A few days ago I saw a ton of posts "innocently" asking why Jewish people had "their own ambulances" when this charity provides people, regardless of faith or ethnicity, ambulance service for free. Content we engage with online often has agendas, and can hurt people even if it looks like it's not supposed to.

They do have legal authority: the Anglican Church can actually appoint real police officers under the powers of the Parish and does so. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York_Minster_Police
Which made all the fuss about “Jewish religious police - why can’t other communities have it” quite amusing: a Christian denomination actually has legal privilege to have its own police force in the UK.

And some people don't want to distinguish the two.
I've already seen comments saying that Jews are guilty until proven innocent when it comes to if they are zionists or not. So, basically, all jews are bad until they denounce Israel and Zionism. If they aren't openly and proudly screaming or wearing a shirt that says "I AM ANTI-ZIONISM. I AM ANTI-ISRAEL", they are suspect.
It's f****** horrible and I hate that Israel muddies the water by equating Jews and Israel/Zionism as one entity, cause I've also seen lots of comments saying that the word antisemitism is now becoming a meaningless word and that any reports of antisemitism in general is being inflated and people are downplaying the rise in antisemitism as all "they were probably just zionists crying wolf, nothing more".

Thank you for saying this. I've been spending my days as a liberal American Jew trying to fight back against any claim that "Jews are good people except for the zionists" and have to explain that Zionism was a movement of refugees escaping pogroms and rising hostile nationalism in Europe in the 1800's. Zionism is not west bank settler colonist garbage. Call it right wing religious extremism, whatever you want, but calling anything bad an Israeli does as a problem of Zionism takes away from the efforts of a persecuted people to have their own self determination.

Sorry, but this is a c**** cop out that gives cover to full blown fascists.
Labels exist to convey meaning. Saying Zionism is simply about Jews having a right to a homeland is too vague and completely ignores the political reality.
It’s like saying pro-White, just like pro-Black means that you believe White people are entitled to live dignified and happy lives with a secure future for their children. Sounds pretty good to any reasonable person…. Except being pro-White comes with explicitly toxic and racist political realities. Zionism is political.

Zionism exists and is established by the very nature of Israel’s existence. There is no political reality to this statement.

Liege, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Manchester, London - all places where antisemitism is on the rise. Plus Canada and the US. The world's hate for us reinforces the need for a Jewish state. And before you say something along the lines of, "If Israel wasn't doing what it's doing", keep in mind that Europeans have a long and rich history of murdering and displacing Jews well before the modern Israeli state.

It's really not a good example, considering the many good reasons Jewish people have to feel they need a safe homeland, and to feel oppressed. You can bring up the dark side of zionism but there is also another legitimate side to it, which isn't the case in your example. It's a very muddy issue in comparison to the one you bring up. A lot of Jewish people would consider themselves zionist, and to them that means, they think Israel as a concept should exist. The person above said anti-semitism is rampant because people can't tell the difference between zionists and Jews, implying that it would be ok if it was against zionists, but many Jewish people would consider themselves to be zionist, even if they're completely against Israel's recent actions.

Yes it is okay to denounce because all ethno-nationalism is bad without exception. Much less if you’re annexing land, refusing to recognise borders, and committing a genocide in the process.

That’s fair. I do think though that it puts things in a weird space those who speak strongly against Zionists and the Jewish community. the original statement implied hate against Zionists is ok and that’s a weird place to be because many (most?) Jews don’t want the destruction of Israel and would be very upset if somebody did.

Not clear on how an ambulance could be zionist, but no. When Israel bombs a hospital or an ambulance or shoots a doctor or aid worker, they are committing war crimes. And they’re being terrorists. It is objectively wrong to attack medical personnel and people receiving medical care. Or to destroy the basic infrastructure they rely on for that. Good people don’t do that. So even if the ambulance was somehow zionist, that’s not okay. That’s terrorist behaviour.

That is a valid question for the UK, where the existence of "private" emergency ambulances (as opposed to either NHS or non-emergency ambulance services) is not very common and therefore is relatively unknown.

When was actually the last time Jews in this country actually did something 'bad'.

They seem to have spent a few hundred years just getting by, slowly assimilating but never disappearing. Then all of a sudden theyre public enemy #1 because of people in a foreign country? Its truly sad and they must feel completely powerless to stop it.

btw they’re an international organization that checks that they engage in government lobbying, are worth hundreds of millions of dollars from grants(they hide this by making the funding “friends of hetzalah” organizations), and funnel money towards supporting genocidal Israel
Same scam as kars for kids, they can get fucked
