    The far left has created a climate in which there is no consequence for antisemitism as long as the perpetrator is also anti-Israel.

      Israel, not the far left, has created the atmosphere itself by not obeying international laws, geneva convention or any other law that doesn’t benefit the zionist agenda.

        But calling Jews inbred is antisemitic.

        Just look at all of the supposed leftists refusing to distance themselves from this literal antisemitic jerk.

        As long as he is also anti-Israel people seem fine to defend him.

          He called ethno-religious and racial supremacists Israelis inbred not jews. I don’t like people calling other inbreed but it was not antisemitic

            No, he specifically called Jews who refused to join the IDF for religious reasons inbred. Watch the clip. But I guess keep defending it.

              He referred to those ultra-Orthodox sects who support the genocide but do not want to be part of the IDF from a position of privilege. This is similar to Trump avoiding the military draft for Vietnam, not because he opposed the war but because he didn’t want to sacrifice his life. He also apologized for using this world. While the UK is allowing people like Eric Zemour who believe in the grand replacement anti Muslims, immigrants and antisemite conspiracy theory and say that Muslims are colonizing Europe .

              The groups mentioned are Zionists groups defending Israel’s colonial policies and fighting anti genocide and colonization people . They defend israel military actions in Gaza and oppose BDS.

          He’s not Anti-Semitic, and has given many public speeches against Anti-Semitism. I think you need to do some more research and actually listen to him talk instead of making up stuff or repeating what someone else said about him.

      The term “antisemitism” has been thrown around so much by Netenyahu and his administration that it has lost all meaning. Much like the boy who cried wolf, the word has lost all meaning, especially so in a world where it is European colonial settler Jews like Netenyahu performing an active genocide against a Semitic population in the Palestinian people.

      Does this make the settler European ruling caste of Jews in Israel the real anti-Semites?

          What you are calling “religious Jews” are typically referred to as “ultra orthodox Jews”. These communities tend to not marry outside of their community leading to decreased genetic diversity and an increased number of recessive genetic conditions due to the created genetic bottlenecks. These communities have as a result had to resort to pre marital genetic screening services like Dor Yeshorim due to the high levels of local inbreeding in these communities.

          So Mr. Piker was not lying when he was referring to the high levels of inbreeding in these communities. You need to question why your anger has led you to jump to the accusation that this man is a racist when he was stating a well known fact. You can’t just go around accusing everyone you don’t like of being anti semites or racists because eventually you just look uneducated and reactionary.

          There are very real reasons to dislike Israel and Israeli people such as the current and historic genocide against the Palestinian people or their generally disgusting views when interviewed or questioned.

      I hate Nazis and their hate.

      I don’t have an issue with Jews.

      I don’t have an issue with the existence of Israel.

      I DO have an issue with Zionists who take what is not theirs, who kill to further their goals, and who manipulate for furthering their Agenda.

      That guy seems to share my views.

        I agree with you completely, other than the last line. This is a guy who is unapologetic about making bigoted statements about Jews. He was called out on it and doubled down.

        I am bothered by someone speaking out in the guise of being part of my movement thinking it’s fine to say things like that. I am even more bothered by apparent throngs of people who refuse to hold any accountability for antisemitic language repeated in YOUR name (specifically referring to Haredi/religious Jews as “inbred”)

          Why don’t you fully quote the line where he called Haredi Jews “inbred”? I’m curious about the context now that you’re saying it without any.

              I made the comment before I saw any of those. I just wanted the full quote, as you’d expect to get when someone is criticising someone else’s words.

      One can say the same for Israel Apologists. People who hate Muslims have created a climate in which there is no way to call out Israel’s atrocities without being accused of being an antisemite.
