Israeli Eurovision star Noa Kirel says: 'To boycott Israel is antisemitism'
  • 291 points foldthecloth

    the word antisemitism has been so abused it's never going to be taken seriously as a human rights concern again and people are beginning to adopt it as a point of pride, which is genuinely scary watching the exponential rise of the groyper/antisemitic right in real time and literally not having a word to describe prejudice against us

    The conflation of antisemitism and antizionism is bad for the antizionist movement and simply dangerous for Jews.

    Agree.

    It is doubly as bad because theres simultaneously a genocide of Palestinians, and an increasing rejection of the entire concept of antisemitism

    I have been seeing a rise of antisemitic israel = all jews and “moustache man was right” style hateful rhetoric

    It’s so sad ngl

    That + zionists bending over backwards to literally control the media + federal government taking away people’s right to protest claiming to be working on our behalf = a whole lot of ugly that keeps me up at night

    It has already happened.

    When Ms. Rachel is in contention for antisemite of the year then you’ve destroyed the true meaning of it and the horrific actions of genuine antisemites. Antisemitism went from the destruction of the Jewish people only 85 years ago to don’t question the battlefield decisions made by IDF leadership in 2025. What the fuck!

    I agree with this fear on some level. Though it’s good that it’s no longer a label that completely cancels people once Zionists start throwing it around. It will allow real bigots to gather unchallenged as well. Hopefully once Zionists are soundly relegated to the political fringe, antisemitism will no longer be seen as a false accusation only thrown around for their political benefit. Although it will prlly never regain the privileged position it once held in the West as the worst type of bigotry.

    Don’t be ashamed. While Israel has a twisted and dark history dealing with us — we have never seen the Israelis with such hatred and violence.

    I finally gave up on watching Friends this year because I cannot stand David Schwimmer. Doubling down on the mass murder of women & children with a side of forced starvation is too fucking much. I’m not ashamed of being a fan of his work once upon a time though. It is what it is.

    The dangerous thing is that all this random name-calling is desensitizing the world to the weight of the word.

    If everything is antisemitic nothing is. We are getting to the point where people will be called antisemitic and won't even argue it, just accept it and reply something along the lines of "yeah, and?"

    The constant misuse of the term “antisemitism” by Zionists seems like a very deliberate strategy to discredit all accusations of antisemitism including extremely serious and valid cases where the term is appropriate.

    This feels like a concerted effort to build resentment against Jewish people, create hostility in the diaspora, and make joining the occupation the safest option. I worry for how many Jewish people will not even live to see that moment.

    This is so scary, tbh. I may not be Jewish but my husband is of Jewish descent, and I cannot bear the idea of someone hurting him for his mother’s religion.
