A user on lemmy.world/c/aboringdystopia stated that Jews should be ashamed of themselves for the actions of Israel.
I rhetorically responded “Why?” and reported the antisemitic comment.
Reporting them was deemed “Trolling” by the moderator, who believes there is nothing wrong with shaming all Jews for the actions of Israel because some Jews state they are ashamed of it themselves.
I explained the moderator why the comment was antisemitic. In a twist of events, they then permabanned me, deleted all my posts from the comunity and told me I would feel more at home at .ml.
The post is about Jews not Israel
Sure, I addressed that, although maybe I wasn’t clear. The point about wanting to remove diplomatic recognition of Israel is just an example.
In other ethnic/cultural groups, it is possible to be ashamed of a big element of your group that happens to be systematically evil. This is not discrimination or prejudice.
I really do think anti-Semitism is starting to lose its meaning.
Israel has destroyed the meaning of antisemtism. And the media has helped it by giving them a platform to do so. What is scary, is that actual antisemitism is starting to be seen as acceptable because the word has no meaning anymore.
Yes, the “boy who cried wolf” idiom comes to mind.
I can understand the German media (histrocial factora) and the US media (corruption with respect to Israeli interests), but why are media resources are so uncritical about alleged claims of anti-Semitism?
