65dBnoiseNo, you are not 'antisemitic' if you don't agree with what the right wing warmongering Israeli government is doing in #Gaza. Nor are you pro-Hamas if you care about Palestinians not being treated like subhuman and killed by the thousands. Nor are you anti-American if you don't agree with the hypocrisy of the US government's double speak. You are simply using your judgement to see through the enormous propaganda machine and trying to think like a human of the 21st century.
Richard@65dBnoise Have you been accused of antisemitism? If so, please link to the actual conversation so we can see if you said something horrible that you are asking us to blindly accept your defense of, or whether we can join your public indignation over having been falsely accused.
I have seen too many contextless claims like this from people who are called out on actual antisemitism (e.g. "JEWS OWN THE MEDIA AND CONGRESS!") and get huffy about it. So supply context, please.
@richard_merren
LOL! My "defense"! What a distorted view of the world! Who are the "we" you seem to feel representing and be a judge for? Nobody asked you to accept anything, I'm not apologizing; I'm expressing an opinion.
I'm fed up with people asking others to prove they are not antisemites (note: not anti-racists) and with their manichaeistic view of the world. Reminds me of the good old days of McArthyism.
But in spite of that, I believe your question is genuine, so here is my reply:
1/2
@richard_merren
No, I have not been accused of antisemitism. Ever. I am not an antisemite; quite the opposite. Not anti-Israel, either. I'm just fed up with the hypocrisy and propaganda, as if people were incapable of using their brains or feel human, and ought to blindly follow propagandists.
Hope this is to your (plural) satisfaction (#Sarcasm intended as humor)
@65dBnoise So you are fed up with accusations of antisemitism yet you have never been accused of it. Got it.
@65dBnoise @Jeffrey_Smith with the cowardly "respond with a catty remark and block".
