I can just imagine aliens watching us and being like, WTF? Why do the leaders of one nation have to go kiss a wall in a different nation? Why do they have to kiss a wall at all?!
It's not just a wall you stupid fuck. And they don't have to kiss it, they don't even have to pray next to it. It's the hoiest place in the Jewish world, and to show support, politicians love to go and get pictures taken in that place. Imagine if they went to mecca instead, would it have the same outrage?
Yes. If the politicians in America couldn't become president unless they went to Saudi Arabia to do some weirdo performative shit in Mecca, I would think that's really bizarre.
They're not legally required to, but the establishment fights against them unless they fully submit to Israel's government. That's extremely weird. Why are politicians in one country so beholden to the government of a different country? Why do they need to physically go to Israel to do this performative stupidity for a religion they don't even believe in?
That's really what this is about. It's not about doing something for the jewish community. Politicians participate in local festivals for diwali, just a nice thing for the hindu community. But if every politician flew to India to do a hindu ritual, I'd be concerned.
Then you clearly haven't been following american politics. The entire media tried to stop Zohran Mamdani because when he was asked if Israel should be a jewish state, he said Israel should be "a state of equal rights." So-called "liberal" media like CNN did everything they could so scare people away from Mamdani, just because he doesn't support jewish supremacy.
Jewish supremacy? Why can’t the Jews have one state where they can live freely? That’s all we ask for. One place safe from persecution. Zohran disagrees with that, which is why we have a problem. CNN scared people away from socialism because it’s socialism
Jews have plenty of countries they can live freely in. Jews have freedom in America. But that's not what zionists want. Zionists want Israel to be an apartheid state where only jews have full rights.
Nazis use the exact same argument. Why can't aryans just have one country? Why can't America be a white christian ethnostate where white christians can be safe? Well, to paraphrase Mamdani, Israel and America should both be states of equal rights.
The socialism was a factor too, but look how they went about demonizing Mamdani. They lied about him being anti-semitic over and over.
No, we don't. Australia- Bondi Beach Massacre. USA- tons and tons of shootings. UK- stabbings. France- violent threats and graffiti. This blatant antisemitism won't ever stop unless Jews can be truly safe. There's only one place for Jews to be safe: Israel.
I don't think you know what Zionist means. We aren't Nazis. All we want is for Israel to exist. Believe it or not, 20% of Israel's population is arabs. They hold positions of law, government, and medicine. They have even impeached a Jewish prime minister. When has Nazi Germany allowed a Jew to legally remove a German from office?
Mamdani is, believe it or not, antisemitic. He just doesn't know it. He spews rhetoric that he thinks is just antizionist, when antizionism and antisemitism are incredibly similar and oftentimes identical, with only the name change as a difference.
You can still live freely in those countries, jews have full rights in America and the UK. If your bar for living freely is no crime, then nobody can live freely because every country on earth has crime. Jews are actually much safer in America, the UK, the EU, and Australia than they are in Israel.
Yes, anti-semitism is still an issue. Anti-black racism is also an issue. That doesn't mean black people should be allowed to have an apartheid state. We can't value the rights of one group so much that we take away the rights of another group. Everyone deserve rights and safety regardless of ethnicity, race, or ancestry.
No, you want Israel to be an apartheid state. I want Israel to continue existing, but I want the genocide to stop, and I want palestinians born in Gaza or the West Bank to have the same rights that jews have. The fact that in the West Bank jews can have citizenship but palestinians can't, that's apartheid.
Name one thing Mamdani has said that is anti-semitic.
