(1,759 posts)I did not hear any slurs against the Jewish people, their state of Israel, or their religion. So I ask what makes this antisemitic?

(11,387 posts)is acceptable? Misunderstood? Simply propaganda against certain preferred class?
Are we in the business of defending atrocity at this point? Or shouting down those that would attempt to speak against such? I think we need a little more definition on just what position the 'protest' is supporting .. ?
Alpeduez21
(1,759 posts)But we definitely know theyre antisemitic. How do we know, as the OP has said, that the protester is antisemitic? In no way shape and or form do I suggest that atrocities are acceptable. Where have I done that?

(95,257 posts)The most glaring current example of sexual violence as a tool of war is the rape and torture and murder of Israeli women by the fanatic killers Hamas fields in its jihad to erase 'the Zionist entity'.
Complaint over public discussion of these crimes is denial either that they occurred, or that they amount to crimes in context of a 'liberation struggle', and this denial is pressed in conscious furtherance of the war Hamas wages against Israel and Jews.

(61,715 posts)I'm hearing rumblings from people involved in lefty groups on college campuses that protesters are going too far.
Some protesters are getting into altercations with facility staff, who are often people of color and the targets of unionizing efforts. It's a bad look when a bunch of 20-year olds get caught on video screaming at a janitor because he objected to their disruptive behavior that created extra work for his team.

(47,518 posts)I tried to warn people here about what was happening when it started.
But the tide was too powerful to turn.
So we have various progressive groups fighting each other tooth and nail.
Putin set the trap in the Mideast.
He specifically also tried to bait Biden with some very ugly tactics.
But thank god Biden was way too smart to fall for it.

(297,810 posts)Thank you and Thanks to Hillary for being there to talk about HAMAS' "Sexual Violence" which is an Understatement of what actually happened.

(1,865 posts)"It is important to note that the event was not focused on Hamas' atrocities on October 7.
The goal was discussing the use of sexual violence in many ongoing conflicts, from Ukraine and Sudan to the Democratic Republic of Congo."

question everything
(47,544 posts)And if you have not realized yet, that anti Israel is the same as antisemtisim perhaps you need to review the material from the last several years.
Also, to talk about the atrocities committed by Hamas in October 7 as part of "wartime sexual violence " shows either ignorance or wilful distorting the facts.
No other war had the attackers documented their decapitating a victim while raping her. And posting it on her Facebook account. Or cutting a breast, or shooting nails into a vagina.
And a lot more
And I dread to think of any hostage now in the second trimester of a pregnancy.

(25,687 posts)except for leftover disinformation and conspiracy theories they've heard.
According to them, this conference on sexual violence in conflicts around the world is a diabolical Hillary conspiracy to "justify the U.S.'s support of Israel" for her own "political gain." Think she's Satan and then yell at her to burn? Hey morons, Satan doesn't burn DUH.

(95,257 posts)It is my practice to give people the benefit of any doubt, right up to the point where it's obvious only an idiot would keep doing so for this asshole.
These pro-Hamas people (and we can dispense with the tired 'pro-Palestine' wheeze) are at the very least in open support of Anti-Semites who openly aspire to exterminate Jews in Israel and elsewhere, and seem to know no means of fighting save atrocious murder and systematic violation of international law.
