    Shomrim, a Jewish community policing network in north London, said the men’s treatment “bears all the hallmarks of targeted antisemitism”.

    “Targeted.” LMFAO. Yeah. I bet the person at the check-in counter pressed the “Jewish customer” button as soon as he saw their last names.

    I know this feeling. When I am driving around and I see

    It really pisses me off that they would accuse me, a perfect driver, of murdering children. Can’t believe the city believes and promotes stereotypes that certain people can’t drive by deliberately putting this trash right where I am going!!

    the western media’s going to keep this up and eventually there’s going to be turbo genocide against the jews since the average normie thinks that the jews, as a monolith, love genocide actually desolate

    in fact once isntrael is finally brought down the west will 1000% blame “the jews” for everything

      I was talking to a USA Democrat relative and she told me that watching Israel’s actions had made her start to get angry when she saw Jewish people. And that she “knows about the holocaust and all that” but that she “doesn’t feel sorry for them anymore” because what they’re doing in Palestine is wrong. I was surprised that she was self-aware enough to realize she was developing a strong anti-Jewish prejudice, but also that she seemingly was okay or even proud of her prejudice. I tried to talk her out of it but she basically clammed up when I started talking about her duty as a person to counteract the prejudice.

      Ultimately, it exposed some of the inner workings when someone is developing a prejudice. They go through life with a simple, wrong heuristic, assigning humans to groups and making them collectively liable for actions of their group. That group is then judged as “good” and worthy of praise, or “bad” and worthy of scorn. It’s not complicated stuff but it is shameful and common.

        Fuck I have seen it happening both on this site and lemmygrad, and some motherfuckers still say shit like “antisemitism isn’t a real thing anymore”. Hell looks like it’s happening in this fucking thread.
