A pro-Palestine Jewish activist group has had its bank account frozen in Germany for the second time in seven years, after the bank requested a full list of its members’ details in what experts believe is a breach of German law. The group suspects the move was triggered by its involvement in a forthcoming pro-Palestine conference that has attracted intense scorn from the German mainstream.

              Thare might be civilaian casualties but that happens with any and all milltary incursions also Israel gave ample warning for pepole to leave the war zone before the fighting started i don’t think hamas gave any warning when they started bombing all what about all the casualties of the 20+years of constant missile attacks and thos who were brutly murderd by hamas

      To me, the thing that makes this statement particularly ironic is that the dictionary definition of “Semite” includes just about anyone of middle-eastern descent. As such, purely based on the dictionary definition of “Semite”, it is Israel who is being antisemitic for conducting a genocide against Palestine.

      Granted, the specific definition of “antisemitic” only includes Jews, but imo that’s an oversight that should be corrected.

        Look and see mean roughly the same thing. Overlook and oversee have opposite meanings. Then there is oversight…

        Such a weird language.

          Overlook and oversee can have the same meaning. It depends on the context and the intent of the speaker.

          It’s Latin, Greek, Germanic, and a whole bunch of other shit just thrown into a pot. Raise to boil, let simmer, and season with regional slang no one fucking understands to your tasting.

            The best way I like reminding myself of this is by thinking of the words “noir” and “choir”.

        People get very angry when you point out that Arabs are Semites. I saw someone claim that it’s like a gotcha argument from a 10 year old lol.
