          I tend to read entire words at a time, and doing that your brain only really checks the first letter, last letter, and that most of the rest of the letters are actually there. That can be tolerant of mistakes like “raeding” or even “hte” but unexpected words or misspellings caused by touch screen keyboards make you stop and revert back to other, slower methods.

          I always find it odd how people take this kinda thing as an insult. “I can’t read what you wrote because it has too many errors” is, like, one of the first things you encounter when learning to write. It’s just a simple statement of fact. Cool it.

              Okay? Everyone should proofread their stuff. Why does it matter If the person who says so makes a typo? They should proofread too. Proofread your stuff, or accept that people might not understand what you’re trying to say when you don’t.

            Yeah I don’t get it. I didn’t call them stupid. It’s not that they didn’t know how to spell anything, they clearly just mistyped a decent number of letters. It just needed a quick proofread.

      How fucking hard is it to understand that not all Jewish people are pro-genocide zionists?

      Get it through your thick skull.

        I see OPs insane downvotes so to also get in on some of that action, it’s statistically a much higher chance that a non religious is a zionist lol.

        sorry, i thought it’s memes community and we’re joking here, maybe get that stick out of your ass? I’m perfectly aware that not every Jew is pro-genocide, just like not every Jew is a business man with money (like on the picture), i also differentiate between Jews and Zionists, like the guy in the other comment, i’m pro Palestine but i also follow some Hasidic Jews online, so i’m perfectly aware Jews are a diverse group of people with multiple world views

          Mind you, this has been actively promoted by Israel and several major NGOs who have been arguing (incorrectly) for decades that Israel and Judaism are essentially identical.

          That doesn’t make it true but it’s still a meme (in the sociological sense) that has been well established for quite some time.

            Antisemitism is as old as time and it’s getting a push from several sides. I defend none of the players in the middle east, antisemitism has gotten an enormous boost through social media (here on lemmy too.) the only effect is that as a normal jewish person you get confronted even more with all types of hate and prejudice.

              Yes, absolutely. Antisemitism is pretty much the classical case for an entire group of people getting lumped together, othered, and loaded with all sorts of negative stereotypes that are then used as justification for actions against them.

              The point I wanted to contribute is that the state of Israel and its various advocacy groups have contributed significantly to this by continually arguing in bad faith that any criticism of their behavior is equivalent to antisemitism. This has established in the public conscience the incorrect notion that Israel represents all jews and that their actions reflect upon all of them.

              That was bad enough when Israel was locked in a morally complex struggle with the Palestinians. Plenty of shit happened then that many jews didn’t agree with and weren’t happy to be associated with via Israel’s rhetoric. But now the conflict has escalated to a point where Israel’s behavior goes well past any notion of acceptability.

              And the rhetoric that any criticism of this is antisemitic persists. Advocacy groups spend big money to convince the world that opposing the genocide in Gaza is equivalent to hating jews. Combine that with the onslaught of right-wing propaganda on social media and yeah, it’s no wonder antisemitism is on the rise.

          Genocide denying Hasbarist or just ignorant?

          Because there’s more Evangelical Christian Zionists than Jewish Zionists, and many if not most prominent Anti-Zionists are Jewish people themselves.

          That is true, but that is not at all what I got from this comment. The context in the meme is someone assuming a jewish steroetype. The comment was contuing that line of false assumptions and connecting it to current affairs. The joke being that mainstream (right wing) media is often replacing “jew” with “zionist” like it’s the most normal thing inthe world, while in fact it is not, as you and others have pointed out. The current affair in question is obviously the war in israel.
