@KumaMonster_TV@Twitch@TwitchSupport ๐ถ And I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more just to be the man who walks 1000 miles to get denied at your door ๐ถ
Sorry. This sucks wtf happened?
Shouts out to the dude I clearly heard yelling "stop the genocide free palestine" during the Israel performance in Eurovision, but bigger shouts out to the sound guy who kept that shit in.
Saying "Rabid Ultra Zionist Pigs" is NOT antisemitic. My perspective as a certified jew who's been raised Jewish, been bar mitzvah'd, and enjoys the occasional Matzah with horseradish:
The whole entire reason the ADL exists these days is to conflate Zionism with Judaism in an effort to make it more difficult to criticize Israel and it's genocidal actions. Doing so under their propagandized concept of what it means to be a Jew makes it so you can label anti Zionists as antisemites. Directly from the ADL website under the "ADL and Israel" section, they claim that distortions and activism that delegitimize Israel are antisemitic.
Every single day I went to hebrew school when I was brought up, Israel was shoved down our throats as this Jewish utopia that can do no wrong and only wants peace. But they don't tell us about the nakbah. They don't give any account of Palestinians living in the Lavant before 1948. They didn't teach us about ANY of Zionism's misgivings and just swept them under the rug. Then they parade you around Israel on a birthright trip to make you feel a deep connection between being Jewish and being in this place. They bring you to the literal border with Gaza to show you who your enemies are and stage some weak presentation in the west bank to show you how "peaceful" we are with Palestinians on the other side of a legit apartheid wall.
It took meeting real Palestinians with real life experience and comparing those stories to the actual video evidence you see of apartheid and genocide to absolutely lose any respect for Zionism and the entire project it is attempting to realize. If criticizing Zionism for genocide and Zionists for their lack of ability to open their fucking eyes to what they represent makes you antisemitic, then what am I? I grew up celebrating rosh hashanah, yom kippur, sukkot, hanukkah, purim, passover, the lot. Still do for some of these even in my 30s. I still feel a very cultural, ethnic, and believe it or not even sometimes spiritual connection with Judaism as it is a deep seated part of who I am. And Zionism makes me sick. Am I an antisemite? Watch all the comments that call me a self hating jew. Watch all these "no true scotsman" people try to delegitimize me and my experience as a Jew all because I don't support a genocidal ideology.
Fuck twitch and Dan Clancy for bending the knee to the ADL. Criticizing people who accept this conflation of concepts without using their own eyes and brains is fair and legitimate.
there we go again with conflating zionism and judaism. You're drawing a comparison between the term "islamist" and "zionist" implying that they are both strictly religious terms. "Zionist" means you believe israel has the right to exist as a jewish ethnostate, and a LOT of jews, myself included, do not agree with this.
@HWe35524897@hasanthehun This rule was specifically made because of pressure from the ADL, which is a strictly zionist organization that uses all their efforts to downplay genocide and aprtheid and label all those who criticize Israel as antisemites. The rule should be reversed.
