You mean like this?

On September 29, 2001, as many as 20,000 people demonstrated in Washington, D.C., United States, denouncing the impending United States invasion of Afghanistan. The protests were organized by the recently formed A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition.

@ElwoodBlues No. I mean like this. Protests specifically aimed at stopping the genocide in Afghanistan.

@flipper1966 are you now going to claim those Jewish people calling it genocide or are against ethnic cleansing are Antisemitic next?

flipper1966 · M

@basilfawlty89 You raise a good point. And the answer is complex.

The claim that Jews are devils is based on Christian theology, wherein those who rejected Jesus were considered detractors from the “true” path of religion. A common portrayal of Jews was that they possessed supernatural powers and horns, which put them in the realm of the devil and the metaphysical. The unique aspect of demonization is the assertion that Jews are the source of all evil. Consequently, demonizing Jews also includes equating them with Nazis, since Nazism represents an evil ideology.

@flipper1966 that's not gonna work here. Firstly, I am critical if all states including my own. A cursory glance at my profile will show you I am, especially Turkey and Azerbaijan.

Secondly, I'm not a Christian.
I'm Zoroastrian. Last I checked Cyrus and Darius have Jewish people liberty and allowed them to return to their lands and equal tolerance.

@flipper1966

when Israel is treated beacuse it is a jewsih state, it is antisemitic

Nobody is criticizing it because it is Jewish here. That's the defining, night and day, difference. Nobody here is doing anything on that list.

@MethDozer Nobody? Sounds like black and white, all or nothing thinking. And how do you know that nobody does it? Double standards have a way of flying under the radar. Not saying there are double standards. But can't rule it out either. Double standards happen to be a mainstay of thinking about Israel.

@MethDozer Key word being nobody. The word nobody is red flag for black and white thinking.

@MethDozer I will state as a fact -- use of everybody and nobody are red flags for all or nothing thinking.

@flipper1966 Did you copy and paste this uncontextualized Google search all by ourself?

flipper1966 · M

@MethDozer No. My mommy did it for me. She also tied my shoelaces this morning and wiped my ass when I went potty. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@MethDozer The Lemkin Institute has issued an active red flag alert for genocide by Israel against Palestinians living in Gaza. Just letting you know.
