    Have you considered perhaps the view of Zionists considering themselves as the only true representatives of their ethnicity?

      Congratulations, you’ve broken my brain with this rationalization of antisemitism.

      ‘They consider themselves the only ‘real’ jews, so by being antisemitic i’m really just being anti-zionist’

        Have you considered perhaps the view that you might be an idiot? I do, and I accept that I lack understanding and that my knowledge is incomplete. You should try and do the same. It helps.

        Back on the topic. If Zionists consider themselves as the only true representatives of their ethnicity and thus separate themselves from the rest of their ethnicity, when someone else depicts that view, it is automatically anti-Semitic?

        So when Nazis separated themselves from the rest of the populace, only accepted the Aryan race as supreme and started genociding those they considered inferior, people who depicted them as such were actually anti-germanic.

        I hope your brain doesn’t hurt now that it’s broken.

          Lol, you’re really doubling down on this? By your logic, does depicting a jew with a hooked nose classify as antisemitic? Since they say they’re the ‘true jews’, are any of the classic jewish stereotypes fair game?

          The problem with their use isn’t that you’re projecting a classification on them, it’s that you’re tying their differentiating characteristics to the terrible thing they’ve done. You’re making it (to varying degrees) about what makes them jewish, not the terrible thing they’re doing.

          I’ve heard a lot of rationalizations of racism before, but “i’m actually doing activism” is a new one.

            Who’s talking about noses? This was about a manner of speech.

                But the manner of speech in this case can be seen as a form of snobbish elitism that differentiates from the regular citizen.

                    All these different hills we have, yet somehow we all think ours is better.

                    Enjoy your hill, random internet stranger.
