MODERATORS
 

The House of Representatives is trying to pass a resolution making the term “Free Palestine” an official antisemitic slogan.

Republican Representative Gabe Evans from Colorado introduced the resolution in the wake of the attack on a gathering for Israeli hostages in Boulder this week. Mohammed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national, has been charged for the attack, during which he yelled “Free Palestine,” according to the FBI.

“Whereas, while shouting ‘Free Palestine,’ an antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and Jewish people, Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with homemade Molotov cocktails,” the resolution reads. House Republicans are expected to vote on the nonbinding resolution next week.

What always stuck me as odd with that attack on the Israeli's was that the cops didn't blast that guy full of holes the moment they got there. I always thought it was a very out of character show of restraint from the same cops that shoot black children out the window of their car if they see them with a stick in their hands.

I know it's fucking mad to suggest such a thing, but was it a false flag attack? Intended to give some credence to future "antisemitism" measures like this?

How about calling the country "Israhell" or better with the genuine name "Occupied Palestine"?

I append the word "genocidal," much as has been done with using "communist" as a prefix for various nations. Genocidal Israel.

I’m not anti-semetic. My dentist is Jewish.

No human should be treated as less than another. No human should be seen as offensive to another.

Why is Great Britain not getting so much fucking hate for how they historical contributed to this conflict? If people are wanting to legalize hate towards the humanitarian treatment of a whole territory and people, why is the nation that contributed to their existence not being criticized?

Oh well, they can label me what they want. This does nothing to change my mind.

Even the actual Nazis werent as bold as to start calling other people Nazis just to distract from themselves.

What happened to "America First"?

[–] BingoBongoBang@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Trump already fixed America. It's great again, got a new gulf and everything.

Is being antisemitic a crime?

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It doesn't matter. All the Palestinians will be dead or ethnically cleansed soon.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Someone no doubt once argued against Antisemitic law with the reasoning that it could be used to justify whatever those in power wanted and that was not a wise risk to take. Someone else said 'shut up, you racist' and passed the laws.

Those people armed their opponents with the very weapons that would be used against them. Congrats, liberals. Your unwise use of power has empowered the unwise.

“Wont someone think of the ~~children!~~ Jews!”

The irony being that both versions of the phrase are used by people who don't actually give a shit about these groups and are just weaponizing it to push a political agenda.
