Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Didn't really address the argument. It's not out of context and Google is free.
Your other argument is that it's a slippery slope between not supporting a genociding ethnostate and not liking minorities in your own nation? Maybe when you're an ethnonationalist. Do you think Lemmy is majority ethnonationalist? Are you one? Ironically it's almost explicitly ethnonationalists that do support Israel because they can see the narrative of a, "successful ethnostate" as a justification for having their own, usually white Christian, version.
I have no idea where you're seeing rampant antisemitism from the left, I highly highly suspect it's actually from the right and you're being bamboozled. If anything we often ignore the fact that there's majority support for Israel amongst Jews because we understand there's also a lot of jews standing strong against the genocide and we don't want to antisemetically lump them all in the way people who talk like you often do, where you're cagey about insulting a nation state to spare the feelings of Jewish supremacists or god forbid Jews who just like the place (I wonder why). I can freely say "fuck jewish supremacists" knowing anyone who would read between the lines to more than supremacists is not arguing in good faith anyways. Being a liberal identity politics obsessive person sounds EXHAUSTING dude.
