so many ppl happily shared analysis of why JKR played on antisemitic tropes that were historically used to kill Jews.
And then those same people did stuff like share an unconfirmed story that Israel bombed a hospital just bc Hamas said they did, refuse to correct themselves when it turned out that actually the hospital parking lot (not the hospital) was accidentally hit by a rocket fired by Hamas not Israel, and then used that lie to whip up hatred and violence against Jews around the world who have nothing to do with Israel or Palestine OR Hamas.
ok but the whiplash of ppl being all up in arms about antisemitic undertones in a stupid video game but then refusing to say a word about a literal global pogrom and happily reblogging antisemitic lies really takes performative activism to the next level huh?
i mean i was not the biggest fan of the antisemitic undertones of the stupid video game bc i think excusing that makes it easier to excuse bigger things. but yeah i definitely notice when gentiles who are very outspoken abt antisemitism in media do a complete 180 when the antisemitism is happening to real jews in real life. like cool you value me less than your blorbo who you have headcanoned as a jew. love it.
#also. not to detract from the antisemitism discussion but doing that is hugely harmful to palestine.#sharing misinformation that gets debunked makes it harder for people to be believed when sharing REAL things that affect palestine.#Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. Hamas seized power afterwards. Hamas brutally oppresses Palestinians. Then Hamas carried out a terrorist#attack in Israel. and your response to that was rallies shouting free Palestine in response to the terror attack. before Israel even did#anything to respond. That doesn't help Palestine. That just associates the whole pro palestine movement with antisemitism and terrorism.#which is harmful to Palestinian causes and puts Palestinian people at risk. Like. you are literally supporting racist anti palestinian and#islamaphobic rhetoric with your actions.#and you're also speaking over the many Palestinians who are risking their lives to condemn hamas. are there palestinians#and “pro palestinian” organizations that support hamas? sure. just like there are americans#and allegedly “pro american” organizations that support the KKK or Trump. it doesn't mean those orgs#speak for all americans or are actually helping the US.#stop elevating those harmful propagandistic messages. and don't allow them in any events#to support palestine.#antisemitism#my additions
