Jews don't want this. Israelis do.
That should help antisemitism, with the right-wing being fully incapable distinguishing between Israeli and Jew.
Poster whose account tagline used to assert that believing Israel has a right to exist is anti-semitic and thinks Israel has no right to use force against any enemy group sworn to its destruction and extermination of its (or all) Jews expects others to think he cares about anti-semitism, news at... awwww ****whydoIbother.
Credibility of posts from a particular poster aside, yes I can absolutely see Israel doing things as giving those harboring anti-semitism another excuse.
Oh, now you speak for "Jews", do you? The guy who had the "zionism is anti-semitism" tagline?
Will it help with "morally superior" members of the left-wing who think that every last unfair and blindly one-sided attack they make on Israel is OK in all respects just as long as they remember to say "Israel" instead of "Jews"?
The obvious problem, of course, is that Israel’s “existence” isn’t in any danger. They are not being forced to slaughter Palestinian civilians and attack their neighbors; they are choosing to do so, no different than how their friends and allies in apartheid South Africa attacked Angola and Mozambique.Poster whose account tagline used to assert that believing Israel has a right to exist is anti-semitic and thinks Israel has no right to use force against any enemy group sworn to its destruction and extermination of its (or all) Jews expects others to think he cares about anti-semitism, news at... awwww ****whydoIbother.

You know, the people who think Israel has no right to use force against anyone, whether or not they are openly sworn to its destruction and extermination of all its Jews, and whether or not that sworn entity has spent its entire existence trying to accomplish just that both directly and through its proxies?
'Cause I gotta tell you, as an American Jew, the bulk of the right seems just as cynically indifferent to anti-semitism as the bulk of the left. The only real difference is that the far right includes out and out nazis.
Anti-semitism is the most poo-poo'd, least cared about "ism" there is. I don't expect the right to care because look at how much they care about other isms. But the left? The left tends to pride itself on standing up to "ism".
Unlesssss.......

The “Jewish state” seems intent on committing outright ethnic cleansing, if not genocide, against the Palestinians, and no amount of denial can change that.
Gee, the endless attempts to equate any sort of criticism of Israel to anti Semitism probably would have a lot to do with that perception
Initially skeptical of Zionism, Einstein came to support the idea of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, though he consistently opposed the establishment of a Jewish state with defined borders and military power. He believed that such a state would contradict the "essential nature of Judaism," which he saw as rooted in ethical and spiritual values rather than nationalism.
Einstein's support for Zionism was primarily based on his belief in the need for a cultural and intellectual center for Jews, especially in light of rising anti-Semitism in Europe. He was deeply moved by the plight of Jews in Europe and saw a Jewish homeland as a refuge and a place where Jewish culture could flourish. However, he was also concerned about the potential for conflict with the Arab population in Palestine and advocated for peaceful coexistence and cooperation between Jews and Arabs.
In 1948, Einstein, along with several other prominent Jewish intellectuals, signed a letter published in the New York Times condemning Menachem Begin and his Herut Party, which was closely associated with the Irgun, a militant Zionist group. The letter described Herut as "closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy, and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties". This comparison was not made lightly and reflected Einstein's deep concern about the direction that certain factions within the Zionist movement were taking. He feared that the use of violence and the adoption of nationalist ideologies would undermine the moral foundation of the Jewish people and lead to long-term conflict and suffering.
Einstein's opposition to the creation of a Jewish state was rooted in his pacifist and internationalist ideals. He believed that the establishment of a state would lead to militarism and nationalism, which he associated with the very forces that had persecuted Jews in Europe. In a 1946 letter, he wrote that he was in favor of Palestine being developed as a Jewish homeland but not as a separate state, advocating instead for a bi-national status with free immigration for Jews.
Antisemitism was already there.That's the unfortunate truth. Europe exported antisemitism to the Middle East. Atrocity after atrocity heaped on the neighbors of Israel and the indigenous people, under the banner of representing all Jews, eventually leads to bad sentiment against Jews in the region.
Who'd have thunk it.
The ‘final’ downfall of Israel was predicted by Einstein
It doesn’t take a genius to see that the failing Zionist project called Israel is coming apart at the seams. It was a genius, though, who predicted the demise of the fledgling state when he was ask…www.middleeastmonitor.com
Einstein On Israel And Zionism - Reviewed by Bruce Katz - Baraka Books
Book Review by Bruce Katz* In 2009, the late Fred Jerome** (1939-2020) published the first edition of his book, Einstein On Israel And Zionism. The book included a number of Einstein’s letters written in English, many of which reflected his views on both Israel and Zionism. Thanks to the support...www.barakabooks.com
Antisemitism was already there.
Which the likelihood of Iran doing is approximately zero.Finally, someone gets it. This war should absolutely NOT end in a ceasfire. It must end with Iran surrendering unconditionally.
Yawn. So what? Germany is too terrified of being compared to their ancestors to be anything other than totally sycophantic towards Israel.Germany’s Merz says Israel is doing the ‘dirty work for all of us’ by countering Iran

Where are the middle east countries backing Iran against Israel and American imperialism ? Where is Russia, China and North Korea? Truth is NOBODY wants Iran to have nukes. Sorry leftist are just trying to spin doing what's obviously right as anti Trump-Israel propaganda.
It won't. The Goldfish Presidency doesn't work that way. Plus, you really want Miller to have a freer hand?If we do end up going to war, I hope that takes the majority of Trump's focus.
I'm with Albert Einstein regarding Zionism.
Yes. In large amounts. The story of the grand mufti is only partially true. He didnt convince hitler to commit the holocaust though, that was already a foregone conclusion.Was it?
It won't end. Bibi played to win and it looks like he's going to get his chance to deliver Greater Israel. The most we can hope for, at this juncture, is that he has to relish it from a bunker he cannot leave.Yes. In large amounts. The story of the grand mufti is only partially true. He didnt convince hitler to commit the holocaust though, that was already a foregone conclusion.
What needs to end is the settler colonial project.

To be fair, Einstein's criticism - and other global Jewish leaders' - was of the party that has been dominant in the rogue state most of its history, later renamed Likud, rather than all Zionists as I understand.
