#philosemitism — Public Fediverse posts

• #Antisemitism must be vigorously challenged as a pillar of Eurocentric white supremacy.
• #Zionism is a specific political ideology and form of ethnonationalism that drove the establishment of the state of Israel and maintains the illegal occupation of Palestine.

"The primary goal of the IHRA definition is not to fight antisemitism or to protect Jewish communities from racist attacks, predominantly carried out by white supremacists; it is a mechanism to suppress advocacy for Palestinian rights. Of the definition’s 11 examples, seven deem criticism of Israel or Zionism to be antisemitic."

Harsha Walia wrote an excellent primer on deliberate #conflation: https://monitormag.ca/articles/colonialism-racism-and-the-ihra/ via @KarenWyld

Deborah Feldman: “Germans tend to cut off any attempt at constructive conversation with the much-favoured phrase that topic is much too complicated.
[…] Non-affiliated voices are often silenced or discredited, replaced by the louder ones of Germans whose Holocaust-guilt complexes cause them to fetishise Jewishness to the point of obsessive-compulsive embodiment.”

"@germany cuts funding to Egyptian women’s rights organization for criticizing Israel"
Lawyer Azza Soliman, chair of the Centre for Egyptian Women’s Legal Assistance (CEWLA), added that the country is attempting to whitewash its shameful history toward Jewish people by turning a blind eye to Palestinian suffering.

As Rita Jabri Markwell put it:
• trauma is a genuine wound;
• fragility serves as an exercise of power over oppressed peoples.
In the Zionist case, fragility depends on genuine wounds (collective Jewish historical trauma) to leverage its power and silence dissenters.

Nicole Narea, "a first-generation American", wrote: All three [university] presidents refused to say that students should be punished for invoking those [hateful] phrases across the board — only when it rises to the level of harassment, discrimination, or incitement to violence.

“I have little doubt that if student activists actually were issuing unequivocal calls for the genocide of Jews on university campuses, they would be swiftly disciplined by their administrations — and rightly so,” Berkman said. “This should have been an easy question for Magill, Kornbluth, and Gay to answer, but because they felt they couldn’t contest the description of pro-Palestinian rhetoric as inherently genocidal, despite knowing that description to be untrue, they ended up looking foolish.”

Internal discord at elite institutions and bipartisan doubt about the sanctity of higher education was the outcome that Stefanik and her Republican colleagues wanted — but not because they’re any great defenders of Jews.

#Stefanik has echoed the antisemitic “great replacement” theory that Jews have pushed immigration and multiculturalism as a means of amassing political power over white Americans: In a 2021 campaign ad, she railed against what she characterized as Democrats’ plan to “overthrow our current electorate” by allowing undocumented immigrants to enter the country, leading to accusations of antisemitism.
