It’s amazing how quickly they were able to burn all of their credibility in the past few years.

  • Octopus: Antisemitic
  • "Ok" hand gesture: Antisemitic
  • Not buying a SodaStream: Antisemetic

Not buying a SodaStream: Antisemetic

I think I need context for this.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

SodaStream is a target of the pro-Palestine BDS movement.

Zionists, like the freaks they are, say that being pro-Palestine is equivalent to antisemitism. Presumably that comment refers to Zionists who view buying a SodaStream as a badge of honor or act of nobility, though I personally haven’t seen anyone say that outright.

Man, I needed a reminder on what SodaStream even was, I assumed they went bankrupt years ago. Thanks for the context.

I've had one for years, and always have cold water in the fridge ready to make sparkling water.

And my energy company is Octopus!

Didn't realise that all this time I'd been a Nazi 🤔

Not an American so I don't really know ADL, but while it's important to listen closely to organisations working against racism, they're not always right and don't have the final say in all matters.

Elon heiled for everyone to see.

Fuck that and the fuck the ADL. There is no unity to be had with fascists.

The ADL also thinks gluing coins to the road is a hate symbol. Not worth taking them seriously.

They are making the most as the spiritual successor of the Verband Nationaldeutscher Juden.
