I mean "leftist organization" is a weird term and I would more speak of currents. And there is definitely the Antideutsche or Anti-Germans. The German left, at least the loud one, is publically dividing between this topic. On demonstration you see a lot of people openly supporting Hamas, wearing the red triangle etc. For me it is only natural to fight this form of anti semitism. That makes you ...

ask an anti german what they think of muslims in the middle east :) it'll be the most misanthropic thing you heard all day.
anti germans are disgusting zionists and need to be shunned from leftist places. they are pro-genocide and there is no nuance to it. they are not part of the left, just delusional cosplayers

What I think they meant was that people here only think about the genocide and thus declare the perpetrators evil (which they are) and the victims the good guys (hamas are not). One side's atrocities don't justify the other side's. Excusing your own group's actions because they're the good guys is far right thinking. In reality there's more factors to this than just the genocide, and both hamas...

declare the perpetrators evil (which they are)

Correct.

and the victims the good guys (hamas are not)

You're wrong, Hamas are in fact "the good guys" in this conflict. The resistance to the genocidal settler state are good even if they don't measure up to whatever arbitrary standard of perfection you have in mind.

One side’s atrocities don’t justify the other side’s. Excusing your own group’s actions because they’re the good guys is far right thinking.

Bullshit framing designed to try to equate between the invading settler state (with overwhelming firepower) and the (often barely adult) native resistance just trying to survive and protect their homes.

In reality there’s more factors to this than just the genocide, and both hamas and israel are the bad guys in their own way. One is just worse than the other, but that doesn’t make the other good.

"Hemming and hawing over genocide is disgusting."

A simplified world view is really tempting sometimes. What if I told you that fighting anti semitism and being pro genocide are two things that can be distinguished from each other?

tying the criticism of pissraeli state with antisemitism in general is antisemitic.
"my fellow jewish people must be supportive of a genocidal settler colonial state" is a bad look that'll bite the propagandists in the ass in the future and i feel sorry for the jewish people getting caught ip in that.

Liberals calling anarchists tankies would be funny if it weren't such a damning statement on their own political literacy. I guess it is a little funny, but still…

Tankie is when you are left to Dick Chaney's children for such people.

Allegations of genocide

International recognition

Map showing that very few countries recognize this as a genocide.

As I said, by treating this as equivalent to the near universally recognized genocide in Gaza, you are engaging in a form of genocide denial. Funny, the map of (the very few) countries that recognize this has a large overlap with the map of countries that do the same form of denial with the Holocaust.

Seriously, imagine typing "there is often only 'anti genocide and pro genocide' in online discussions" and thinking "yes, I will post this and look like a very good and moral person". Yes, if you're not against genocide you're for genocide. Yes, if you think supporting the resistance to genocide is antisemitic, you are a genocidal zionist. This type of "nuanced" "anti-zionism" (liberal zionism)...

By fucking german law at that. And they enforce it too. Never again, as defined by nihlists with no soul serving the plutocracy while the far right takes their country from them and fixes elections while they are busy surrendering their people to tech.

This is a Zionist defense of Israel by conflating antisemitism with anti-Zionism.

I think they're German, conflating antisemitism with anti-zionism is their favorite excuse for why this genocide will finally be the good one.

Henry Morgenthau Apology Form. To: Henry Morgenthau. From: Blank. Date: Blank. 6 checkboxs are shown with text besides them: "The media convinced me Germans could be trusted with a state." "I didn't watch the actual war." "I miss the Kingdom of Prussia." "I don't know how much Germans love genocide." "I was jealous of Soviet influnce gains." "Mercury was in retrograde." A checkbox with the text "I will hereby respect Henry Morgenthau and I will NOT talk down on the future first-ballot Hall Of Famer."

Sadly, this meme remains ever relevant.

I see where you are going. Well, how anti Zionism and antisemitism are interconnected is subject to the current scientific debate and I won't start a fundamental discussion on this topic with you. What is important for me in the end is, that I am standing against the left that is openly sympathizing with the Hamas.

The modern left-right discourse is just so confusing to me.

I've seen authoritarians, supporters of war crimes, and support for terrorism and cruelty, all claimed as leftist positions. I can't reconcile them with what I thought left-wing values were about.

I really think we need something with more dimensions to be popularized. The left-right system is just so loaded at this point. I personally can't identify with either side at all.

It's a pretty emotional topic for a lot of people, so I'm not surprised. Still, I'd advise everyone who downvotes to at least take a look at what the other side has to say. This thread has a feddit.org mod comment on the situation: https://sh.itjust.works/post/55149672

I have downvoted. You are a zionist defending genocidal pedo murders and your opinion is disregarded. You do not deserve any reply but just to be bullied. Fascist cunt fuck.

In this particular conflict, Hamas very much are the good guys (if we have to think in such childish terms) in the same way that the allies were the good guys in World War 2 despite the fact they were mostly genocidal empires themselves. Hell, Hamas are far less evil than almost every western government, especially the German one, because they aren't actively supporting mass genocide.

You condemn all groups actually fighting against Isreals genocide. That is just supporting the Genocide with extra steps

Sometimes the further left extremes I've heard hear are indistinguishable from conservative Q-Anon. I legitimately need to check users post histories to understand which extreme they are on

It's very easy to distinguish if you actually act in good faith, which you clearly don't

Just because lemmy is decentralized doesn't mean it doesn't for echochambers. I mean look at ml. Or look at what squid did as a moderator to worldnews and political memes. Echo chambers are absolutely a thing on lemmy. They exist at different scales (instance, sub, individual) but they absolutely exist.

I mean look at ml.

You mean the place constantly flooded by disagreeing liberals? Let's be honest here; by "echo chamber" you just mean "place where my ideology isn't the default"
