Why is xenophobia towards Israel so acceptable? Some girl online claimed numerous ICE agents were former IDF. Confirmed by whom?? Then the first comment said bomb Israel and she liked it. Imagine saying that about any other country and acting like it’s ok

I’ve seen people unironically say the same about the nypd. There is a coordinated effort to other and dehumanize Israelis as some kind of boogyman. It’s disappointing to see how easily people fall into bigotry.

The reality is because the political party who take it upon themselves to take a stand to certain things (ie xenophobia, racism) are explicitly hypocritical. Consistently. “These things are bad until I don’t like something. Then it’s okay”

the other day i saw an IG post about how J Edgar Hoover may have been mixed race and how wild it was that he was so vicious to Black people when he was one and all the comments were really interesting about race, racism, psychology, history etc and then one guy was like “he did it because he was compromised by israel”

There was a very similar attitude towards Russians a few years ago after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and they aren’t part of a group who has faced the kind of historical marginalization nor association with conspiracies that Jews have, so it doesn’t really surprise me

If it’s warped as social justice then somehow it’s okay. Even if it’s xenophobic, antisemitic, and discriminatory

People find American politicians or groups that they don’t like and find a way to tie Israelis or Israeli orgs to them. Even if it isn’t true.

The same method has been used in recent years to call people Nazis and Fascist. Now that it’s evident it’s effective they can use it on the Jews. I’d hope every single one of us acknowledges this fallacy and chooses to be better than them in this regard

They’ll call any conservative they don’t like Nazis. It’s a Holocaust comparison and is antisemitic. Ironically enough they never call antisemitic people nazis.

I mean that could be said for a lot of people supportive of Israel in the US too, where they have a blind spot for Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism. Like, did you say the insane stuff Senator Gillibrand said about Mamdani? Genuinely unsettling seeing that kind of rhetoric from a sitting senator in the Democratic Party

It’s not mutually exclusive to the target, I was moreso pointing out the culprit. What you said is just another example of what I was saying. Intolerance in the name of tolerance

It is very prominent for people of all political persuasions to call anyone they don’t like a Nazi, including people like the AfD in Germany who are both openly pro-Nazi and still compared Merkel to Hitler derogatorily

I don’t know if I’d say it’s in the name of tolerance, I think she’d just Islamophobic

I think that's very narrow minded and dismissive of the reasons why people say the things they do. Someone doesn't just saying something Islamaphobic or antisemitic because they're an Islamaphobe or antisemite, there's generally a belief they have that leads them to that conclusion. And my point is their own hypocrisy leads them there
