Seeing Babka called “the Nazi instance” here on the Fediverse is painful. It is also fairly common. This should be obvious to everyone but I will spell it out: it is a vile expression of #antisemitism, and an attempt to demonize and exclude Jews from the community of Mastodon.

For all the valid criticism of #Israel 's wars, _please_ don't stoop to tired old antisemitic tropes of Israel/"The Jews" manipulating everyone into going along with them. There are plenty of _other_ reasons for other nations to go along with Israel beyond "The Jewish Conspiracy". A few examples:

- Conservatives in both Europe and North America are heavily invested in a "Clash of Cultures" narrative, with the "Christian West" against the "Muslim Hordes". They don't give a damn about Muslim lives - whether in #Gaza or elsewhere - and they are in favor of anything that inflames tensions between Muslims and everyone else - because that gives them a pretext for arguing that Muslims "don't belong" into Western Nations and eventually purge any Muslim residents.

- Special mention goes to certain strains of American Evangelicals who believe that Israel needs to be "restored in its historical borders" so that Jews will mass-convert to Christianity and another milestone is reached on the path to the End Times.

- And Saudi Arabia sees #Iran as a major regional rival (on top of the whole Sunni-Shiite conflict) and has found Israel a very useful partner in keeping them in check.

So yeah, assign blame to the Israeli government where it is due. But they are not the only ones with agency, and they have had a whole bunch of willing enablers. #antisemitism

Here's how I know if/when someone is antisemitic when it comes to Eurovision.

If they say "I want Israel removed from Eurovision until the blockade is removed"- that's not antisemitic.

If they say "I want Israel removed until there is a new ceasefire." - that is not necessarily antisemitic.

If they say "I want Israel removed from the contest next year." - that is antisemitic, because no one knows what the state of the war will be next year.

If they say "I want those bloodthirsty Zionists out of Eurovision." then that's just pure hate speech.

A lot of Jewish people hid their religion & their ethnicity after coming to the U.S. #AntiSemitism was not only in Germany, it was all over.

When you watch a #Superman movie or read the comics, you see a character created by two Jewish boys about a man from another world, with a secret identity, who puts on glasses and a suit to blend into the world around him.

That's who Superman is. He's the first-generation immigrant who was once called Kal-El, and is now Clark Kent.

But here's the important part:
NO ONE KNOWS his true identity.

He is a metaphor for so many first-generation Jewish people in the late 1800s/early 1900s, who hid their #Jewish #ancestry and changed their names to blend in.

Do you have Jewish ancestors? Look at your tree. Find the "Russian,” "Polish," “Ukrainian,” and "Czech" immigrants. Your Jewish ancestor probably comes from there. Research terms like "Shtetle" and "Pogroms."
