    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.

                  Saying the thing out loud would defeat the purpose of a dog whistle. That’s the beauty of it, the deniability.

                    Of course, that’s how the right wingers take over the discourse of a topic. That’s what happened to Pepe for example. It was a cute webcomic, that became a meme, that became a dogwhistle and now it’s just a nazi symbol. You can’t use pepe anymore without it being very clear that you’re a nazi. But we’re not gonna cede antizionism to the right wing. If people are serious about fighting antisemitism they need to make sure they know who their fighting, it includes zionists who fund and help out antisemitic causes to force jews to move to Israel so they can settle their frontier. And they need to make sure that they have their priorities in order, because right now islamophobia is a bigger threat than antisemitism.

                    The occupation regime of west palestine (and I’m using the whole phrase not just because it abbreviates to orowpa, which sounds like europa where the zionists actually come from, but also because “zionist occupation regime” is that well established a nazi dog whistle) is a greater more powerful threat than any antisemitic nazi group out there. So we’re not gonna tone down our antizionism in order to avoid every antisemitic dog whistle out there, because

                    a) they’re constantly evolving, it’s impossible to keep track of every single one
                    b) by their nature need a wide berth, diluting the message. Being punchy, being direct carries weight and having to constantly talk about how you don’t mean jews in general centers jews in a discussion about how a jewish supremacist ethnostate is trying to wipe out the palestinians. The palestinians need to be at the center here, not westerners. Jew or gentile.
                    c) the zionists will read every criticism of them as anti-semitic anyway

                    Antisemitism is becoming a cudgel, used to tone down and silence antizionism and you can thank the zionists for that. So be careful of who you’re accusing of antisemitism lest it become completely meaningless and ask yourself why would someone try to covertly signal their antisemitism on lemmy? To what end?
