neons@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Calling Nettanyahu a fascist and warcriminal apparently is zionism? Also I have never done anything in that communityEnglish14·24 days agoI tend to be careful to not call a person antisemitic, which leads to more confrontation and toxicity from my experience, but to instead explain to them why their actions are antisemitic. The same here.
I went back to look at the Discussion and in this case this particular user told me that “Jews” were the “Nationality” of Israel. I told them why this was antisemitism, told them why (mixing Judaism the Religion with Israel the state) and asked them to stop this.
I honestly don’t think I did anything wrong there. I didn’t call them antisemitic and instead calmly explained to them why their statements were antisemitic. I blocked them instead of letting the discussion get out of control when it became clear they would continue even after my explanation why it was antisemitic.
No name-calling, calm explanation and disengagement instead of escalation.
Wait
But that’s just ADD?
wait, was I just bullshited?
Are the other ones also not true? And I was so invested!
