and these late additions:
Which is funny, because he notoriously doesn't do shit for Chicago.
He also claimed he was a “real jew” so there’s that
it's okay to be antisemitic as long as you support israel in this genocide
weren't these people the ones that said antizionism = antisemitism? not like this is a surprise but it's still funny that these people loose their mask in seconds
If you are "both-sideist" and one side is Israel, and the other side is Hamas, I don't really see how that can be defensible or OK. Imagine being "both-sideist" and one side is the KKK.

Israelis will really look at the Peace Lines Potato Famine Island screaming "WE'RE LITERALLY SPEAKING FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WHEN WE LABEL YOU AS COLONIZERS!" and be like, "God, why are you being so antisemitic‽"
have a hard time buying halal meat like I used to before 7.10... I just can't get over the politics unfortunately. Even when I have no idea what the politics of the person who did the slaughter are.
Also, there’s something really funny about the ones saying Mia Khalifa.
I wonder how they would feel if people stopped buying kosher or stopped consuming media/art made by Jewish people?
Surely there won't be a double standard 🤪
Oh that’s the richest part, chuds accusing absolutely everyone who criticizes Israel of hating all Jews being all “after October 7th I just can’t trust anything made by a Muslim.”
Hell, that's what BDS and similar campaigns are accused of - with the intentional comparison to the nazi era "Kauf nicht bei Juden" ("don't buy from jews")
Yes, I can't step foot in a Middle-Eastern store like I used to, to stock up on certain products. I got to try an Iraqi restaurant back last year post 7.10, but only because I knew it was Christian owned.
Agreed- on doing business with Arab and Muslim merchants for now. They may be otherwise decent people but you just know what their views are going to be on the topic so why go there.
I went to a new, big like Turkish/middle eastern supermarket sometime after 7/10, couldn't stop thinking about while I was in there. I also am kinda loathe to return. Probably won't.
What the fuck?? I wouldn't even consider to stop going to a Jewish/Kosher place I liked because of Israel
The Iraq thing is funny too because like.....there are Christian Palestinians and Israeli missiles can't tell religion in that brief window before it lands. As far as I'm aware, Christian Arabs also despise Israel.
Iraqi Christians are Assyrian, not Arab. unfortunately a lot of the ones in diaspora do support Israel because they hate Muslims.
Kanye West is antisemitic but particularly on this conflict, he hasn’t commented
Oh I wonder why
Pink Floyd
I'm really glad that there's one artist from my teenage blunder years that I can still listen to.
The Serj Tankian comments made me sit down. They acknowledge that he's right about 9-11 but since he said it two days afterwards he's wrong or something and that he's Armenian.
I'm still trying to figure out what Armenians did to zionists to earn their ire outside of getting ethnically cleansed from Palestine in 48 and trying to stay in the Armenian quarter of Old Jerusalem.
They probably think he was being UnCiViL and DiSrEsPeCtFuL To ThE ViCtImS.
https://www.thegauntlet.com/article/5/Serj-From-System-Of-A-Down-Comments-On-9-11 Literally everything he said was right lol
Israel sells weapons to Azerbaijan, who have been in a low-key war with Armenia for 30 or so years. This makes Armenia antisemitic, somehow.
Yeah the "Maybe he doesn't like Israel because they don't recognize the Armenian genocide" was when I tapped out with a side cramp
Not exactly an artist but the entire nation of Ireland. No Guinness for me ever. Was half tempted to buy an Ulster Flag for St Patricks day.
I would think a bit with this premise would be too outlandish, but here we are. They're so close to the mask coming off.
Musk said Israel should respond to 10/7 with “kindness” towards the Palestinians. So, fk elon.
Immortal technique
Yeah you can't tell at all lol.
It's like people being surprised about RATM, except he's a rapper. He's not buried in sweet guitar riffs, It's absolutely clear what he's saying
Also, don't like Billie Eilish after her Oscars stunt with the ceasefire pin.
a ceasefire pin is the most mild fucking statement imaginable. "Ermm a generic peace for both sides statement? How dare you even SUGGEST we pause our mass slaughter of innocent life!"
they should boycott these countries next
Don't you know? You're a monster if you:
Call it a genocide
Call for a ceasefire
Call Israel an occupation
Wear a keffiyeh
Wear a ceasefire pin
Display the Palestinian flag
Engage in a protest
Demand an end to providing arms to the occupation
Post videos or images of the genocide
Ask that the occupation exercise serious restraint
Boycott
Send aid including food to Gaza
Ask that the occupation stop starving people to death
Watermelon (?)
And apparently according to a post or two over there, saying nothing at all too apparently
Probably about twenty more I missed but this list is long enough already.
There was someone in the thread calling some celebrity a pro Hamas antisemite for posting a selfie of herself in a green paragliding suit a week after October 7th because she'd been paragliding. She also practically immediately deleted the post and made a public apology but that still isn't enough apparently.
they have a list of news sources you cant cite for being too anti israel lol https://www.reddit.com/r/Israel/wiki/bannedsources/
Doesn't the electronic intifada just translate Israeli news for western audiences.

