    YDM. I mean, you actually wrote this:

    You’re undermining to pro-Palestine movement by calling everything and everyone who opposes Israel antisemitic.

    … in response to a comment that not only was not “calling everything and everyone who opposes Israel antisemitic” (it says your characterization of Jews might be), but which actually says “I despise the Apartheid colonialist political ideology that is zionism”.

    You are undermining the pro-Palestine movement by equating zionism with jewishness, to the point that I am becoming increasingly skeptical about your actual motivations.

      No the commenter was doing what you are doing now: claiming that accurately describing reality that 80-90% of Jews are Zionists is antisemitic and that is s a dogwhistle against Jews because somehow I’m a Nazi for pointing out that synagogues are selling Palestinian land.

      In fact the original comment never mentioned the word Jew. They said religion. But OOP instantly went “whoa that’s antisemitic stop dogwhistling bro”.

      I’ve linked the article above already. Please read it before responding https://lemmy.ml/post/46790185/25489292. Loading your comment with “I am becoming increasingly skeptical about your actual motivations” is straight out of the Labour campaign against Jeremy Corbyn.

        It’s closer to 64% https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2026/04/07/negative-views-of-israel-netanyahu-continue-to-rise-among-americans-especially-young-people/

        Ironically evangelicals are now more favorable of the ethnostate of Israel than the supposed benefactors. “Supposed” because it’s trivial to see Jewish folk are not made safer by the existence of Israel.

        Still, this supposes that a majority opinion gives carte blanche to antisemitic dog whistles about supposed dual loyalty, etc. It’s shameful to lump in some folks who are vehemently opposed to the genocide as willing participants. The polling mostly has just shown that people who get their news from zionist networks tend to be more zionist, but even then over time that dam is breaking. Unfortunately the media environment and powers that be provide an outsized influence compared to reality on the ground in a place the people polled don’t live.
