      I don’t know if I should. Because a dog whistle’s nature entails that they’re so very easily excusable as misunderstandings and “not what I meant at all, gosh golly” and conversations with people who use them devolve into shouting matches EVERY TIME and I don’t know if I’m up for that right now.

        Dog whistles are commonly known and when searching for them the first thing which will usually pop up is an explanation of the dog whistle.

        Unless you’re implying it’s antisemitic to relate Israel to mass surveillance and spying I’m not sure what angle you’re going for.

          I am not implying that. I’ve known since EARLY LIFE the difference between what people do and what a government does.

            so you meant antizionistic? in which case you can say that out loud. the difference is that zionism (the behaviour) is something that its perpetrator willingly chose to perform, can regulate and can be both bad and criticized.

            semitism (an act of being a jew) is not something you control and not something that would hurt anyone and is therefor considered shitty move to criticize and attack in civilized society.

                so you are going to juggle with terms you don’t seem to understand very well, refuse to explain yourself and die on the “you know what i said” hill? good luck with that.

        You can’t just claim to see something nobody else has any idea what you’re talking about and then not elaborate on what you mean.

          The person I’m talking to knows what I’m talking about. That’s enough for me.

            How do you know they know what you’re talking about? Did you DM them? Their public comments would seem to suggest the opposite, and I have no idea what you’re talking about

              What do you think the title of the original post means? Why would they title it “every time”? What happens “every time”?

                  That’s understandable, I’m not here to fight with you, I’m here to tell OP that their dog whistle was heard. If you’re interested further, ask your preferred search engine about Wikipedia’s “early life”.

                    Ok but is he saying “jewish” or “israeli”? This is not like pointing out that someone has jewish heritage, because the guy still is pissraeli. Because pissraelis in silicon valley businesses is objectively a really common theme, not because of anything to do with jewishness, but because the pissrahelli ties to the US bourgeoisie and their need to establish direct control over the means of production.
