You're viewing part of a thread.
I didn't say they were. I merely asked the question... which I knew the answer to already.
Sure, not all Jews hate and kill Palestinians, but Palestinians are hated and killed by Jews.
Palestinians are hated and killed by non-Jews too, because it's not only Jews in the IDF and not only Jews are Israeli citizens.
So you are still making 'Jew' and 'Israeli' synonyms.
And some of us have been working very hard to make this war stop. People like you are not helping, bringing up Zelensky being Jewish as if that is relevant here. All you are doing is promoting the disgusting "dual loyalties" bigotry. I've faced it myself many times. Including on Lemmy. There are people here who are absolutely convinced I support Israel no matter what I say.
And I am sure there are people who are absolutely convinced I'm antisemitic (a term that gets thrown around way too often and has no relation to the actual true meaning of the term "Semite"). Personally, I don't care for anyone's primitive monotheistic religious beliefs, Jewish or otherwise.
Zelenskyy, in my opinion, is an American imperialist tool just like Netanyahu. Could you imagine America's response if the ball was on the other foot and unfriendly powers were encroaching on their borders? There's a reason that Ukraine isn't in NATO already. It's a fragile democracy at best and corrupt to the core at worst.
As for the IDF, I'd be interested to find out the percentage of Jews to non-Jews that serve, but given that 65% of the Jewish Israeli population oppose the criminal prosecution of soldiers suspected of gang-raping Palestinian prisoners held in torture facilities, I'm guessing the percentage is high.
Suggesting that Zelensky has dual loyalties because he's Jewish is a bigoted thing to say.
I’m guessing the percentage is high.
And yet not 100% as you implied earlier. Which, again, was bigoted.
Whether or not you think you're not antisemitic, what you said was bigoted.
If opposing the murder, rape, torture and genocide of an indigenous group of people makes me a bigot in your eyes then I guess it's guilty as charged. But once again you are reacting without understanding.
That is not what I said.

I don't know why you are lying about me, but this is tantamount to trolling.
This is what I said:

Are you going to respond to what I said or are you trolling?
I don't troll. Relax. It's hard to understand what you are trying to say. Zelenskyy's loyalties are pretty obvious. It's well documented if you care to do a bit of research... or at least google it if you're strapped for time. Look, the whole 'Jewish Voice For Peace' thing is cute 'n' all but I don't give a fuck about your beliefs or your religion. How about simply a 'Human Voice For Peace'? Is that too hard? Your religion is irrelevant to me. You care about it because it's a subsection of your religion that is committing genocide. You feel guilty because you follow that religion - I get it - and certainly it's not your fault. But what you believe religiously is between you and whatever illusion of a god you have created. Not of interest to me. I'd just like to see innocent people stop dying or being tortured, raped, brutalised or burnt alive. That's the important thing here. Not your guilt. Not your way of trying to justify your religion or defend it. It doesn't matter. Your beliefs don't matter. No-one fucking cares what you belief. What matters is people's lives, and every day that goes past, more and more lives are destroyed because a subsection of the Jewish community (albeit Zionists) think they are special, and god's chosen, and entitled to a piece of land that other people have been living on for thousands of years. Try to understand that it's not about you, but rather the little kid in Palestine, for example, whose entire family has been killed and is suffering from malnutrition (and probably doesn't have legs any longer) thanks to an abhorrant religious ideology that regard his people, family and friends as subhuman. Enough! Think about it just for a fucking second.
The fact that you are now conflating being Jewish as an ethnicity and Judaism a religion is proof enough to me that you're trolling.
For anyone else who is confused: I'm an atheist.
