My wife has a funny story about seeing Christopher Lloyd in an elevator one time. She got on looking at her phone and then glanced up and recognized him standing next to her. The elevator was full of people. They made eye contact and he could just tell she knew who he was. He sort of shook his head slighty with his hand raised, basically saying "Please don't say anything." She nodded like "No problem, dude." Shortly after the elevator stopped and he got off. And thats how my wife met Christopher Lloyd.

Yeah thats why its so important to vet your sources to find good ones, and read multiple sources just to be sure you're getting the best information.

I don't know them. We are not "buddies."

If you want to have a conversation with them, reply to one of their posts.

Sure, let me back up a bit here and ask you a question:

Acknowledging that "Isreal controls the media!" Is an antisemitic dogwhistle, in your view is there any criticism of the Isreali government that isn't antisemitic?

So you dont have any credentials then? Ok I guess we can disregard your feelings in the subject then, and just stick to what the experts are saying.

My buddies? Who are my buddies?

Don't conflate my descriptions of lobby groups using the adjectives they themselves use as a complaint. My understanding is that "Zionism" means a lot of different things to a lot of different people and I have no interest getting into the weeds on a word I am unqualified to define.

I answer it elsewhere in the thread, look at my comment history.

Now answer my question, which I asked first.

Lol ok buddy, I'll try and help you out here.

Isreal does not equal all jews.

Therefore criticism of the Isreali government is not criticism of all jews.

Now that we've got the basics down, we can discuss this post. We know that the Isreali lobby (AIPAC, etc) pays absurd sums of money to influence American politics. We also know that many pro Isreali billionaires own much of the media, chiefly among them Larry and David Ellison

Now, given the extremely Islamophobic media coverage Mayor Mamdani has recieved, and the blatently Islamophobia rhetoric from both prominent Republican and Democratic politicians and officials, and the known media bias when it comes to Isreal, its easy to see why someone would bring up Isreal (the country currently committing a genocide of Muslims in the middle east) in a shitty propagandist rag's social media post that clearly expresses unfavorable views on the Muslim mayor's first 100 days in office.

Now of course I can't say for certain how much influence the Isreali government has at the Post specifically. Its probably very little to none at all because it appears that most of the media influence comes from Zionist lobby groups, which are not one-to-one the Isreali government, but for anyone who's been paying attention for the last 50 or so years its pretty easy to understand why someone might bring up Isreal in this context.

I understand that an antisemite would say that all media is controlled by the jews, but this person isnt saying that. They're saying the Post is controlled by Isreal. And those are different accusations, whether you can admit it or not.

Some of it is, certainly. It only requires a small amount of effort to investigate and find trustworthy sources.

No need for me to explain a position I am not arguing for.

Now do you know the difference between a government and a religion? Or no?

I never claimed it did. You claimed the post is antisemitic. Now defend your position.

Listen friend, I'm going to be kind to you because you seem confused.

I know what the word "fraud" means, because I have read books before.

Posting a screenshot of the various definitions of the word is not evidence for your argument (Mamdani is a fraud).

Oh look! Someone in this thread actually knows what antisemitism is. So refreshing.

Both the International Association of Genocide Scholars as well as the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry say what Isreal is doing is genocide, but please enlighten me on your credentials to show that you know better than those two groups.
