People keep telling me that the UK has a lot of antisemitism, but they aren’t running the fucking show like they will be here apparently. Cannot wait to say good riddance to this fucking country.
the UK has a lot of antisemitism
That’s all because of a campaign run by a heavily right-wing paper, The Jewish Chronicle, and other rightwing press outlets such as the Telegraph and the Daily Mail, to smear Jeremy Corbyn when he was leader of the opposition. The claim was that the Labour party had large numbers of internal complaints of antisemitism that the party wasn’t investigating. What wasn’t mentioned was that one guy wrote over half of those complaints. And Corbyn wasn’t effective at perception management.
When Starmer came in, he pushed out anyone in the party who had ever uttered “Palestine” or “ethnic cleansing.” That shut down the smear campaign. and got rid of some leftists he could replace with centrists.
Meanwhile, the covertly antisemitic Conservatives and the sometimes openly antisemitic Reform Party get a relatively free ride in the press, unless some candidate gets caught denying the Shoah in public or mentioning the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.
That doesn’t surprise me. Regardless, I haven’t heard of any labour mouthpieces being openly antisemitic, but a hell of a lot of MAGA mouthpieces are.
“I hate Judaism but love Jews and wish them a very pleasant conversion to Christianity.”
This quote alone is fucking insane
As a Jew, it’s not even close to the first time I’ve heard such a sentiment.
I still cannot understand why these freaks are so incapable of just minding their own fucking business.
Because they are “saving your soul from eternal torment.”
They’re being nice and helpful, you ungrateful hell-bound heathen.
Since they’re incapable of happiness or wisdom, the next best thing for them is to make others suffer.
☹️ I had no idea it was that bad man, I’m sorry. Trampling on religious and spiritual freedom with those sorts of statements is so anti-human. And I’m pretty sure it’s explicitly stated to not do or say shit like that by their messiah.
It almost embarrasses me to talk about it (I have read a few books which have convinced me to anyway) because the bigotry I have encountered in my life pales in comparison to most people of colour. I am pretty unmistakeably Jewish by physical appearance, but I’m sure my skin being white has helped me out a lot more than my looking Jewish has hurt me. I have almost definitely not been mistreated by a cop because of my appearance.
But I do think it’s important to talk about it anyway.
Edit: I think the fact that people are downvoting every comment I make here speaks for itself.
