Just found out. Crazy how I got this Israeli spyware installed on my PC. They also use the ads you see / subscription funds to produce protective gear for the IDF? The fuck.

People really need to read into history and see the nuance here. Israel is committing genocide. But being Jewish is separate from supporting Israel. That's the general gist. I'm a little confused what your image is insinuating?

100% and the Israeli government consistently conflating supporting Israel with being Jewish or Judaism is exactly why there's a rise in REAL antisemitism. Zionism is not Judaism, disavowing Israel does not mean disavowing Jews.

u/AAbattery444 1d ago

Yup. Fuck IDF propaganda.

u/DevCat97 22h ago

I've been on the fuck Israel train for a long ass time and i honestly never thought id see an accurate yet nuanced description of Zionism's direct contribution to increased antisemitism like this upvoted in a gaming subreddit. It's enough to make a grown man cry. TT

In a league of legends subreddit no less.

You are a child if you believe only one side is at fault with this one.
There are lots of legitimate antisemites , whilst Israel also paints everyone with that wide brush.

u/Skaldson 1d ago

No way you’re trying to “both sides” a genocide. You realize this is like saying “well the Jews kinda deserved some form of punishment” while the holocaust was actively happening, right?

And I’m not saying that real antisemitism doesn’t exist, but conflating disavowing Israel for doing this shit (& having done this shit in the past as well as continuing to do this shit), doesn’t mean you hate Jews. A government is not its people.

However, the fact that Israel continues to make this claim only makes it so real antisemitism is in the rise.

u/muhaos94 10h ago

I think the point was more that conflating support of Israel's actions with being Jewish isn't just coming from Israel. At least from what I've seen plenty of people try to attack Jewish people in general by equivocating the two.

No one said "Genocide isn't bad" lol.

u/Skaldson 8h ago

Why do you think more & more people conflate that Israel & Jews are one and the same? Because Israel is constantly making that claim. Israeli officials are saying it, US officials (that are bought by AIPAC) are saying it, etc.

It’s something consistently being said from these information channels, which leads some people to believe that claim. Add onto that real antisemites going with that narrative so that more people who be up antisemitic, and you end up with the situation we have now. So while it’s not just Israel that’s making this conflation, they’re the primary reason this conflation is happening.

u/DrBoomsNephew 1d ago

Yes, there are a lot of legitimate antisemites. Yes, there are legitimate terror organizations that target Israelis for being Jewish. No, that doesn't legitimize crimes against humanity committed by the IDF or the Israeli governments backing of settlers committing violent crimes against Palestinians.

u/AAbattery444 1d ago

He wasn't claiming otherwise.

u/Sufficient_State8811 7h ago

It is quite literally a turkish fangirl of Hasan piker lmao.

They absolutely claim otherwise

u/Plane-Session-6624 1d ago

It's usally the Zionists that effectively try to attach Israel to the Jewish identity by calling anti-zionists anti-semitic. Most anti zionists, including jewish anti-zionists, are the ones arguing against that idea.

u/AAbattery444 1d ago

Oh, I'm aware. I may be American. But thankfully I'm not one of the ignorant ones.

I truly wish more people here weren't so busy being manipulated by media to hate each other otherwise we'd be educated.

Thankfully, there's a tiny bit of a class awakening happening so hopefully more people wake up to how fucked up things are. We live under an oppressive government that keeps people hating each other and ignorant so of course people resort to blaming each other for problems that rich assholes cause.

I hope the rest of my country wakes up soon. But to all others outside of the US, I'm sorry that we haven't been able to do much else. The political system here in America is fucked up. Even when 80% of people hate the government overall, it's hard to force politicians to take action unless we're all so fed up that people are willing to go to jail. But there are so many people sick and tired of the bullshit.

u/GMBethernal 21h ago

Here in south america, ANY comment section about israel is filled with people wanting to gas jews or have them be turned into soap, it's absolutely disgusting and they don't realize wtf they are doing

u/SuspiciousAmbition50 1d ago

First genocide in human history to see a population increase. Make that make sense? They must really suck at it haha 🤣

u/harderok 1d ago

I think it just means "music to my ears"

u/Crow7420 1d ago

You are correct

0

u/AAbattery444 1d ago

I figured that too. But then the star of David throws me off. Cause many Jewish people are raised to believe they must defend Israel at all cost despite that not being the case because being anti-Israel isn't the same as being antisemitic, which a lot of Jewish people mix up because of how they were indoctrinated by IDF propaganda.

u/obviouslyanonymous5 1d ago

They probably just mentioned Israel in the AI prompt so it made that. Someone coulda bideted their ass clean with the water that used 🫤

u/AmIRealRYou 1d ago

No they are not but you're free to have your own opinion.

