You know, when real, actual antisemitism happens to actual genuine Jews, nobody will care - and the sad part is that it will be down to all the fake jews who constantly claim anti-semitism every time anyone calls them out on their vileness.

    That's all they do. Their whole existence is based on a lie

    Well, in fairness as a voting bloc in the US they are at most 2% of the voters. Nobody is going to win or lose on the basis of their votes over 50 states. White American voters were far more important to his victory, and he didn't mention them at all. Given how closely Trump is aligned with the likes of the Kushners, and how much he is loved by the zionists, I presume they don't want to overplay things by trumpeting how important their support is.

    Trump is best understood as the guy who everyone projects their own biases onto. There is nothing there. He is a mirror. He allows people to pretend their views are his views. Biden completely and openly supported israeli genocide over the past year. Harris lacked the courage to say genocide is wrong. Trump said nothing at all. In the absence of any courage from Harris, voters pretend Trump is the anti-genocide candidate. Because he said nothing. That is US democracy.

    Wow, a great byline by the totally impartial Natalie Lisbona

    “Men beaten, “possibly” for the crime of being gay”

    Meanwhile there are protests on the streets in Israel defending the right of guards and soldiers to rape prisoners. #OnlyDemocracy #MostMoralArmy

    The Sky News fact check report that was subsequently deleted suggested Israeli supporting politicians and media had lied about events in Amsterdam (by not mentioning the violent attacks by Maccabi fans in the city, nor their well documented links to the far right and racist extremists in Israel). None of the things in the Sky report were 'crazy conspiracy theory' stuff….they were pointing out huge holes in the pro-Israel narrative that was being spun by politicians and the media.

    Well look at this, zionists attacks jews and nothing was said about 'anti-semitism' or 'pogroms' by the forever offended



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,400 ✭✭✭Wolf359f


    You willingly interchange Israeli with Jewish many many times on this thread. If an Israeli is targeted it's not antisemitism. It's the main reason the term is getting thrown about like confetti. I honestly don't believe you know what antisemitism is.

    It's why the media reporting is under so much scrutiny. They mention the Israeli team fans being targeted and then in the same sentence calling it antisemitic. They never mention the word Jew. So they were targeted for either being football fans (hooliganism) or for being Israeli (xenophobia)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,650 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    Lol the actual audacity that you think that somehow you are the authority on what is and isn't anti semitism. Unfortunately those pesky jews just won't listen to you but don't worry they'll get what they deserve according to you.

    Replace jews with 'black people' and anti semitism with 'racism' and your post probably wouldn't be allowed to remain, and certainly would be called out as the racist nonsense it is.

    Whereas no one can deny the antisemtism phenomenon exists - it is odd that although there were over a hundred people, including innocent children, killed as a result of IDF attacks over the past couple of days, many on this thread essentially sweep this devastation under the carpet to focus on violence after a football match, which as bad as it was - resulted in the hospitiliazation of a handful of people. Is there a name for this phenomenon?

    Always fascinated to see that Israeli’s are subjected to less media gaslighting about their own terrorism than those in the West.

    https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/editorial/2024-11-10/ty-article-opinion/netanyahus-ethnic-cleansing-is-on-display-for-all-to-see/00000193-12ac-d3a2-a3d7-5bed1d8d0000


    Then again, Ilan Pappè has mentioned multiple times that most Western media coverage with respect to Israel is heavily censored with the exception of ironically Israel itself.

    Anyway, editorial in Haaretz claiming what is going on there is ethnic cleansing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,338 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    One imagines that the western media are terrified of being accused of anti-Semitism in saying anything overly critical of the regime. But Jewish / Israeli people are free of course to call out the terrorist state and call a spade a spade here.

    You've constantly made this claim that Iron Dome does not work and is worthless.

    Can you provide some military and defense experts asserting that opinion?

    Putting aside Iron Dome is not used to intercept ballistic missiles.

    Or are you still subscribing to the infantile logic that because it doesn't have a 100% shoot-down rate it's worthless?

    No military in the world possesses such magical technology, not even the US.

    I'd love to see some expert opinion that Iron Dome/Arrow/Sling are "paper tigers" and "worthless".

    Also worth nothing that while simultaneously claiming that Israel's air defence network - considered one of the most advanced in the world - is worthless, you were actually hyping up Iran's air defense capability, known to be ineffective and decrepit.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,726 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    That's, literally, what it comes down to. People and organisations are in perpetual fear of being branded "antisemitic" because the disingenuous sling that term around at the drop of a hat, so they jump through hoops to navigate around such a possibility. Israel are even trying to normalise criticism of Israel as "antisemitic".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 561 ✭✭✭CliffHangeroner


    It's incredible how easily manipulated people can be by Israeli propaganda but then again that's how easy it is when you have massive media organisations doing your leg work for you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 801 ✭✭✭Miniegg


    Well absolutely.

