    There is a lot of antisemitic views these days

    A bowl of fruit doesn’t really qualify no matter how you spin it. Also criticizing Israel does not mean criticizing all Jewish people. The Jewish faith is getting pulled into politics which really sucks for everyone who is not Israel. The current Israel administration likes to scream antisemitism for every bit of criticism. They are directly fueling antisemitic views.

      That’s their hope. The administrations of some governments are purposely doing moves to embolden terrorism, embolden racism, embolden hate. Then when someone with the wrong skin color does something terrible, they can say, “see? War were declared.” Let the wartime profits rain in!

      Jewish people are great, the people of Israel seem to be smart and clever, their engineering seems first-class. Their government? Up there with the USA Federal government on the list of terrible things that need to go away.

    Watermelons became symbols of Palestine amid censorship of the Palestinian flag because of its similar colours.

    Ah, ok - before reading I thought someone had got their stereotypes mixed up.

    I bet none of these “apolitical” organisations would act if someone displayed a Ukrainian flag and I bet none of them would claim it was potentially sensitive and offensive to Russians.

    Supporting Ukraine = nonpolitical

    Supporting Palestine = political

    Mega double standards when it comes to the two conflicts.

    (I am against the Russian invasion, just in case it seems otherwise)

      Ukrainian flag - not political. Russian flag - political.

      Israeli flag - not political. Palestinian flag - political.

      I think that’s the point of the lawsuit. You can’t claim you’re “completely apolitical and non-biased” when you actually support one side of a conflict and punish your employees who support the other side.

    Imagine being so racist that you get upset over a watermelon.

    The same people that think not murdering babies is antisemitic

      It is a little funny to me that the extreme right is being torn politically. On the one hand they hate Jewish people but on the other they don’t want left leaning politicians.

      It must be hard being a far right white supremacist.
