@johntinker it's impossible to reduce anti-Jewish sentiment. Full stop. It ebbs and flows like the tides and is a critical feature of western culture. One example of how it plays out is when total fuck knobs like you can't seem to figure out that we aren't the borg and think its appropriate to blame diaspora Jews for a country we aren't from.The implication is that we're not reall citizens of our countries. We're some kind of international collective of nefariousness. This is one of the core features of western anti-Jewishness and predates Israel by ~1500 years.I'm a 5th generation American (that predates Israel, the British mandate, the Balfour Declaration, and the first zionist congress by the way). This is an article about Europe. The only thing related to Israel here is in your conspiracy fever brain.So how about you take your weird collective guilt that you apparently only apply to Jews and shove it so far up your ass it stabs your eyeballs out?Sincerely,EatMyEntireKosherAss

@monkee@other.li My impression is that there is a huge discrepancy in how little support there is from the left with regard to Iran.In the conflict following the attack, or rather the pogrom, on 7 October, large sections of the international left were very quick to show solidarity with Gaza, but now I see not much solidarity at all with the protests and ppl there in Iran.In my bubble, we show solidarity with those who want to overthrow the terrorist regime in Iran. So it's not a bubble problem... it's a structural problem with large parts of a group we are somewhat feel connected to.@serge@babka.social

To defeat antisemitism we just need to get rid of the Jews! "There is [an]aspect of #Greenland worth noting, one unrelated to strategic value – it has virtually no #antisemitism. This places the island in remarkable isolation. Greenland stands as perhaps the only place in the #European sphere with essentially no history of anti-#Jewish sentiment.This is not the product of enlightened multicultural planning. Rather, it reflects the near-total absence of a Jewish community."https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-883192

"Here's what Maurice Cohen, chair of the #Jewish Representative Council, gets that a lot of us don't: #antiSemitism doesn't arrive with a #swastika armband and a manifesto. It seeps in through the gaps in our moral certainty. It sounds like a #Jordanian #doctor refusing to treat a #Jewish #woman in an #Irish hospital. It looks like #graffiti calling to '#KillJews' in #Dublin streets. It feels like a Jewish family being driven out of #Killorglin after five years because their neighbours decided being Jewish made them unwelcome.Now, I can already hear the protests - That's not anti-Semitism, that's legitimate highlighting of #Israeli policy. Except - and this is crucial - it's not. A Jewish woman in #Cork awaiting a #Csection didn't create #Netanyahu's coalition government. A family in Killorglin didn't vote for Israeli #settlements. A child in a Dublin playground didn't authorise any military action. They're just Jewish. And we're making them pay for that."https://www.westernpeople.ie/opinion/lets-not-abandon-irelands-beleaguered-jews_arid-81775.html

I recently had a conversation with an important leader in the Free Software movement about why I no longer feel safe there.When people who promote violence and spread antisemitic conspiracy theories are given "GNU" awards, there's a deep problem.https://mastodon.social/@gnuhealth/115765512523008189#FreeSoftware #Antisemitism #OpenSource #GNUHealth #GNU
