[–] Endorkend@kbin.social 65 points 2 years ago (1 child) You have people like this saying actual antisemitic shit over and over and over again and they are elected to office. And then it's people that want the country of Israel, to at least pretend to try to not kill scores of civilians and they get called antisemitic. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world [S] 45 points 2 years ago (1 child) That is entirely Israel's fault. I say that as a Jew. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Endorkend@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago (1 child) My work often takes me to the Antwerp diamond quarter (especially the vault buildings) and the sentiment I see there is that your general Jewish person facepalms every time they hear Israel is in the news again and they aren't happy this makes life more difficult for them by simple association. Most of these people just want to live their lives and have no association, fealty or favor for the country of Israel, beyond the area it resides in hosting holy sites. Dunno about the traditionally dressed Hasidic Jews in Antwerp though, I've been in and around the Diamond Quarter for 25 years now and I don't think I've ever even got as much as a hello or acknowledgement of existence from any of them walking down the street. They seem to be a rather insular bunch. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world [S] 21 points 2 years ago (1 child) Ironically, a lot of Orthodox Jews are anti-Zionists for religious reasons.
