on the other hand...

And the comment section was just filled with everyone going "well magneto could he romani. He could be gay, etc"

Which misses the point the dude was making, and is also antisemitic because no one else was going into how its suddenly appropriate to make black panther not black because of xyz identity that also faced oppression. It was only magneto that people were arguing over.

And the fucking audacity of someone to go "they should make him gay because at least the jews got freed"

Even though jews objectively had it worse. More jews died than any other group. We are still seen as not oppressed enough by the holocaust. Also antisemitism didn't just fucking end when Nazi germany fell. Jews who got freed has nowhere to go.

But there's not an antisemitism problem in the world right now, right??? It's totally normal to use the actions of a terrorist group like Hamas to talk up someone so antisemitic he won't even say Israel, right?????

But maybe the Norway player didn’t want to say “Israel” because its leader Netanyahu is a fucking monster targeting Palestinian civilians esp children and guilty of genocide?

No that’s not the players’ fault, any more than the USA players are responsible for Trump’s fuckery. But it’s understandable. As a U.S. citizen, when other countries boo us at national events I completely understand the sentiment.

Of course antisemitism is everywhere, as is Islamophobia, prejudice and bigotry of all sorts. And none of it is ok.

"Not saying their behavior is okay." Except where you then justified it for several paragraphs. You should think about why you want to see it as "bad sportmanship" and not "intentional and shitty antisemitism" from not just the Norway player but the Norway fans.

I mean, I know the answer is because you are trusting sources about genocide claims and harm to children who Jews and allies have told you repeatedly are not trustworthy, but i'm sure it's not because you're antisemtic. No. You think you're just anti-Israel and justifying your hate and Norway's hate by blaming the one powerful Jew you can name.

"BUT"

There's always a but. It's always used to invalidate the thing they tepidly condemn before moving into the Big Boy Bigotry and lies. Then, after lying and writing an anti-Jew polemic before going "I'm an american super ashamed of our country and ALL PHOBIAS MATTER BECAUSE MY panopticon fandom will rip me apart if I mention antisemitism without following it up with islamophobia and other bigotries. I AM A GOOD PERSON NOT LIKE YOUUUUUU."

and does the thing that Jew-haters always do. Boom Sartre quote everyone left of fucking Joe Manchin was getting out to use on ONLY republicans 10 years ago and NEVER about Jews:

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

“The Elders of Zion […] rule the world and do not like Hitler and are doing all they can to overthrow him.”

this just sounds like:

and all the other AIPAC/Zios/Mossad/elites/insert dog whistle here conspiracies running rampant right now.

you would think that facts and logic would prevail through the record of history. there were no Elders of Zion controlling anything. (((they))) did not stop Hitler and the industrial murder machine of the Holocaust. there’s no secret (((cabal))) puppeteering the world, no ZOG, no Jewish space lasers or genies or secretly engineered spy pigeons. facts and logic would seemingly make this easy to understand.

this hatred is not about Medinat Yisrael. yes, there are many problems there, from corrupt/criminal politicians to growing radicalism to violence to societal unrest to ptsd, etc, and those need to be addressed, which is true of most countries on this earth, but those aren’t the reasons for the hatred and the disinformation and the historical revisionism and the cultural erasure. the domestic issues of a nation roughly the size of New Jersey, or even of the conduct, casualties, and destruction as consequences of a terrible war, are not the reason that every comment section on every social media site (sometimes on posts that have nothing to do with Jews!) are brimming with judenhass. they are not the reason that Jews in cities across the world are afraid to openly wear Stars of David and are accosted on the street. that’s just the convenient excuse. the diaspora is sick with antisemitism. it is sick with extremism and the vaunting of demagoguery.

people online celebrating and justifying wholesale slaughter, be that on a kibbutz or a beach in Australia, use political jargon as a cover, thinking it masks the rot underneath the helpful buzzwords. it doesn’t, it’s the same hatred it’s always been.
