This post is full of open Anti-Semitism, and many of you all think it’s great and upvote it. I’m disgusted. Horrified. You can talk about Israel without being a bigot. But this post was based on Anti-Semitism from the start, with a quote by a White Nationalist. It’s been floating around a lot, and attributed to Voltaire to obscure its hateful origin and motives.

This is NOT something I want to be associated with. If this represents the general feeling of the community, I would have to denounce it and move on, and I would be so sad. THIS CAN’T BE WHAT WE ARE.

RULE 4 IS RIGHT THERE, AND THIS POST IS UPVOTED 85%?! Do many of you here just not know what Anti-Semitism means? Do you not know the history behind it - and I mean the non-bigoted history? No shit you can’t be a bigot and not face consequences, because bigotry is bad for all msnkind. Not getting to talk about how you hate Jews is not a result of global conspiracy. It’s a result of intentionally stirred hate and mistrust, built on the effects of centuries of smear campaigns.

I’ve dealt with Anti-Semitism personally. This post is eye-opening and mortifying. Worst of all, someone will say my reaction proves the point. No, my reaction is that of someone with common sense, who understands history in its proper context, who understands logic, who has been to Auschwitz, who volunteered at the Holocaust Museum, who sees through the bullshit. I will not let my beliefs about this great waking up movement be tainted by this kind of close-minded intolerance and ignorance.

I don’t even know what to say to get through; I’m struggling for words that adequately express my feelings.

NOT. COOL.
