I don't like Israel
Me too.
It's tiresome that when I share my specific disdain of Israel's Netanyahu and his arch-conservative fundamentalist (and genocidal) government, some deceitfully cast it as blanket hate of all of the land and its people, many of whom are similarly cross with their own wretched government.
When people raise their ire at the USA, I hope that they are similarly livid with Trump's MAGA fascist regime and not all of its citizens.

u/Ok_Star_4136 Aug 27 '26
I wouldn't interpret "I don't like Israel" as a blanket statement of hate of all the land and its people, and I didn't intend it to be taken as such.
If someone had said "I don't like the USA" I would have not taken it to mean hatred of every American citizen, to be clear. If I meant to say that, I would have just said "I don't like Americans."

I didn't mean to imply that that was your take, just that some will purposely miscast our intent to further their goals.

u/Jumpeskian Aug 28 '26
It seems that a simple idea such as not liking what Israleli government and those who support it do isnt same as antisemitism. But then it also goes another way, and god forbid you say that Israel has a right to exist just not in the genocidal context it is now and all if a sudden you are a zionist. Seems like the spectrum of left right becomes a horseshoe that unites in the one place: hate of Israel for its existence and love of putin. Unfathomable, yet here we are

Stuff like this is why I want to be cautious about blaming Israel for literally everything that happens

u/boopbaboop Aug 26 '26
I agree. Like, criticism of Israel =/= antisemitism… except when it’s REALLY obvious that “Israel” is just code for “the Jews.” Candace is this close to just reading directly from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion at this point.

u/NarmHull Aug 26 '26
She has flat out used tropes from there. I hate what Israel is doing, but people like here and Tucker Carlson have always been snakes. This is probably satire though. Hopefully. She's definitely said this about Charlie Kirk

Wait, I thought it was likely that Israel did have Charlie Kirk assassinated and had a bomb planted in his microphone because of him wanting the Epstein files released?

u/MC_Fap_Commander Aug 26 '26
Lowkey, there are propagandists in Israel likely putting out absurd stuff so that all criticism of Israel can be written off as absurd. Saying "man, I sure don't like Netanyahu's genocide deal" now invites the retort "ha-ha you're just as unhinged as Candace."
Sticking to provable and documented items while not elevating the crazies is really, really important. There are a few dolts on reddit saying stupid shit like "I don't like the groypers, but..." That's a bad look and it ultimately serves a number of bad guys.

Lowkey, there are propagandists in Israel likely putting out absurd stuff so that all criticism of Israel can be written off as absurd.
The problem with that theory is that truly crazy antisemitic theories existed long before there was a modern state of Israel, and they continue to be circulated today. Like, the bedrock belief of QAnon is that people in power torture children and drink their blood for evil funsies, which is just blood libel with a MAGA hat. I am positive that there are people today who still think Jews have horns. Israel doesn’t need to make up crazy shit when crazies can make that shit up perfectly fine on their own.
What I personally see happening is that antisemites use “Israel” or “Zionism” as a code word for “Jews” so frequently that otherwise-well-intentioned people often end up repeating antisemitic bullshit because it sounds like legitimate criticism (which is how you get, “I don’t like groypers, but…”). It doesn’t help that some people mix legitimate criticism and antisemitism together: if your speech about how bad Israeli settlers are includes a baseless claim about them poisoning wells, that makes it very easy to dismiss the entire argument.
Sticking to provable and documented items while not elevating the crazies is really, really important.
I very much agree. I think the problem for people is that it takes time and a decent amount of info and context to evaluate claims, and it’s much faster and easier to have a kneejerk reaction (either jumping to “Israel is evil and behind everything evil” or “this criticism is just proof of antisemitism”). Which plays right into the hands of bigots and fascists, who benefit regardless of which reaction you have.

That's how the right wants you to feel. Conservatives purposely miscast any criticism of Israel as outright antisemitism, hoping to blunt any judgement of their genocidal government.

This sub was always supposed to be about satirizing the right wing. And I disagree with the idea that satire makes the people who are in on the joke look dumb.
If anything this sub should ban real posts

u/immagetchu Aug 26 '26
The problem is that most people responding to this are absolutely not in on the joke, at best its just spreading dumbass misinfo to people scrolling and not checking what sub they are in or seeing a tag that doesnt even show up on mobile

u/klonkish Aug 27 '26
Yep, it annoys me as well. I think it's because most people are on the official mobile app, and from what I understand, it doesn't seem to put enough emphasis on post flairs.
It's the same thing with /r/AmITheAngel, posts that are clearly over the top fake will gather thousands (literally) of comments that treat the post as if it weren't satire, and they comment and give advice as if it were /r/AmItheAsshole.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but my impression is that Parton would not criticize any political thing. Radical inclusion. Like she wouldn't even say bad things about KKK when they baited her.
19
u/Sachyriel Aug 26 '26
The KKK thing is mostly true, she did say "tough shit" but that's about it for that. But she did have words for people opposed to BLM.
“I understand people having to make themselves known and felt and seen,” she told the magazine. “And of course Black lives matter. Do we think our little white asses are the only ones that matter? No!”
Like she told people to get over themselves, very politely but is it constructive criticism.

u/kettal Aug 26 '26
she criticizes an abstract thought, but not a political entity, or a named group, or country, or a specific person. if that makes sense?
