The meme is broadly generalizing Israel as a homogenic society that casually murders children on a regular basis and omits that Israel is in fact a diverse society. By doing so it reproduces the ancient antisemitic trope of ritual child murder and blood libel. Neo-Nazis and other racist antisemites would therefore love this meme. From an antifascist perspective this meme is absolutely unacceptable.
Yes the "Jewish state" is a diverse society. Where the the first class citizens are all "good jews" recognized by the state. Any lesser Jews or god forbid Arab peoples are second class citizens.
Imagine being this fragile of a person. Log off now lmao.
I condemn the racist politics of the right-extremist government of Israel and the social segregation and severe injustice it causes. What is your point?
There was this thing you all constantly choose to ignore, called the holocaust, that afaik not just a lot of antifascists see as a reason why Israel must exist, simply because otherwise the Jews will not survive capitalism.
But I´m having so much fun with you guys here?!
the vast majority of jewish people in eastern europe post-war didn't migrate to either the autonomous oblast the USSR set up or Israel and chose instead to live in the eastern bloc or USSR proper, so they probably count as 'a lot of antifascists' that don't see a reason for Israel's existence
I wrote a lot, not all, so there is no contradiction.
