[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD
Posting guidelines for Politics and Soci...
These are our baselines. We're not reinventing the wheel here. If you aren't sure if something is acceptable to post, its better to ask first. If you think someone is posting something that violates the above guidelines, please report it or PM me rather than responding in kind.
To reiterate some of the points:
1. No personal attacks. This is a broad instruction, but, in general, we want to focus on attacking an argument rather than the poster making it. It is fine to say a post is antisemitic; it is not okay to call someone an antisemite over and over. If you believe someone is making antisemitic posts, report them or PM me. The same goes for calling people "baby killers" and "genocide lovers". You are allowed to argue that an action supports genocide or that the consequences of certain policies results in the death of children, but we are no longer going to be speaking to one another's intentions. It is not productive to the conversation and doesn't further any debate.
2. Racist posts and other bigoted statements that target a particular group or individuals of such groups with derogatory comments are not allowed. This should not need further explanation.
3. Graphic Images need to be in spoilers with a trigger warning.
4. Wishing Harm on other posters will result in an immediate timeout.
5. Genocidal statements such as "Kill 'em all" etc, are no longer permissible in the thread.
If anyone has any questions about the above, please PM me. I don't want a discussion about the rules to derail the content of this thread. If anything needs clarifying, I will do that in this thread.

Maybe, just maybe, "Israel should be wiped from the planet" as your nation's tenet isn't the best way to go, looking at you too Iran
Yes what they're doing is stomach churning and gross af, but they're biblical bros, God's chosen bunch, so they're just smiting as is written.
And for all you saying "what about all the other genocides (Africa)" those aren't being jammed down everyone's throats 24/7, so either learn how marketing/propeganda works or stfu with that

I guess this is pro-Israel, but is pretty much just calling Israelis a bunch of backwards religious fanatics. Any of the Israel war hawks in this thread going to +1 this and "**** yeah, smite their asses Hashem!"?
Israel is an extension of the USA. dont believe the twitter hype about who is pulling the strings.
i mean you have to be a raving lunatic to willingly go live in a barren desert next door to about a hundred million people who consider it their number one godly duty to drive you into the sea

Idk man, Isreal seems like a potentially amazing neighbor. Smart people, great food, booming economy, super hot chicks. It's almost like driving for their demise is a lose lose situation
Ahh, they want more genocide. Sad.
Where is there any evidence that Biden is losing the Jewish vote? Can't find any polls.
I expect he will still do well among Jews, but will lose some Jews because of too many bombs sent to Israel and some other Jews because he said things about Israel killing too many people.
Lots of Jews at both kinds of protests/rallies in the USA.

I don't know where you're getting your information, but it is not correct.

In Canada we are seeing the same. Tidal wave of switch from left to right.
It's all I hear about in the community. The flippening.
PP is going whole hog to the opposite of Trudeau over here: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/pierre-...
Strategically in the Jewish community, the understanding is obvious. The antisemitism on the right is mostly just mouth breathers of very little danger to Jews. The antisemitism on the left though, comes from powerful educated influential people. So when forced to choose, easy choice.
That Trump and PP project to win must be of some comfort to Israel.
I googled polls for Jews and the last general poll said they were sticking with Biden. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/43...
You're poll I guess says different in that sample.
The front lines of the ceasefire protests are full of Jews too. It's polarizing to some extent.

As a gentile who knows actual anti semites, be wary on the right as well.
Yes the left is so obscenely anti semite these days, blatantly so, genocidal even (in refusing to admit the survival of Jews in Israel requires terrorists to be killed) that you could minimize the deep hatred of Jews on the right.
But there are plenty of people on the right as well who look at Israel v Gaza as we look at south American crime gangs killing each other. They despise both people and just hope they mutually genocide themselves

It's simply too small a (vocal) minority to matter much

I don't doubt that they're dangerous on the right. But I think it would take 2 decades from them to get anywhere close to being the issue the left is presently for Jews.
How have leftists hurt Jews in North America? I got the one case of a pushing fight in LA where someone fell and hit their head. Compare that to the right and Pittsburgh.

This really tells me everything about the social circles you frequent and the media you consume. I'm not casting any judgement here, it's just extremely telling.
It's not just that I don't have the stamina to explain this to you. It's that I doubt I would get there even if I tried. Let's just leave it, and check in with each other on this point every few years.

I consume the media in this thread and I've seen the counts of antisemitic incidents and the posters of hostages ripped down. But show me leftists killing Jews. And Jihadis are right wing bro.
Dude who murdered 11 people in the Pittsburgh synagogue
"HIAS [Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society] likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I'm going in."
Jews will not replace us? Sound familiar?

I mentioned the fight that happened in LA. Just show me another incident of someone on the left murdering Jews in North America.

This Christian Identitarian might not get listed in antisemitic attacks because when he went to a JCC and a temple to shoot people the 3 that he killed weren't Jewish.
