Let's be clear. Anti-Semitism, which is a hatred rooted in ethnic or religious reasons, is evil. However, disagreement with the political and military actions of the modern state of Israel is not that.

@BackwardsFeet A distinction without a difference. Claiming to support Jews, while at the same time opposing Israel is the same as Supporting Jim Crowe and claiming to not be Racists. Put another way, using the logic of "My Struggle" as Catholic teaching is misguided at best.

@BackwardsFeet Of course, Fr. Paul, but what is also true is that there are people who will use such disagreements as a way to obscure their hatred. This is nothing new. The same old Jew hatred only people are a little more sophisticated these days.

@BackwardsFeet It sounds like you are trying to excuse the rising antisemitism amongst some members of the Church. As a Catholic myself, it has been breaking my heart. Please don't try to deny that it is happening.

@BackwardsFeet And yet it’s fruit of the same poisoned tree. Don’t excuse it.

@BackwardsFeet Absolutely no one hates Jews for being Jewish.

@BackwardsFeet Why do we have to clarify what 1st graders already know? We’re adults. We don’t hate people because they’re different. We love our enemies. Makes sense. But can we drop the albatross around our necks and proceed with the natural reaction to being targeted by crazy people?

@BackwardsFeet Damn the Jews for refusing to be destroyed by Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran after Oct, 7. I don't know, Fr., but that sounds a lot like it has firm roots in anti-Semitism.

@BackwardsFeet Support of blatantly antisemitic systems And regimes is equally abhorrent! Would America have gone to war if Pearl harbour had only been 1200 (Oct7) instead of 2400? America killed more in 2 days in Japan than Israel has in 2.5 years! States kill people especially yours!

Correct. Most Jews are incredibly liberal (pro legal and illegal immigration) because they found themselves trapped in a hostile environment in the leadup to World War 2. They like freedom of movement and generous toleration outside of Israel, and an ethnostate in Israel. This is bad for whites, because Jews ensure their own safety at the expense of the homogeneity of white societies.

@BackwardsFeet It is absolutely permissible to be against talmudic judaism. It is a sin to hate someone for their ethnicity. It is not a sin to tell them that they have a false religion/ reject Christ in their belief.

@BackwardsFeet I don't know what it is about people that they can't believe that you can disagree with someone and not hate them.

@BackwardsFeet So are you claiming that Ashkenazis from Central Europe are Semites? Is accepting faulty and misleading premises the way towards truth? Do we have an obligation to call out word games?

@BackwardsFeet We need more of our faith leaders speaking out, thank you! 🙏🏻 🎚️ Christ is King 👑 🎚️🙏🏻

Strawman argument. Almost nobody says that criticising the Israeli government's domestic or foreign policy is antisemitic - the Israelis themselves are probably their own government's loudest critics by far. What IS antisemitic is to hold Israel to a hypocritically different standard from other countries, including your own and including their enemies. And THAT is what we are calling out the antisemitism for.

@BackwardsFeet If everything that you say comes from the Bible and comes from the spirit of God, then please start posting scripture. Not taking one piece of scripture out of context, but start using the Bible and all Scripture to defend what you are saying.

@BackwardsFeet Hating Israel and calling for its destruction because it’s a safe location for Jews is antisemitism
