I have a feeling they can. If all discourse over social media is anti Palestine and no one can refute in I give it 10 years max before it would just be a frothing hate for Palestinians with a significant amount of the population.

The harder they push pro-Israel, the more anti-Israel everyone is going to get.
You can’t bully us into supporting a genocidal regime.

They are already trying to do this and failing miserably at it. Censorship itself is an admission of guilt and is something that people are really starting to understand. That’s basically the point of my original comment: the harder they try to stop dissent, the more guilty they look.

This is why the Fediverse and VPNs/Tor etc. are so important.

My fucking brain is so fried.
Both my parents were in World War II. They fought against fascism. I was brought up to feel for what happened to the Jews during that war. Now all I see is that they seem to be being worse than the actual Nazis.

Israel =/= the “Jews”.
Israel’s founders were actually very prejudiced against Jews that survived the holocaust. And much more against the ones that didn’t actually…

Louder for the people in the back!
Zionists = religious nationalists / colonialists / fascists
Anti-zionists = anti-all-of-the-above
The Jewish ethnic/religious part is completely irrelevant. There are many thousands of non-jews who support Israel’s genocide, as evidenced by this batshit draconian illegitimate law.
If you just hate jews you’re some flavor of fascist or religious nationalist, so no better than zionists.

What Israel is doing is very much Nazi like. But saying such will get you banned on Mastodon.social, and probably prosecuted in places like Germany.

Do not conflate Jewish people with Israel
That is a very important distinction
Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 6 days ago
I guess I am ignorant in that respect. When I was taught back in the 60’s it was taught as the Jewish people and all dissidents, disabled and whoever else the nazi’s wanted out of the way.
DogWater@lemmy.world 6 days ago
I said what I did because in today’s world the labeling matters between Jewish people and zionists. Not because of anything that happened in WWII, but rather because you can condemn what the people in Israel are doing in Palestine and it has nothing to do with their faith.
However, there are people who will call you anti semetic for doing that and it’s just not true.

Yeah, nah.
The only people who win when you conflate Israel with all Jewish people are Zionists and Neo-Nazis.

And neglected to mention that it wasn’t just jews but anyone the nazis didn’t like, such as gays, communists, other races, etc.
Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 6 days ago
I did not intentionally not mention them. I was just talking about them because they were the specific topic of discussion. Of course there were others.

Gipsies, catholics, trans people, liberals, socialists, nationalists (for other nation than germany ofc), people suspected of spreading dissent, or just hostages taken as reprisal for resistances attack.
