    Israel is an illegitimate, genocidal state. Zionists want to spread the antisemitic lie that all Jewish people support their evil, and you’re helping them do that.

    Fuck you for implying that I support genocide because of my blood.

      Agreed.

      Agreed.

      and you’re helping them do that

      Potentially inadvertently, due to a false belief. I had falsely believed that calling Jews “dogs” was a long anti-Semitic tradition. I did more research and discovered that actually historically they were called rats and lice and very few examples exist of anti-semitics tropes comparing Jews and dogs.

      The most salient example of that was an American trend to hang a sign on your shop that said “No Jews or dogs allowed”, but that doesn’t meet the standard of what I had believed.

      Had you said “Israel is a plague of rats that needs to be exterminated”, I believe I would have been justified in calling you out for using a dogwhistle. As it stands, however, I was wrong.

      Fuck you for implying that I support genocide because of my blood.

      I don’t know what your blood is, so rest assured I implied nothing due to it.

      Additionally, I had no intention of implying you supported genocide. My intention was to accuse you of using dangerous language to express your perfectly valid point. Again, I was wrong about my beliefs of the history of those words.

      I apologize.
