   https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=ISDESTjH11I

   Hey, asshole, listen up:

   Fuck israel.
   Fuck the usa.
   And fuck you.

   You can take your visa and stick it up your ass. I’m very happy not to visit your shithole country ever again.

   🇵🇸 Free Palestine!

     @PatternChaser Equating opposition to genocide to antisemitism is antisemitism as what you’re stating is that all Jews are pro-genocide.

     @aral Israel critics are sometimes also pursued here, on Mastodon, by extremists of the opposite opinion. They will report your post, and seek to tarnish you with the awful lie that is "anti-Semitic". On one side, there is the nation-state of Israel, and on the other, the Holocaust. By accusing you of criticising Israel, they also seek to call you a Holocaust supporter or denier, or one of those terrible perverts who think there's *anything* OK about the Holocaust. 😭 😱

     @aral I would never do such a thing. Please read carefully what was written.

     I complained of the 'equation' between the Holocaust and criticism of the political nation-state of Israel. There is no such equation. 😢

     I have total respect for Jews, Moslems, Christians, and *ALL* faiths. ☯

     And I oppose all extremists. 👍

     @PatternChaser My note was about the people who you reported as doing just that.

     @PatternChaser Yep. It’s an unconscionable conflation.

     @aral Sorry, I think I had problems untangling your words.

     But the equation of discrimination against Jews (always wrong) with criticising the political nation-state of Israel ... just makes me Very Angry. One is (rightly) a crime, the other is legitimate political comment.

     But the awful "a-s" word combines the two as though they are the same thing. This means that, if I criticise Israel, they say "a-s!", and tar me with the brush of Holocaust support, or something equally vile. 😭
