I fear the Netanyahu government has destroyed 75 years of goodwill towards Israel. walkingman Jul 27 #1

Jewish people must not be held responsible for Israel's crimes. David__77 Jul 27 #2

In the past, the world never witnessed a genocide in real time on their phones womanofthehills Jul 27 #10

You nailed it. Never before were people dumb enough to learn about genocide from what they see on their phones. Beastly Boy Jul 27 #15

I think the poster was referring to the ease of dissemination carpetbagger Jul 27 #26

You are right, ease of dissemination itself is bias neutral. Beastly Boy Jul 27 #30

The Netanyahu government is not the only player in destroying good will towards Israel. Beastly Boy Jul 27 #4

Israel discredits itself through its criminal actions. David__77 Jul 27 #5

With Israel creating a Holocaust in Gaza this kind of pushback is only going to get worse. Murdering babies has ImNotGod Jul 27 #11

Ever heard of Holocaust inversion? Beastly Boy Jul 27 #13

To be fair, that goes to Hamas as well EdmondDantes_ Jul 27 #17

What is not understandable is how many people feel angry about Israel's actions and no one else's. Beastly Boy Jul 27 #19

Except a sign saying "genocide is genocide" isn't Holocaust denialism and undercuts their claims. EdmondDantes_ Jul 27 #31

It doesn't surprise me anymore that documenting antisemitism is being dismissed as "scare inducing" Beastly Boy Jul 29 #42

Funny how you didn't actually respond to what I said EdmondDantes_ Jul 29 #46

Everything in my response is directly related to what you said. Beastly Boy Jul 29 #48

Given they are counting it as Holocaust denialism EdmondDantes_ Jul 29 #50

This is a bit cryptic, but let me try to make sense of it. Beastly Boy Jul 29 #52

Illuminating to the exclusion of all others. Beastly Boy Jul 29 #40

It could, actually. But I am not suggesting it does. Beastly Boy Jul 29 #47

Israel's denial of the Palestinian holocaust is no reason to deny the Jewish holocaust, or any other for that matter cadoman Jul 27 #23

Second Holocaust inversion in a single thread. Beastly Boy Jul 27 #25

how does one invert a holocaust? cadoman Jul 27 #27

I had to look it up Mossfern Jul 27 #28

fetch will never be a thing Nimble_Idea Jul 29 #39

Feel free to cite an alternative source that defines Holocaust inversion. Beastly Boy Jul 29 #45

Except that they did not do that. Eko Jul 27 #32

it appears that "holocaust inversion" is a charming re-packaging of strawman/labeling/verecundiam/populum fallacies cadoman Jul 29 #54

When you count saying Israel is commitining a genocide as well as being against Zionism antisemitism. Eko Jul 27 #29

when you can deny genocide in real time in the present, with your own eyes. what's there to bring up old stuff? Nimble_Idea Jul 29 #37

Look there, not here! Beastly Boy Jul 29 #41

There is no antisemitism on the left. nt LexVegas Jul 29 #43
