When you plaster this shit on Jewish-owned businesses ya that’s anti semitic.

Jews≠Israel so boycotting and blaming Jewish owned businesses because you’re angry at what Israel is doing is antisemitic. Jews are not a monolith. This is like targeting Chinese owned businesess with COVID conspiracies.

Y’all reactionaries are honestly just as dumb as MAGAts.

What makes you think it's plastered onto the business and not put up by the business-owners themselves?

Because this is Prochem Pharmacy in Avondale, Auckland. It’s a Jewish-owned pharmacy. The Jewish community in Auckland is small and tight-knit. Y’all chomping at the bit to direct your hate at the Jewish community and using Israel as an excuse. No different from MAGA.

Dude, can you at least do a bit of research first before clutching your pearls?

Bet he won't respond after this lol.

There can be Jews that are not Zionist? This business is Jewish owned, sure, but maybe they don't support the genocide of children.

So it's Jewish owned and you automatically assume that this never could have been put up by the owner because he's Jewish and of course has to support Israel? That's quite a bigoted conclusion of you.

I got a surprise for you, there's quite a bit of Jews actively speaking out against Israel current bombings of civilians.

What's yours? Are you suggesting Jewish folks can't stand against Israel?

Seems like you're doing exactly what you're accusing others of, here?

That means it's a Jewish owned business, but doesn't inform us whether or not the owners put up these signs (rather neatly).

To me, it looks like they're on the inside of the glass. So that's a pretty decent signal.

It's put up from the inside... did the antisemites walk in, moved the blinds, taped the messages, then put the blinds back?

These antisemites are getting smarter everyday. They hid the poster from the owners themselves who are obviously supporting their country committing genocide as every Jew should.

Jews aren't a monolith but they didn't put it up themselves because "they're tight-knit"

I would argue that the stance of "Jewish people think it's antisemitic to advocate for Palestinian civilians" is in fact actually antisemitic.

Are you going to apologize for making such a blatantly false claim? Or nah?

On a first sight it looks legit. I can’t find a website, but there is a "Prochem Pharmacy Avondale" facebook page. Since january 2022 it advertises products sold there, give aways and such. It could be that it does that longer and facebook just doesn’t show me all as a visitor without an account, not sure. The profile picture literally says "Free Palestine - End the occupation".

It is indeed possible that that’s a big false flag effort, but so far I have no reason to belief that.

So proof that you have no idea what you're talking about has been posted. Are you going to acknowledge it or just continue spreading anti-Palestine propaganda?

You sound like a pro-genocide jew.

There are plenty of anti-genocide jews.

I think the message of this post is pretty clear: it refers to simple fact that legitimate criticism of the actions of the state of Israel is quite often and often quite deliberately dismissed as anti-Semitism. That is ridiculous. There is nothing anti-Semitic about criticizing a state for its criminal actions. What is even more ridiculous is the attempt to even try and silence Jews who criticize the state of Israel with crude concepts such as Jewish self-hatred. This is not about religion, but about the rejection of crimes against humanity, for which not a religious community but a sovereign state is responsible.

Is that what's happening here though? I don't have any context for this and there's no obvious tell (that I could find) that the business is Jewish-owned and that it wasn't put up by the owner, just looks like a small business taking an anti-genocide stance to me.

If the context is what you're saying though, that's fucked. Jews deserve blame for the actions of the extremists running the Israeli state the way Christians deserve blame for the actions of MAGA - these fascist groups don't represent the religion or the people they're just wearing it as a hat.

EDIT: To the reader: I should have read farther, another reply chain provides context that

  1. this is in fact a Jewish-owned business, and

  2. this specific Jewish-owned business has expressed a pro-Palestine stance on its Facebook account (specifically, its pfp is a palestine flag overlaid with a raised fist encircled by the words "Free Palestine End The Occupation").

It seems very unlikely that this is a targeted act of hate, and PerogiBoi should be ashamed of themself for inventing a narrative out of whole cloth based on one factual detail and then proceeding to decry everyone else as "reactionary".

Antisemitism = against jews, jews ≠ israel -> something against israel = antisemitism... whatever...