    It is just bizarre to see people ignore the genuine destruction and devastation to so many lives, and then fire out labels of anti semetism at people due to their opinions a comparitively small incident after a football match.

    Most people in the world see women and children being bombed on their TV screens or on their phones, and are naturally appalled by that, especially when the war that is going is so one sided and cruel. there is no glory in bombing innocent people. Arresting the doctors in one of the last remaining hospitals, leaving sick and injured people to die - the cruelty in actions like that is unfathomable to most people. The aggressors of these actions, be they Israeli, Russian, whatever, will naturally feel some repurcussions of these actions due to the abhorrent actions of their government.

    I haven't read the thread in any detail, but I don't see what the religion of the aggressors has to do with it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,726 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    It's cheap distraction.

    Children being torn apart on a daily basis is passed off in a blase manner because it's "their guys" doing the murdering. But a few football fans get some slaps for acting like dickheads and it's time to clutch the pearls and start crying about how it's the most awful thing ever.

    You're wasting your time with him. He is a bad faith poster that constantly accuses others of ignoring questions and believing unverified sources, but it's fine for him to do these things because it suits his narrative. He weeps for hooligans getting a kicking but still not a word from him about the 70 per cent killed in Gaza being women and children.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,677 ✭✭✭mikethecop


    Who do you think i mean the salvation army ? there is hours and hours of footage of large mobs attacking and destroying small parts of European cities , some times its a football result some times its the police trying to prevent open criminality , some times its some thing that happened a few thousand miles away

    lol your not making a lot of sense there with the rest of your post , your referring to something from another thread that has been both removed and not removed ? lol your emotions seem to have got the better of you and your just ranting now ,

    fact is as time goes by its more and more clear that the events in Amsterdam including last night were pre planned and orchestrated and carried out by large groups of radicalised Muslim men living in a western city and specifically targeting jews

    btw weepsie you dont get to tell other posters what they can say here , theres a name for people who try to do that :-)

    If you are having to deny mainstream media reports and resort to conspiracy theories to validate your worldview which aligns and fed by propaganda from Iran and Islamist terrorists

    Perhaps it’s time to consider you might be on the wrong side of the debate?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,338 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    It's a very clever tactic by their propagandists: "You don't like Israel? You're obviously a bigot who hates Jewish people".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,338 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    Why did Sky News delete their fact checking video on Amsterdam and then even the subsequent amended version….what was the reason for the deletions?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,411 ✭✭✭j62


    I don’t work for sky news but I doubt it’s a conspiracy theory by the global Jewish elite or such nonsense



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,785 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    whatabouttery?

    It's always the same. tens of thousands of women and children killed. But it's justified because of something that happened in Amsterdam.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,677 ✭✭✭mikethecop


    have you calmed down a bit so we can understand the posts? good

    what would you call a large group of people acting with violence for religious or cultural reasons ?

    again you do not get to dictate others opinions , no matter how much you disagree . thank fully that will never be in your power

    ok post them if you want to elude to them

    https://peoplesdispatch.org/2024/05/03/house-passes-bill-to-define-antisemitism-as-criticism-of-israel/

    The US House of Representatives have already passed a bill to define criticism of Israel as antisemitism.
    Germany has recently passed a law that similarly defines some criticism of Israel as antisemitism which is a criminal offence.
    Many US states and some European countries have made the boycotting of Israeli products illegal.

    So hypothetically if one criticises say, oh I don’t know, I know it sounds far fetched, but for arguments sake, the Israeli bombing of hospitals, schools, an attack on an aid convoy, the sniping of children, the rape of prisoners, the murder of doctors and nurses, the shooting of journalists, the attack on UN peacekeepers, etc.

    That’s antisemitism.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,338 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    That wouldn't preclude some dodgy editorial interference. It's a fact that Sky News had to delete an explanatory video and then a subsequent amended video about Amsterdam, not some crazed conspiracy theory.

    The people's dispatch is conveniently leaving out the parts that address the very idea that all criticism of Israel would be antisemitic.

    I'm not saying it's a brilliant piece of legislation or necessary, I'm not an expert, but it's not as simple as "all criticism of Israel will be antisemitic."

    There's a section that says something like any accusation that would be reasonably levelled at any other democratic country cannot be antisemitic.

    It seems to be more about strengthening existing laws than anything, with a big focus on collective.

    It seems to me that it doesn't want to stop anyone saying "Israel has killed far too many women and children" but more so something like "Israel loves murdering women and children".

    So to say it will mean that you'll be labelled antisemitic by the state for simply criticizing hospital strikes or civilian dead isn't true nor does the bill remotely attempt to do that.

    The US allows it's own media to criticize the actions of it's armed forces, policy decisions, etc. I don't know why someone would think they're going to turn around and blanket ban all criticism of Israel across the board.

    The only aspect of it I found a bit strange was I think it says something about it being illegal to compare the actions of contemporary Israel with Nazi Germany.

    I know nothing about the German law so won't even comment on it.
