I feel like things on Lemmy were pretty chill several months ago, and that’s started to change.
People used to talk each other like they would talk to a neighbor. Now I get the sense that people have become quick to be negative, attack, and not be constructive.
Am I crazy in feeling like the vibe has changed?
Maybe it’s the instances I frequent, but almost all of the “antisemitism” I’ve been seeing is actually anti-Zionism/non-Zionism, which are not antisemitism, despite Zionists’ unending efforts to conflate the them. In fact, Zionist antisemitism is a thing.
Most claims I see are saying it’s just criticism of Israel, and then excusing literally anything hamas/Palestine does as totally legitimate, which is way more than being anti-zionist.
By the UN General Assembly, not only do the Palestinians have a right to armed struggle against their occupiers, but the occupiers do not have a right to defend themselves.
If Hamas started attacking Yemen or Lebanon or Syria we’d all join you in being cross with them, but so far they seem to be attacking Israel.
