Thee antisemitic tropes from this hateful/harassing post to a Jew:

- Secret government control
- A made up claim that even if he can't prove it "some of them"
- Blood Libel
- Using "Free Palestine" as an attack against Jews rather than a proclamation of desire to help the Palestinian people is both antisemitic and also anti-Palestinian

@serge Man the fediverse is just hellbent on not disappointing us isn't it?

@serge One point I'll respond to:

Some of these businesses may be materially supporting the IDF, and the Israeli military is committing genocide in Palestine.

Anthony specifically mentions Michael Solomonov, who donated all of his restaurant group's profit for one day, "over $100,000, to United Hatzalah, an Israeli medical non-profit that has supplied the Israel Defense Forces with protective and medical gear during the current war against Hamas." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/dec/08/michael-solomonov-philadelphia-restaurant-israel-antisemitic-protest

That's not made up.

the Guardian

A protest against a top Israel-born chef was called antisemitic. Staff tell a different story

Michael Solomonov’s Israel-inspired restaurant empire has come under scrutiny by pro-Palestinian protesters, who accuse him of complicity in attacks on Gaza

@serge Our server has a clear policy against genocide denial, which we have long enforced against Holocaust denial, and which we have updated to include denial of the genocide in Palestine: https://opencollective.com/jawnsclub/updates/coc-update-no-genocide-denial

I suspect that friction between our communities boils down to disagreement on this basic fact of genocide.

CoC update: no genocide denial - Jawns.Club

Today we are updating our Code of Conduct to ban genocide denial in general, not only Holocaust denial in particular. There have been many genocide...

@serge I won't defend this specific protest, I don't know enough. But what Anthony is saying is that the concept of boycotting businesses that support genocide is valid, and I agree with that. Especially if it's material support, not just words.

Israel was an apartheid state before it was a genocidal state, and maybe if the world had done a better job of holding Israel accountable, like the sanctions against South Africa, the genocide in Gaza might have been averted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_sanctions_during_apartheid
