Sums it up. Fuck the fascist, genocidal Israeli leadership, and fuck the population of Israel as well because overall they support what is going on.
And fuck US governments and institutions that invest in and fund Israel. Divest! Now!
I don’t hate Jewish people, but I am certain with all this bullshit Israel is pulling, the population of people that do is growing.
This is of course an exaggeration and propaganda in itself. In real life, the sign (or others around it) would also have real anti-semitic aspects, if not outright calls for genocide against jews or israelis.
In turn, many people still seem to blindly support israel, and make stupid claims like there are no innocents in gaza, engage in propaganda (eg. here’s a photo of a kebab stand in gaza, see, no food shortage!). Sigh.
There is an incredible amount of hate and racism that is spewed forth by a small minority of people, and that it is so readily accepted (and not called out) by many is worrying. We have cause for concern.

‘from the river to the sea’, which of course is antisemitism
I think you mean anticolonialism.

What do you call it when you forcefully remove hundreds of thousands of natives without letting them return and then replace them with people from all over the world?
And this is still happening in the west bank.

Thanks for the nuanced comment. Of course the signs don’t only say ‘stop killing of children in Gaza’, but often ‘from the river to the sea’, which of course is antisemitism.
Of course antisemitism ? That is what the repeated front-page news of mainstream media tried to make me believe a while ago, and then lots of politicians started to believe that as well, even banning that sentence in some countries. Here’s some information on it :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_the_river_to_the_sea
Many Palestinian activists have called it “a call for peace and equality” after decades of Israeli military rule over Palestinians while for Jews it is seen as a call for the “destruction” of Israel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Israel Read it and then say again “from the river to the sea is antisemitic”.

The full chant is “from the river to the sea [Palestine will be free]” which to me means that the state of Israel is unwelcome. Hell I’ve joined in on that chant, even though I’m not theoretically 100 against a permanent Israeli settlement, so long as it takes on a very very different form.
Even though the removal of the state of Isreal would mean the ethnic cleansing / genocide of millions of Jews?
Israel isn’t going anywhere. Many Arabic countries have already successfully completed the total eradication of all Jews within their populations, so they need somewhere to call home.
Oh by the way, the original Arabic translation of “To the river to the sea” ends with “Palestine will be Arab.” They just changed it in English.

man this post has all the flavors of the israel palestine conflict.
Nothing quite like lemmy for that, would be surprised if the troll factory mobilized on reddit’s worldnews was beginning to catch on to the troll factories on the other side of the coin mobilized on lemmy. In fact, this being in lemmy.ml, I would normally expect only to hear about pro-Hamas opinions. Guess we’ll have to wait to see which comments get removed to see if things have changed or if it was simply just an day off.
