Saying the IDF are murderers is not antisemitism it’s the truth. Equating the IDF with all Jews is antisemitism. So who’s the antisemite here?
“UK’s chief rabbi is a mouthpiece for fascistic genocidal regime”
By this logic the rabbi seems to be saying something horribly antisemitic doesn’t he? Because if all Jews are represented by the IDF, and the IDF murders children with Glee, isn’t that saying that all Jews are baby killers? Cuz that’s something I’ve heard antisemitic people say before. Now I guess it includes this rabbi.
Saying antizionism=antisemitism is saying genocide is a core part of Judaism. and I don’t think you can say anything more antisemitic
Imagine the Pope, saying that calling for the death of paedophile priests was a call for the death of all Christians.
It’s pretty fucking gross that the media is making the folks literally shooting live ammo at refugees as the victim.
They do what their boss tells them to do, are fired, or they resign.
All the respected journalists already resigned.
“The boss” is a billionaire, because billionaires own all mass media. They dictate what you do and do not see, and what side is given more or less support.
It has been this way in the past, it got a little better, now it’s completely out of control. If you let billionaire nazis have full control of your press, you’re going to have a completely nazi press.
The pope would never call for the death of pedophiles.
„Death penalty for pedophiles“ is a common slogan used by neonazis.
Pedophiles need psychological treatment or prison if they are a danger.
It’s also a dogwhistle since Nazis call anyone they don’t like a pédophilie (while they themselves love diddling kids)
Yes, it’s usually followed up by death for LGBT.
I was about to build a whole hypothetical analogy out of Vatican City and the Piazza San Pietro, but I couldn’t be arsed.
It’s great seeing Bob Vylan start to get controversies under their belt. They’ve earned it! If you want tracks to listen to, England’s Ending, Take That, and We Live Here are all bangers
So he is equating the IDF, a genocidal gorganization, priding itself in executing medics, sniping children and starving millions of people while baiting some of them with the promise of food into a kill zone, with Judaism and Jews in general.
That sounds like an extreme version of the blood libel to me.
Pretty sure it meets their strange definition of antisemitism.
Even the semites are antisemites.
People use religions to commit hate, murder, and genocide. Both islam and judiaism do this regularly. All other religions do as well.
Not all religious people are extremists, but they do support extremist hate religions.
“But I don’t support the hate parts of my religion that are clearly printed in my holy hate book”. Yeah, right. Fuck religions and those that support them.
What a load of bigoted bullshit.
There is about 2 billion Christians in the world and 1.8 billion Muslims. If they were to “support extremist hate” like you describe it, we would be at a global war that would dwarf any war before it.
Meanwhile people who are outspoken Anti-theists, often support the most vile supremacism, combining their belief of intellectual supremacism with beliefs of racial, cultural, ableist or other ideas of supremacism and subsequently justify bigoted violence including genocide. This also holds true for Zionism that for its longest time was a secular movement that faced heavy criticism by religious Jews and took a long time to create its warped understanding of Judaism in service of its imperialist ideology.
Of course it is convenient to blame imperialist violence on religion so as to distract from the imperialist and racist violence in your own ideology. This is also why some of the staunchest anti-theists are big supporters of US Fascism under Trump, willing to work together with the Evangelicals as the main goal is Fascism.
Okay Jesus Christ dude you didn’t have to just do the same fallacies in the other direction… What edgy atheist hurt you?
Unlike the comment i replied to, i do distinguish between the people who are aggressive about their anti-theism and atheists/anti-theists in general.
Blaming the violence that resulted from centuries of colonial oppression and the resistance against it on religion is a pretty tired trope that is intellectually lazy and deeply ingrained in overt and subtle beliefs of Supremacism in “Liberal” countries.
There is no doubt that the majority of Jews, Christians, Muslims and people of other faiths are just normal people, not holding more hate and not being more prone to violence than other communities. Calling them all " do support extremist hate religions" or referring to scriptures as “holy hate book” is lacking any differentiation.
Anti-theists, often support the most vile supremacism
Wrong. Meanwhile “Yahweh was an ancient Semitic deity of weather and war”. The flaws we see in others are often the flaws we see in ourselves.
It wasn’t though, was it. The IDF are not Jews in general; they are multi-ethnic and are the armed forces of a country at war. Would a chant of “death to the Russian Armed Forces” be Russophobic? “Death to the Wehrmacht” for anti-German during World War 2? “Death to Hamas” for Islamophobia?
Identification of the armed forces of a state with a state is a sign of fascism, and the identification of the state with an ethnic group is a sign of extreme nationalism - though admittedly that is less the case with Israel and Jewish people.
Chanting “death, death to the IDF” is violent and inappropriate at a music festival. “Fuck the IDF” would’ve been fine though.
“death to hamas” is often considered to be Islamophobic here which just shows how irrational and stupid everything about this conflict is.
The UK needs a new chief rabbi. Justifying sucking Bibi’s cock with Zionism isn’t a legitimate religion.
The UK needs no chief rabbi. Why does the UK have a chief rabbi?
This is like having the President of a sports association or any other community tbh.
Most organized religions have a heirarchical structure based around regions. This is the norm.
Every cult needs a leader. Without a cult leader, people just make up their own religious bullshit. With a cult leader, the religious bullshit is still completely incoherent, but only coming from one source.
They should be held completely responsible for their religious lies.
Which religion? All of them. Fuck religions and those that support them.
All religions, or just officially recognized ones?
Because there’s plenty of modern religions out there that claim to be anti-religion. Groupthink hiding behind ideologies that are fine in and of themselves, but twisted to keep people in line.
The problem isn’t religion; it’s people.
The same reason it needs an Archbishop of Westminster, who is in charge of catholicism in england & wales.

Don’t need that one either but it’s there.
Streisand Effect yet again. Never knew of Bob Vylan before. Funny that all the protestations to his very clear message have only spread it further. Truth will not be silent.
This is the same guy who convicted a Viner for teaching his gf’s dog to sieg heil, right?
But they complained about liberal media…am I to believe it was all a lie‽
Is Bob Vylan’s name intentionally based on Bob Dylan and meant to rhyme with it?
Not long ago people would chant for peace at Glastonbury. Now they demand more death, destruction, and war.
Yeah, the religions are ramping up their hate speech. So what do you do? Let them keep at it until there’s blood in the streets?
Nope. You arrest the priests inciting religious terror.
It’s that simple. Stop protecting people inciting religious hatred openly because they’re part of this or that religion.
Fuck religions are those that support them.
The IDF is a terrorist organization, not a religion. Not that being a religion would make them exempt. Hope this helps!
