Anti-Semitism

[wonko the sane?]

I mean, you could make the argument that judas is at fault since he betrayed jesus's location to the romans in the first place.

Wasn't judas baptized by the last supper though? I don't remember.

Of course is was MTG who said that. Aren't these the same people who say that boycotting Tesla should be illegal, though?

Oh yeah, because we buy so much stuff that's made in Israel.

But Tesla is owned by one of theirs, so boycotting it is bad. Their only standards are double standards, after all.

You probably used 3 or 4 Israeli products to post that.

Intel's Core series of processors were originally designed in Israel. Not sure if that's the case anymore, but I'm sure Intel still pays a design team there. Israel has a rather strong technology design industry, even if the final products are often manufactured elsewhere.

Gary Lineker ‘to leave the BBC this week’ after antisemitism row

Presenter expected to host his last Match of the Day on Sunday and will not front 2026 World Cup coverage

www.theguardian.com

So, a former footballer turned TV presenter reposted a post containing an old antisemitic trope, namely the comparing of Jewish people to rats. He’s resigning early from the BBC to save face. This could’ve all been avoided – I mean, yet again, why can’t people learn to express their feelings about the situation in Gaza without leaning into antisemitism?

(Also, general reminder to always check what you repost on social media. Particularly if you’re a public figure.)

And it’s not like the rat was even hidden in the video. It was shown on the static thumbnail before you even pressed play.
