i understand the context, but it’s still a strategic mistake to do what the zionists want. it’s not about blame, pedantry, or moralism it’s about rejecting the zionist framing and not supporting their claims.

White feelings > lives of the people considered expendable to the empire. Every damn time.

When Jewish supremacists are doing a Jewish supremacist apartheid with the goal of creating a Jewish ethnostate that dehumanizes, displaces, and destroys countless Indigenous cultures with the ultimate aim of genocide, then somehow the victims of that colonial monstrosity are expressing bigotry by cursing their Jewish oppressors.

As if the history of European anti-Semitism is now the sin of the Ummah, and they must atone for the crimes of white colonizers. Projection of guilt through and through.

Complete lack of understanding racism as systemic, too. As though the oppressor is being reverse-oppressed through prejudiced language by the oppressed, a thing they will performatively claim to understand does not exist when people of colour insult white people. (Or queers curse straights, or women curse men, or the Irish curse Brits)

It is not antisemitic because antisemitism no longer exists as a form of systemic oppression

This is a crass generalization made to just to play with words to make excuses.

Jews are not a race

Obviously

nor are they an ethnicity

Ridiculous. They are a group of ethnicities, and while some ancestrally Jewish populations are so assimilated into other groups that they really aren’t a distinct ethnicity anymore, that’s not true universally even in America (where generally they are extremely assimilated).

To do politeness finger wagging to a people who have suffered genocide at the hands of Jewish settlers, US imperialists and gulf compradors is an insult to their intelligence and to their humanity.

I’m not saying shit about them, let alone to them, I’m talking about this website.

and all you can think about is how a Jewish person’s feelings might be hurt.

If you enjoy playing mind-reader, that’s fine, but don’t rope me into your fantasy roleplay.

This doesn’t contribute anything. It doesn’t present very much new information relative to other answers and is also irrelevant on the basis that I said nothing about condemning (for example) the Houthis and indeed support their actions in fighting Israel. I have not directed criticism at them (even though we shouldn’t be using a moralizing reasoning of giving people a status above being criticized), my complaint was solely about having this banner as an emoji. There are other Houthi (etc.) symbols that we can use if that’s your interest, and if it isn’t then why even bring this up?

The cry universally used by the resistance is that to you now lmao gotta phone Ansar Allah real quick. Like hello_hello previously said:

"“Al Sarkha” or “the collective outcry” from Ansar Allah was modeled after revolutionary Iran and adopted in 2003, right after POTUS Bush Junior’s invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the Palestinian second intifada. The line “Curse upon the the Jews” has drawn ire from international audiences for being antisemitic.

It is not antisemitic because antisemitism no longer exists as a form of systemic oppression. Judaism has been subsumed by the white supremacist settler class system as Christianity has been. Jews are not a race nor are they an ethnicity and to say so is to directly support Israel’s myth of existence which is predicated on the revisionist history of Judaism as well as the centrality of the European Jewish experience above all others.

To do politeness finger wagging to a people who have suffered genocide at the hands of Jewish settlers, US imperialists and gulf compradors is an insult to their intelligence and to their humanity.

Incredible how we are on a thread detailing the murder of an innocent baby girl with her grandfather and all you can think about is how a Jewish person’s feelings might be hurt."

Wtf is wrong with you that you’d rather police the language of genocide victims and survivors over nearly 200 little girls murdered in a day?

What if it was actually meant to be read as “Death to Israel” -> “A curse upon the Jews” referring to how Israel is a curse on Jews everywhere who have been pulled into its orbit of settler colonialism just by existing?

The slogan is from 2003 and is no longer primarily used today (instead being superseded by “America is the mother of all terrorism”), you had over 20 years to say “hey what the fuck” but specifically it had to be right now. The Sarkha was being posted during the ongoing genocide of Palestine after the Al Aqsa flood with the same translation.

If I didn’t even provide a translation would you even have noticed? Maybe I should have censored the translation and said “Curse upon the Jews of Israel” and not have presented Yemeni victimization as it was back then.

Have you considered that your position comes from one assuming that the people engaging in this rhetoric are European and not themselves victim of the Jewish supremacist project? That telling people online this language is not okay for them, but understandable for “those people” is a way of reinforcing that this space is not for “those people,” and instead it is a space for white Americans and Europeans? That you already assumed that “those people are not the ones reading this,” once again universalizing American experience and relegating the experience of people elsewhere as an exotic other that must not exist in your space?

That if you, as a white American, feel uncomfortable using that language you could simply not use it yourself, knowing that for you it carries the burden of a history of anti-Jewish pogroms? A history that is not a burden for the Jewish supremacist apartheid state’s victims to carry and shoulder the guilt of?
