The Hate Crimes Task Force of the New York Police Department is investigating several reports of antisemitic vandalism at the homes of Jewish board members of the Brooklyn Museum – including its director, a New York City law enforcement official told CNN Wednesday.
throwing paint and writing slogans on the homes of Jews is antisemitism
This is a very, very dangerous idea to perpetuate. Saying any act of protest against Jewish people, whether or not it’s related to their religion or heritage, is antisemitic means we cannot criticize Jewish people for valid reasons unrelated to their religion or heritage. Misguided or not, it does not seem that these protestors were attacking them because they are Jewish but rather because they are Zionist and just happen to be Jewish. A natural extension of this idea is that protesting the rampant fraud from previous Netanyahu terms would make me antisemitic which is patently false.
To quote you, I’m not sure we read the same article if you think the homes were vandalized because the occupants are Jewish.
This whole conversation is super fraught with nuance.
I think that’s a fantastic description of the Israeli colonizers!
Edit: very important to note that not all Jews are Israeli, not all Israelis are Jews or colonizers, and not all Palestinians are Muslim or Hamas.
Edit edit: it’s kinda fucking stupid that I have to pull a “not all…” because that’s really fucking dumb with any discourse. It shows just how loaded this conversation is and how difficult it is to call out the problem, Zionist colonizers, without being misinterpreted eg assumed antisemitism
Then direct your criticisms at colonizers, and not all Jewish people.
Judge people for the content of their individual character not their race/ethnicity. Not every Jew is a Zionist, or even religious for that matter. They aren’t a monolith that you get to stereotype to fit your narrative.
And if you have criticisms of Judaism as a religion, make sure you’re not misattributing these criticisms against the broader ethnically Jewish community.

You can criticize Israel all you want, but if you have beef with an entire ethnic group, you’re a fucking Nazi.

You very clearly did not process either one of my comments. Have fun with that!