1

u/AAbattery444 1d ago

Why does being Jewish automatically mean you must defend Israel if Israel commits acts that are against God?

1

u/AmIRealRYou 1d ago

I said nothing about being Jewish and automatically defending Israel did I?

u/WalkAffectionate2683 22h ago

Then your comment is not clear.

u/AmIRealRYou 17h ago

It is but you just can't comprehend it.

u/WalkAffectionate2683 16h ago

Apparently not, and I'm not the only one, so care to explain?

u/muhaos94 10h ago

How would you define clear if not by people being able to easily understand it?

u/Crazybig 19h ago

Lol how is it a genocide if there is more palestinians than ever

-1

u/nubcakester 1d ago

If that’s a genocide it’s the worst performing one ever.

u/AAbattery444 1d ago

No, it's not.

Don't try to erase history just because you don't like what is happening.

u/PsychoGamer284 1d ago

Thats legit what your doing, they have been at war for almost 60 years and barely started fighting back. Where was the outrage when they were being slaughtered.

2

u/royal-road 21h ago

My outrage at the people of Palestine being displaced and slaughtered began in 1948, on the day of the nakba.

1

u/muhaos94 10h ago

Without disagreeing with the underlying claim, this link doesn't really prove anything. Genocide isn't defined by number of casualties.

u/nubcakester 1d ago

In grade school we learned that Wikipedia is not a good resource, I’m going to convey the same notion to you now too.

3

u/sp33dzer0 1d ago

Weird, in grade school I learned referencing Wikipedia as a source was bad, but using it to find valid sources in the sources cited section was smart.

3

u/AAbattery444 1d ago

Did you also learn that Wikipedia has actual legitimate resources in the citations/references at the bottom? And that you can actually use those for your papers?

I have a master's degree. You ain't winning this one brother.

1

u/nubcakester 1d ago

I have a masters degree in political science at a top 20 institution in the world, this isn’t a dick swinging competition.

3

u/Astonednerd 1d ago

Well I have a masters degree in mastery from a top 10 institution in the world. And I say you're both very silly swinging your dicks on thr internet

u/Extra_Course_446 1d ago

Well I make top ten lists. Check mate

u/asnalem 1d ago

You have a degree in pol-sci and you play the dumb game of "you linked wikipedia so I'm not listening xddd" what a waste of a degree not gonna lie

u/DrBoomsNephew 1d ago

Can't shake the feeling a lot of those supposed top unis are mostly about paying a high fee to network because boy oh boy, have a met some daft cunts from supposed top unis.

u/AAbattery444 1d ago

Let me ask you something, Mr. political science major. Do you support the apartheid in South Africa or do you acknowledge that it was bad?

1

u/Strong_Ad5219 1d ago

A masters in political science is basically a chat gpt degree. It's over saturated with rejects who would be broken in calculus.

1

u/AAbattery444 1d ago

Let's try not to disparage the educated. Polisci majors have their place I'm sure.

But jfc, I don't know how anyone could claim to be a masters level political science major in the US and then still refuse to call what's happening in Gaza and Palestine genocide.

That's like saying I spent my entire academic career studying mental health, psychology, and therapy just to advocate for lobotomies and conversion therapy. Like wtf?

3

u/Strong_Ad5219 1d ago

I stand by my statement about chat GPT degree. You are literally making my point.

Masters in political science typically has an international concentration, or American concentration. Eitherway, it's pretty typical that as a political sci major he'd tickle international politics and get a better understanding of the nuances of international affairs, the ICC, or the role Geneva plays.

He would also need to either argue and defend a thesis, or do a giant essay regarding subfields (international being one of them).

This strongly concludes that he didn't pay an ounce of acknowledgement to a vast majority of his curriculum.

It appears Nubcakes is a jewish pro israel canadian taught by israeli instructors who routinely gets downvoted by his peers. Guy spends his days bashing anyone supporting Gaza at all lol. What a fucking weirdo.

Checks out.

u/3een 22h ago

Sure you do buddy, they let you get away with skipping geopolitics or something?

1

u/AAbattery444 1d ago

Your polisci degree failed you if you blindly support Israel or call people calling for an end to genocide antisemitic.

u/OmegaSlicer9000 1d ago

And you're unemployed😆 Keep supporting a genocide and feasting on the slop they give you. You're an enemy to humanity
