Over 150,000 citizens have left the country in the past two years alone — many of them with a one-way ticket and no plans of returning.

    This is how we defeat the Jewish Agency for Israel. Make it antizionist praxis to genuinely welcome migrating Israelis and to encourage diaspora Jews to not do Aliyah (Why move to an apartheid hellhole? Here in [insert your country] is a lovely and safe place to flourish as a Jew!). It’s a double win: you get a good friend and neighbour, and the palestinians get one less colonizer to worry about!

    EDIT: Added benefit: you piss the fuck out of far right asshats in your country.

    Dear Jews, ever heard the saying that regular Muslims need to speak out against extremists? C’mon Jews, speak up! Don’t abandon ship now. You see how difficult it is to stand up to this bullshit? You see how easy it is to fall for a Reichstag fire event? Fucking speak up! They’re not gonna listens to other people. They likely won’t listen to you if you’re Jewish either. But you have the best chance at not getting bulldozed.

      C’mon Jews, speak up!

      Have you been around the last couple of years? From Naomi Klein and Mahsa Gessen to Omer Bartov and Gabor Maté, Jewish intellectuals have been major voices against the genocide. And organizations like JVP and IJV in different countries, have been doing immense legwork and organizing. Not to mention the Refuseniks in Israel, and organizations like Standing Together.

      If you haven’t heard Jews speaking up, you haven’t been paying attention.

    This is also at a time where they must know that many places they are not as welcome as they used to be.
    Personally I have no issues with Jews outside Israel, because the vast majority of them are clearly against how Israel is handling things in Gaza. But I know people that have great difficulty making that distinction. Especially among Arabs, they almost universally hate the Jews.

      It’s really difficult to check on this, but it wouldn’t surprise me if antisemitism is actually increasing. The thing is that the zionists are screaming from the rooftops that anything anti-Israeli government is antisemitism. They are watering down the term to the point of being meaningless. I can’t imagine where to even start on finding data on real antisemitism at this point. If anyone is aware of a trustworthy source I’m all ears.

        I can only say that from what I hear on the news, and what I see here on Lemmy, and what I hear from people I know and meet. The picture is the same, Israel is pretty universally hated for their war crimes in Gaza, and to some degree that carries over to non Israeli Jews. I think most people at least here in Europe are beginning to understand that the terrorist attack on Israel, that made this blow up ,was an act of desperation.

      Not so in Australia there was a huge political movement by Israeli Advocacy groups against Australia’s Green Party during the last federal election for thenm speaking up for Paleystibe and being anti genocide.

      In my experience that’s not the case. But your mileage may vary. And make sure you have your adjectives right. Jew and Israeli are not the same thing. In any case crushing antisemitism outside of Israel is a huge step to defeating Zionism.

        I obviously and very specifically was talking about Jews of Israel about those leaving, and not Israelis in general.
        The latter part about Arabs hating Jews, that is Jews in general.
        I would think the context made that reasonably clear. My comment has nothing to do with any other demographic of Israel.

        74% of the Israeli population are Jews.
