So apparently for lemmy.world mods pointing out that the word āanti-semiteā is far more used than "antigypsyism, anti-Romanyism, antiziganism, ziganophobia, or Romaphobiaā even though the Nazis targetted both Jews and Roma in the Holocaust, is, somehow, āCriticizing Jewish people as a wholeā.
Or maybe itās the whole āI donāt care about any one specific race, I care about people and think itās always unjusct when people are treated differently based on things they were born with, such as raceā that was deemed āCriticizing Jewish people as a wholeā.
Good old lemmy.world: they were called on it repeatedly so eventually walked back on the whole ācriticizing Israel is anti-semiticā but apparently if you donāt go along with the view that racism against a very specific group is much worse than racism against people from other groups, then you must be against that specific ethnic group.
My comment in text for reference:
All clearly as frequently used as āanti-semitismā /s
And yeah, I donāt care about race, any race, I care about people, which includes that theyāre not unjustly treated for things that were not their choice, such as the race they were born into.
Itās Racists who feel the need to care about a race or races, defending things for some races which they do noit defend for others, doing little performances about how others must care about those races too and that those who donāt āare against those racesā - for them race comes first, defining a person and dictating how they should be treated.
For Humanists race is something that should be of as little importance to how somebody is treated as the color of their eyes or how tall they are, and yet they see again and again race weponized by Racists to treat people differently even though those people havenāt actually earned such treatment through their actions: in other words race fro Humanists is something that should be irrelevant yet has been turned by others into a pivot for injustice.
Itās pretty obvious from your little performance which one you are
Mate, I donāt know in which countries in Europe you lived in, but in all 4 countries of Europe I lived in discrimination against Roma People (or Travellers in the UK) was far, far larger and normalized than discrimination against Jewish People and yet, how many times have you heard or read any of the the words āantigypsyism, anti-Romanyism, antiziganism, ziganophobia, or Romaphobiaā versus how many times have you heard or read the word āanti-semitismā, especially in the Press?
Now, granted, Iām not old enough to have lived during WWII so Iām not going to claim it wasnāt the other way around 80 years ago, but I can most certainly make informed claims about how widespread anti-semitism is in present day Europe compare to other forms of Racism against minorities and how right now claims of anti-semitism are vastly (tens of thousands, maybe millions of times) more often thrown around than for example claims of āRomaphobiaā even though the latter is vastly more common.
(And that overuse of āanti-semitismā has become much worse since Israel started itās latest Genocide).
And yeah, special attention towards specific ethnicities and the racial discrimination against them, but not others, not because of the intensity and damage of that discriminations is higher but simply because of the target being a specific race, is itself Racial Descrimination and hence Racism: the Nazis too practiced āpositiveā discrimination in favor of the āArian Raceā - itās not on the footsteps of Humanists you are walking, itās on a whole different kind of bootprint.
And definitelly I FULLY STAND BY MY WORDS that the Fascist Pigs supporting Israel and its actions by throwing accusations of anti-semitism around against critics of Israel and its actions are just present day Nazism supporters with a different list of ubermenschen - putting a dress and some lipstick on a Fascist Pig and claiming theyāre āleftiesā because now their Racial Discrimination is āpositiveā doesnāt make such creatures any less Fascist Pigs and what they wallow in any less disgustingly racist.
The moderator statement that, when one makes the point that the level of attention and alarm towards a form of discrimination should be proportional to its prevalence and the damage it causes and not be decided solely based on the which race is being targetted, is āCriticizing Jewish people as a wholeā, just confirms that they follow the full-blown Racist idea that protection is deserved or not based on ethnicity and some ethnicities are more deserving of protection than others.
They were pointing out European Jewry have been the go to chew toy and scapegoat for literal centuries, which was a major sociological factor that helped facilitate the holocaust. Some of that still clings.
This doesnāt negate the fact that many people treat Rrom like dogshit in this day and age, theyāre just pointing out thereās a reason why Jewish people are overwhelmingly the majority of holocaust victims
Itās been almost a century since the Holocaust and, as I said, from my own experience living all over Europe, things are not like that anymore in most of Europe (though I heard Hungary is still a shithole in that sense).
From all Iāve seen, the āgo to chew toy and scapegoatā these days just about everywhere in Europe is Muslims.
The Humanist point of view is that you go harder after the racial discrimination causing the most harm, and these days thatās not anti-semitism, so it logically follows that those people demanding that in the present day far more resources and attention are dedicated to anti-semitism than to those forms of Racial Discrimination which, right now, are causing far more harm and are more widespread, arenāt driven by a Humanist desire to reduce pain and harm (as if that was the case they would want even more help and attention for the even more damaging forms of Racial Discrimination), and hence the most likely explanation for their desire for such an unfair allocation of resources (especially unfair when contrasted with things like Romaphobia, and right now even more so Islamophobia due to the mass murdering along ethnic lines which is the Gaza Genocide) is Racial Preference and Racial Discrimination, or in other words, Racism.
This aligns to how the Jewish Supremacists - the Zionists - have infiltrated, subverted and weaponized the fight against anti-semitism (which is obvious to all in how criticism of Israel is repeatedly deemed āanti-semitismā, even codified as that in Law in some European countries) and turned it into a tool to advance their own malevolent supremacist ends: it makes sense that most of the push for keeping anti-semitism the form of Racial Discrimination that gets the most attention and resources is coming from the supremacists since that boosts their position, rather than from people genuinely concerned with the harm caused by anti-semitism, and a strategy of repeatedly pulling out the events of the Holocaust, almost a century ago, to guilt others into going along with that (even in the face what now seems like a new Holocaust, being commited by those very supremacists) is an obvious strategy, especially in places like Germany.
And in all this, out comes a moderator - in lemmy.world which has a history of supporting Israel in their Genocide - claiming that me pointing this out is me "Criticizing Jewish people as a wholeā.
Accusing people of being āAgainst the raceā when they donāt go along with oneās demands of extra attention for their claims of Racial Discrimination against that ethnic group, is EXACTLY the kind of reaction that Racial Supremacists have, as examplified by assorted White Supremacists, such as the KKK and the Afrikaaners in Apartheid South Africa who were prone to make wild exagerated claims of āattacks on Whitesā and would then, whenever these claims were challenged, accuse people of being āAgainst Whitesā.
Humanists fighting against Racism donāt accuse others of being āAgainst the raceā when they disagree, because they donāt look at it as races, they look at is as people being made to suffer by others who use Race as an excuse.
Dude. Donāt unload on me.
Antisemitism is on the rise in Europe including antisemitic violent crimes. You try down downplay and distract from that by sealioning about Antiziganism.
