It'd probably be good to get back on topic. State Dept. as expected is looking into it or whatever. They'll circle back on this at the next standup for sure.

Apparently, students at other universities are also protesting with sit-ins or camping. Crazy that this is the response to what has largely been a peaceful protest

The complete and utter erasure of anti-zionist jews from the protests and even the narrative is just chilling.

I saw more of them during the cring video of the woman with the 'jew' t-shirt today, posting how unsafe she felt at a campus protest (while hundreds of supposedly murderously anti-semitic people around her barely took notice) and a group with a Jews-for-Free-Palestine sign could be seen for a couple of seconds in the background.

Never thought I’d say it about a D&D thread but it’s been genuinely helpful.

I can’t avoid the brain breaking brutality of it all, but I can at least handle it better. Well, at least the existence of it. The minimizing, denial and justification is still something I need to figure out how to contend with, even though logically, no one should have to simply deal with any of this.

Honestly we are belabouring this too much, Irony just be a normal human being and not a DnD poster about it for half a second and cop to a hastey probe and apologize. Nothing about this is complicated. If Irony could do that I don't see why the rest of us can't also be normal people about it and move on.
Correct.

It's truly hilarious how fast these derails would end if mods would just say "oops sorry" when they make a mistake instead of doubling down with threats and punishment to get back on topic. It would make their role so much easier but they won't do it.

Not to mention the improved goodwill, trust, etc

How does someone protest against what Israel the country is doing without being labeled antisemitic? Like I think it's perfectly reasonable to assume someone parading around with a Russian flag these days is in support of what their country is doing to Ukraine, and I think it's perfectly reasonable to call that person out on it. But because the flag they are parading is an Israeli flag, calling them out for being in support of their government makes people antisemitic?

You can't, because Zionists will smear any criticism of Israel's repugnant conduct and ongoing genocide as anti-Semitism. It is an accusation that is almost always used in bad faith in this context. For an example look at the ongoing media discourse about supposedly rampant "anti-Semitism" (protests against Israel's genocide) on US college campuses.

Pro-Israel people have always used accusations of antisemitism to try to discredit criticism of Israel. It doesn’t seem to be working anymore, with public approval of Israel in America still steadily declining during Israel’s genocide.

Which does make fear that in failing to discredit criticism of Israel, they discredit accusations of antisemitism generally.

they know, and they don't care

Alan Dershowitz is currently penning thinkpieces about how peace protests are more terrifying than the actual Charlottesville nazi rally, and Bibi famously is more than happy to pal around with white supremacists because he and they are ideologically aligned. They do not have any issue with actual anti-Semitism, they just like the term as a cudgel against anyone who opposes them, because the credulous/complicit will not push back or ask follow-up questions.

there's no real winning move, you just gotta accept that you'll get labeled and tell anyone who argues in bad faith to gently caress off. Whatever that does to screen actual nazis is on them.

Israel/Zionism has always excelled at getting their narrative out first; it was a genuine blindside when they suddenly started attacking Feminist organizations in tandem with the release of the debunked NYT article Screams Without Words, as an example. They're good at shoving out a message ASAP.

This is effective if the audience is getting their news from a source that isn't going to display anything that would challenge it (Television, Newspapers), but obviously falls apart in a catastrophic way if they're getting their news from a more publicly abrogable source (Twitter, TikTok, Online websites, Forums). Which we're seeing play out in the growing chasm of support for Israel between ages under-40 and over-40.

Like, anyone using Twitter is going to hear about the "antisemitic Jew-hating campus pogroms", but they're also going to see this:

Not that it's anything new but poisoning that well is certainly disastrous for keeping people from falling into disinfo, rage bait, and conspiratorial thinking. You know, the same things that drive people into the arms of actual anti-Semitic hate groups, elder protocols of Zion poo poo. Seeding misery for Jews in general to serve the interests of genocide, it's utterly repulsive.

It's sadly unavoidable to be called antisemitic when criticizing Israel. I think it's worth not giving ammunition or invoking a trope that is demeaning to all Jewish people. There is a lot of antisemitism embedded in English (probably most European languages?) so it's easy to do so accidentally.

It's a win-win when it comes to justifying Zionism and antisemitism both, both narrative exceptionalize jews as a uniquely "apart" and inherently more powerful group that can only be "safe" when confined to a nation state of their own, and the only fundamental disagreement is if Jews are "good" or "bad." The conflation of Israel and all Jews also lets non-Jewish Zionists have their cake and eat it too, they can openly support the colonial and military project of Israel while demonizing Jews in their own country as traitors.
