      So beating Jews is antisemitism. Firing rockets at them is not. Gotcha!

        Beating Jews and firing rockets at Jews for the reason of them being Jewish is antisemitic. Despite Hamas absolutely being antisemitic, launching rockets at an occupying state killing your people is not. Americans criticizing their government for giving money to a foreign etnostate attempting genocide, also not antisemitic.

        Hope that cleared things up fascist!

            let’s not pretend Hamas isn’t deeply antisemitic

            ??? They did aknoweldge that, and then expanded saying that the rockets were launched against an invasive nation, them being Jewish is kind of besides the point. If another Muslim country was being as invasive as Israel I’m sure that the rockets would have been sent the same way, regardless of religious belief.

              Yeah I somehow read their entire comment except for that part, that’s why I deleted my comment on rereading theirs. How come it isn’t fully deleted, and you see its content after I deleted it?

                Oh, sorry, I’ll just strike through everything then.

                About why I can see it, maybe the delete command took some time to get federated, idk. I swear I didn’t try to get the deleted info and then answer you on it, that would be dumb haha.

    Cool. Now I know my life is in danger if I go to Greece because I look very stereotypically Jewish. They didn’t exactly stop to ask the guy what his opinion was on the Gaza genocide.

      Yeah I think this is very troubling and counterproductive. The article says the guy was recently discharged from the IDF. Which for a Palestinian is weird because they don’t have to join the army, so I’m assuming he’s a Zionist. That being said, a Jew would get killed for being Jewish by these people and an Arab could apparently get away with being a Zionist. So this whole thing is just pointless violence/antisemitism.

        There are “Arab Israelis” as well. Basically Palestinians who weren’t driven out and are now citizens or the descendants of those Palestinians. They have to serve in the IDF regardless of their politics (which, as you can imagine, aren’t very sympathetic toward Israel). They also prefer to be called Palestinian Citizens of Israel, but the media usually calls them Arab Israelis or Israeli Arabs to differentiate them from the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

          Yeah I know that there are many of those, but as another poster mentioned except the Druze and some beduins Palestinians with an Israeli passport mostly don’t serve in the IDF.

        If everyone has to do national service in the IDF, you can’t really assume a person’s politics from that fact.

          As I said he is Palestinian and Palestinians except for a few groups don’t have to serve in the army and most of them do not consider themselves Israeli and have no interest in serving the interests of their colonizer.

      Not that this attack was justified, it definitely wasn’t, but I’m honestly curious what his opinion is on Gaza since he was clearly in the IDF as the article says.

          Why I’m curious? Because he was in the IDF, and I have a very bad opinion of people that are part of the occupation forces. I don’t have any sympathy for him, even if I don’t agree with the attack in itself. I won’t lose any sleep over a genocidal soldier getting his ass kicked.

            ”Before I decide how upset to be about this assault against someone because of their nationality, I need to know if they were one of the bad ones or not."

              Yeah. First and foremost, I won’t shed a tear over a genocidal maniac, nor over a nazi, nor over any other kind of horrible person. I think that’s fairly normal human behaviour. Secondly, the article says he was in the IDF, which I clearly commented on (I didn’t comment on his nationality). I can still condemn the attack as baseless. You’re welcome.
