      If anything, lumping all Jewish people in with an oppressive apartheid state is just as antisemitic as lumping in all Muslims with Hamas and other Salafist extremist groups is Islamophobic.

      For you assholes downvoting this, how about you speak up and provide an argument as to why criticizing the government of Israel is antisemitic, since you obviously don’t agree with @800XL.

      Seriously. Instead of just disagreeing, enlighten us. I’m open to legitimate conversation.

      Disagreeing with a political state is not the same as being against an ethnic or racial group. Tell me why this is wrong.

      Completely not relevant to anything here, and apologies for that, but what is behind the use of that emoji? I’ve seen it more the past 2-3 years, and this is likely a old-fart issue. Maybe something from TikTok?

        “I’m dead.” As in “I died of laughter.”

        I don’t see its relevance here though.

        Pretty much the same as 😂 or 😭 in regards to laughing. The literal meaning would be “I’m dead”

          That’s good to know. I’ve wonder a few times if it was “Drop dead plz” or the self-actionable variant.
