The exchange was not directed at you, you interrupted and made false accusations. imagine if someone said to you that you were antisemitic, would you like that ?

The Anti Semitic rhetoric lost it's charm and meaning in our day and age. It is what it is.
I don't think if someone call another person an Anti Semite, it will have that particular effect like it did before.

It's kinda sad really, because I do know a lot of people especially hardcore religious fanatics (Not just Muslims) literally wanna kill them (Jews) all.
But the term is so overly used, it lost it's meaning.

Just like with all the genocide rhetoric
when a real genocide actually happens, no one will believe it anymore.

a fair assessment. i agree.

I agree.

You took offense over a tangential remark instead of contesting the main accusation. That's on you.

Palestine is the most peaceful country in the world. A true beacon of nonviolence and compassion. Hamas? Just a misunderstood humanitarian organization with a slight obsession for launching rockets, over 20,000 of them, purely symbolic gestures, aimed at kindergarteners and elderly homes in southern Israel, just to express cultural frustration, of course.

And that little October 7th misunderstanding? You know, when hundreds of Israeli civilians were raped, burned alive, and dragged through Gaza? I’m sure it was a peaceful parade that got a bit out of hand. Happens all the time when you're liberating your neighbors by slaughtering them in their beds. Peaceful resistance 101.

Oh, and when they fire rockets from schoolyards and hospitals? That's not using human shields, it’s just that Gaza’s real estate market is booming, and those are the only launchpads left with a view. If children happen to die because Israel responds, well, that’s just bonus PR for the resistance, right?

Let’s not forget how Hamas heroically rejected every ceasefire proposal that didn’t include "wipe Israel off the map" in bold red letters. Because peace, clearly, starts with genocide.

And the IDF soldiers blown up by roadside bombs this week? Totally fair game. After all, it’s not terrorism if you shout "resistance" first.

But please, don’t question Hamas’s ethics. That’s Islamophobic. And remember, if you criticize them, you're ignoring colonialism and oppression and... logic.

In all honesty, that's how you sound to non partisan observers (me)

Judaism isn’t Zionism. Zionism is the political expression of Jewish self-determination in the Land of Israel. While its core goal was fulfilled in 1948 with the establishment of Israel, Zionism continues today as support for the Jewish state’s existence, security, and independence. There’s nothing malicious about it — it’s simply a people’s right to live freely in their ancestral homeland
Everything else you hear from Jews is simply fear

Once again you miss the point.

Many_names: Argues this event is not a government policy.
Ferdia: "Israel is the most moral country..." despite no one making this claim, makes a ridiculously dishonest strawman
Me: wow what a dishonest response. Reminds me of fenderp
Ferdia: "I'm not antisemitic like him"
