The argument, as I understand it, is that Israel is just a normal small country like any other small country, and any special focus on it suggests a sinister desire to single out Jews for discrimination.
But have you ever noticed how the same people who accuse Israel’s critics of “obsession” with a tiny insignificant country will also fall all over themselves to tell you that Israel is an indispensable ally whose interests are inextricably intertwined with the interests of western civilization?

The question that Nazis hoped that people would forget is ‘why are Nazis so hated?’ The answer is they wanted to do to Europe what the Zionists want to do to the Middle East. But Europeans were white (at least to us now) so it was seen as particularly evil.
Mussolini and the fascists in Italy were jokes. Imperial Japan was as evil as the Nazis but people forget that for some reason.
Israel is imperialism live and in color. If someone doesnt support the genocide Israel leads, they are automatically against the concept of the western world.
Exactly
Name another small normal country that’s simultaneously attacking like 6 of its neighbors.

You forgot the link to the article

Thanks! Again it’s there. Try clicking on the image? We’ve had this issue incessantly.
If I click the post it only redirects me to the image (opens this link: https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.kbin.earth%2Fcf%2F37%2Fcf3741727f054904a4757acdbed7c590452053abe2861c4d7ec8ecc0e2206e9a.jpg )
Hmm, I recall you? complaining about this issue before and finding the actual link. The link is in the proper field and displays for me via web interface. Perhaps mbin devs can look into it, if I can recall to post about it and have time after work.
@jwr1
I do recall this happening before so it might be an issue with the software. If it works on your side then it could be something between fediverse crossposting of Kbin and Lemmy possibly
Conflating the actions of the Israeli government with Jewish people as a whole sounds pretty antisemitic to me.
Edit: this is in reference to the Israeli government.
yes the zio-fascist shitraeli government is indeed very antisemitic.
Conflating themselves with and hiding behind their jewishness is all they do.can you quote where they do that?
Who, besides people on AIPAC’s payroll, is actually doing that? Go on, I’ll wait.
He’s saying AIPAC, the Israeli government and similar groups that hide behind the anti-Semitism defence are not acting in the interests of the Jewish people, and are therefore anti-Semites.
Can’t you get a free visa or citizenship there if you’re Jewish?
Conflating Israel and Jewish people is the most anti-semitic thing I’ve ever seen, God.
What is with you people bringing up all Jewish people whenever someone criticizes Israel? Do y’all not see how nazi-like y’all sound?
