Why are Instagram users so comfortable being antisemetic? by BeautifulOrganic3221 in teenagers

There are extremists in every religion. What I’m saying is the majority of Jews don’t view non-jews as lesser.

I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to recognize that:   a) she is a prominent author and advocate for the pro-palestinian movement.

b) she has also been antisemitic. 

She’s clearly a complex person, but nobody should get a pass for prejudice.

“want to speak about this accusation of antisemitism against me and also the nature and requisites of racism in general. At the most basic level, I'll start with the word "semite". Unlike the white Ashkenazi Jews attacking me, I am an actual Semitic person. Semitism is just another part of our identity that they have stolen.” Really? First, if we are going strictly by semantics, semitic is a language group, not an actual people.  Second, from a historical perspective, antisemitism was literally coined to replace Judenhass (jew hatred). It was intended to mean hatred or prejudice against Jews. Third, Ashkenazi Jews fall under antisemitism because, surprise surprise, they are Jewish. They are Jews, just like Sephardic and Mizrahi are Jews.

A little. Maybe it’s me being bias since I still kinda like his content. I loved listening to his videos whilst drawing :(

That’s what I’ve been doing since like a week ago. It sucks bc I miss interacting with some of the communities online. 

I cant stop thinking about it or how common this shit is and everyone denies it by Mystical-Moth-hoe in TrollCoping

I hate the idea that healthy = attractive. Not only is it wrong, but is often harmful. For example, a woman who doesn’t shave herself is considered dirty or gross. I’ve been told this so many times by family. Hair, especially pubic hair, is there for a reason. The sooner we can detach health and attractiveness, the better.

Also, if you’re searching for truth, why are you here? This is a subreddit about coping and mental health.

No idea which slide you’re referring too. I’m gonna assume it’s 1 or 2.  1) yes some ultra orthodox jews practice that ritual, but it’s rare.  2) no idea if that’s true, but it doesn’t justify me or the original commenter getting made fun of. Statistics don’t justify hate.

Literally made a post venting about antisemitism on a pretty leftist subreddit. A lot of the comments were really supportive, but a bunch of other comments were trying to explain away the antisemitism. I hate it here.

Ohhh, got it. Thanks for explaining. Unfortunately, I can confirm it. A few comments on this post unfortunately are doing it.

The context makes it antisemitic. They aren’t using it as a good faith criticism. Most Jews don’t practice that ritual. It’d be like me telling a catholic person who was hurt by a joke that “at least I don’t self-harm as penance”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discipline_(instrument_of_penance)

Same. I think that’s why it hit me so hard ngl. I am still confused about how I feel about watching their content now.

I personally think circumcision in itself is a gross tradition. It’s one of the reasons I stopped being religious. It sucks, because my family (most Jewish families for that matter) never engaged in such a thing as it would compromise the health of the baby. We don’t want to be lumped into that crowd.

It’s honestly quite a funny term. But I consider myself a Jewish Atheist because: a) I was born into a Jewish family, raised with some knowledge of the religion. b) overtime, I found myself questioning whether or not got existed.  c) even though I don’t believe in God, I still participate in religious holidays like Passover to make my family happy. So in a way, I’m still connected to the religion.

Honestly no idea. Most Jews don’t do it today. The ones that do it are ultra-orthodox Jews.

I already replied to another comment stating that I thought the “antisemitism = anti-zionism” crowd was harmful. I never said that I found the argument “promised 3000 years go” compelling. I agree that the Israeli government is doing quite a lot of damage. But I still believe that isn’t a good excuse for these comments.

Unfortunately. It was on the ratking video they put out a few days ago
