This is not the same thing as literally having the religious symbol of your flag and only existing because of your religion. State religions arenāt the same as the literally being a religion country. There is no other country thatās universally considered the only state of that religion. Islam is very common as a state religion but no country is Islam they exist on their own. Isreal doesnāt. Itās literally their flag
I didnāt know that the crosses seen on the flags in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Switzerland, and the UK are christian crosses, and the islamic crescent isnāt as prominent as the star of david or those ācrossesā but yes they all have those religious symbols. I am wrong on that. I will shift the goal posts by answering you question. Iām not upset that their is a jewish state, all iām saying is the only one there is just happens to be doing genocide.
I donāt think antisemitism was bad before Isreal decided to do a genocide. Letās say hypothetically Saudi Arabia decided out of the blue they would be the only islamic state and every islamic state that there is decided to give it that designation. And then saudi arabia decided to just start killing people in Oman, UAE, Yemen, Qatar, etc to have the entire Arabian peninsula because muhammad promised it to them. If that scenario came true I would be willing to bet islamophobia would be worse
Letās say any random christian nation declared themselves the only christian nation and started killing peoples in the name of their religion because it was promised to them by God. People would start to hate christians. Iām just saying when you nation is the only representative of your religion on the planet and you decide to do genocide because āGod promised you the landā Itās a really really bad look on everyone that is just trying to follow their God in peace.
Thatās a fair point, my argument was mainly because I donāt think there is a single other major country that is the only religion of that country in the world. Letās use the vatican for example. Itās impossible because they donāt have billions of americanās tax dollars but letās say they just decided to go into rome and start killing people. Letās say they were powerful enough to take over rome and isolate them and start killing anyone that wasnāt catholic. People would start to hate Catholics
If Isreal wasnāt doing a genocide in the name of their god I think antisemitism would be reduced to nazis. If there was more than one jewish state maybe. But like even still, Islamophobia is a thing because a few countries kill people in the name of their religion. People donāt like when religions kill because of their religions regardless of if itās a nation or not. Itās just not a good thing. So when you are the only nation of your religion and you are doing a genocide and terrorismā¦
I donāt hate jews, I hate people that use their religion to justify a genocide. I donāt think the āantisemitismā this thread is referencing actually is antisemitism. I think itās people that also hate when others use their religion to justify killing people. Do you think all Jews are for this genocide? Absolutely fucking not. They are good people, they deserve love, respect, kindness, compassion, especially with what they have to deal with now. They have nothing to do with Israel
thatās the dumbest shit ever. 90% of american history his racism are you okay with that? fuck no you arenāt. Are you aware we are not currently living in history? we are living in the present. This will be history at some point yes but history is a guide for us to NOT DO THAT THING AGAIN.
Yes they do⦠People hate catholics. People have waged wars over catholics. People have killed for catholicism. The entire United Kingdom exists because they hated catholics⦠Catholics arenāt doing genocide currently⦠if they were people would start to hate them again⦠Are you being like this to help your argument or are you just lost?
Im not saying itās okay. I donāt think hating any person that doesnāt deserve it is okay. Islamophobia is normalized with conservatives. Antisemitism is somewhat normalized with progressives tho no where near the same for islamophobia. NEITHER IS CORRECT. The correct thing is to hate people that deserve it. People that donāt support genocide, people that donāt use their religion as justification to kill other people, people that donāt support any of this shit SHOULD NOT RECEIVE ANY HATE.
Iāve been very clear this entire time. No one should receive hate that doesnāt deserve it. Isreal does. iām saying itās being normalized because Isreal is a Jewish state that is doing a genocide in the name of their god so people are taking that and targeting innocent people which i have said plenty of times is wrong. But youāre too busy doing mental gymnastics to defend them.
