"Any American Jew attending this rally is not a Jew"

The fucking audacity of these right wing jews

[–] spark947@lemm.ee 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Man, I love it when evangelical christian supporters tell me I am not Jewish enough. Friggin' heretical idolators.

[–] Syndic@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

Oh come on. How dare you to stand in their way of judgement day with your silly care for other human beings? ^/s^

Imagine how Chanukkah dinners are like this year… 😬

[–] taanegl 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, I just swore off my evangelical Christian aunt because of her promoting Israeli apartheid and genocide, but also because she ALWAYS ruins family dinners. It's like apart of her fetishizing the suffering of others introverted into her own victimisation.

Yes yes, it's the communist, nazi mOzLeMs that want to turn the country into a caliphate that is the reason you're a miserable cunt. Could you pass the damned potatoes?

Ironically its name is very close to a Nazi group.

And fuck the AfD even harder!

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was thinking the EDL but sure.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

And fuck them too!

[–] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

It's intentional. The only problem Zionists have with the Nazis was they wanted to genocide Jews in addition to the other "undesirables".

ADL vice, ADL vice, every morning hypocrisy.

Was that Edelweiss? I don't know what to do with this.

Fascism slowly rolling over America and people act like it’s normal.

[–] interolivary 7 points 1 year ago

That's because people support it.

As was pointed out, this isn't just the US. People everywhere are turning more and more towards populists, especially right-wing authoritarians.

Land of democracy and free speech. Palestinians should learn from america

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Leftwing Jewish activists campaigned against Israel’s bombardment and blockade of Gaza this week in Washington, culminating in protests that have seen hundreds arrested for civil disobedience outside the White House and Congress.

But groups like the Anti-Defamation League have dismissed the actions as unrepresentative of fellow Jews, signalling a growing rift in the community as the war in the Middle East continues to claim thousands of lives.

Demonstrators – some of them waving Palestinian flags – have accused Israel of preparing to commit genocide in Gaza in retaliation for the 7 October attacks by Hamas that killed more than 1,400 Israelis and resulted in nearly 200 being kidnapped.

In response, the staunchly pro-Israel Anti-Defamation League (ADL) – formed more than 100 years ago to combat antisemitism – said the activists belonged to “far-left radical organizations [who] do not represent the overwhelming majority of the Jewish community”.

Wednesday’s rally occurred in the aftermath of the previous day’s explosion at al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza, which killed hundreds of civilians.

Medea Benjamin, a veteran activist and founder of Code Pink, a women’s pro-peace group, pointed to a previous fatal strike on al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City during the 50-day war of 2014 as evidence of what she saw as Israel’s likely cullpability in Tuesday’s incident.


The original article contains 921 words, the summary contains 213 words. Saved 77%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Wednesday’s rally occurred in the aftermath of the previous day’s explosion at al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza, which killed hundreds of civilians. Israel was originally blamed for the strike, but US and Israeli officials have contested that report, saying it was more likely a failed rocket fired by a militant group within Palestine.
