“Funny” has a much broader connotation than what you’re suggesting. In this case it’s funny because the truth doesn’t align with what is expressed by his critics.
Funny as in it’s a commentary on how so many people equate criticism of Israel to anti-Semitism, like how the person I replied to pointed out. I know it’s dangerous, I know Jews around the world are suffering the repercussions of Israel’s actions and a lot them are speaking up against it.
Getting really old and also going to backfire spectacularly. Israel has pretty much completely lost support of younger Americans (can’t speak for UK). Once those younger generations age into politically power, we’re going to see a major shift.
In Europe i haven’t met anyone in my circle of friends and extended circle who doesn’t completely hate Israel and zionism. I don’t push my views on anyone, especially the younger teen family members, but i was pleasantly surprised to see them saying they were going to an anti israeli protest.
The only people who currently have any support for Israel are boomers and even they are going from “supporting Israel right to exist” to “everyone is in the wrong” stage right now. This is highly anecdotal at this point but i hope we’re seeing a shift to acknowledging evil where evil is.
Netanyahu has done a lot to help the world see this propaganda game for what it is. Not worth genocide, but it’s a slight silver lining. The “criticism is antisemitism” strategy won’t work forever for Israel.
Another case of criticizing Israel == anti-Semitism
This is getting really old.
Funny part is that he is Jewish and grew up in Israel.
Whose parents survived the Holocaust.
“Never forget.”
At least there’s some people who properly understood that lesson from our dark history.
I know you don’t actually find it funny, but the censorship is very worrying.

It’s not funny. It’s dangerous. Dangerous for Jews like him and for Jews like me.

I just hate it. Israel has made my life more dangerous than any modern Hitler-lover.

Nah, there is simply too much money involved. And sadly money influences absolutely everything from politics, moral decisions, war warfare, etc.
You mean criticizing Israel = Terrorism
He was arrested over “Terrorism”

Also, I bet you’re a programmer.