Apparently the guy from Disturbed is super pro-Israel. I always got a chuddish vibe from him and his band.
I had a look at the sidebar rules. There is the expected don't do this and don't do that which goes on and on. But there's something that made me laugh. The ninth list item at the very end. They basically say they'll give you a temporary or permanent ban based on vibes.
Emphasis mine.
9. Violation of sub rules and/or site-wide rules may result in post removal, warnings or bans at moderator discretion. The moderators of this subreddit reserve, in some circumstances, the right to exercise disciplinary measures based on violations witnessed in modmail or PMs and the right to arbitrarily discipline users for violations of the spirit of the rules or disruption of the subreddit's healthy functioning.
If you want to appeal or dispute any mod action, please send a modmail. PMs and chat messages to the mods are grounds for a temporary ban; posts contesting mod action will be removed and are also grounds for a temporary or permanent ban.
Not every sub is shit. The large ones over 50k (or maybe 100k) subscribers are almost guaranteed to be shit. And the mods there are like busy body middle school kids who achieved their dream of being an asshole slash narc with a zero percent chance of getting stuffed in a locker again.
But smaller subs can be chill and the mods are actually there to make the sub better and not worse. There's no "my way or the highway" modding.
I think the best subs tend to be the ones that have no rules (maybe because they are so small) or there's something like this...
Rules
Use common sense and don't be a dick.

Just in time for Saint Paddy's.
Kanye West is antisemitic but particularly on this conflict, he hasn’t commented (as far as I know). One TMZ interviewer asked him about it and Kanye replied something along the lines of “I don’t know enough..ask me about the dying kids in Chicago, that’s what I’m concerned with”.
"Hate me and mine for ethnic reasons, that's fine, but I draw the line at calling a genocidal spade a spade."
Ethel Cain. She released a song called From the river… very unfortunate I really loved her. (She’s trans, no doubt she’d be killed the second she steps foot in Palestine).
Let's make a list. You (this commenter) draw up the people Palestinians murdered for being broadly LGBTQ+ in the last 10 years, and I'll try to write down the children IOF murdered in the last week.
Thankfully most of my favorite artists are dead :( but I have unfollowed and blocked a lot of activists. I’m an animal rights activist and unfortunately the childishly black-and-white “total liberationist” ethos has taken over a large portion of the movement, especially the younger/newer people. Jews are oppressors and they won’t hear otherwise. I hope as time goes on they look back on this and adapt their thinking. In the meantime, I’m connecting with Jewish animal advocacy groups.
"Black-and-white 'total liberationist' ethos" talking points: Genocide is wrong. Murder is wrong. Starving people is wrong.

Not even children, just list the queer Palestinians killed by Israel. I guarantee it’s higher than anything Hamas is capable of.
just list the queer Palestinians killed by Israel
Anyone pro-Israel on queer grounds should be forced to read that heart wrenching Queering the Map post in Gaza about a queer Palestinian who never told their partner their true feelings, and now the partner is dead from an Israeli bomb
