Good video essay on the topic by Lindsay Ellis.
Incidentally I love that the video has raised $800k for Palestinian Children's Relief Fund.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
I love that she descended from the mountain to bestow her powerful, well-thought and thorough video on this topic, using her massive influence and status as a beloved, original bread-tuber to lay some sharp truths on the population before returning to her sanctuary.
I know it's hard and emotional and you set yourself up for some of the most extreme attacks as a creator when you put your foot in this ring, but that's what the bad people have set up by design to discourage resistance. It's our responsibility to push back on injustice, especially when it's been leveraged so hard using such a "touchy" facade, like anti-semitism.
There are a few large personalities who are so scared of stepping on people's toes or being called an "anti-semite" for speaking out against literal genocide that they won't even mention it, and some who are just more hung up on social acceptance than making a better world. (Staring hard and disapprovingly at you Natalie/Contrapoints.)
Yeah but the tide is turning, at least in Sweden and it seems in the US as well. It's decreasingly socially acceptable to shame people into going alone with war crimes and ethnic cleansing, and it is especially ugly to use accusations of bigotry to promote bigotry.
Supporters say it’s over her advocacy for Gazan children.
How DARE she!!!! /s
Truth be told it'd be weird if that part said literally anything else. "Supporters say it's over her potty training videos."
As a Jewish person I aspire to one day be antisemite of the year
It’s antisemitic to think murdering children is wrong apparently.
Do they realize how silly this shows them to be? I get the impression they’re so out of touch they don’t even realize it.
They no longer care. They know how ridiculous they are they still backed by the major west, arab traitors, china and russia although most of those countries try to deny that
They’ve cratered decades of support and goodwill from a huge portion of the world. May not have an impact today but I hope it changes in the future.
Given my interactions with zionist friends and family, they're completely out of touch. They've shoehorned themselves into a hasbara bubble and consider anything not pro-Israel to be "Qatari propaganda" one way or another. That closes any channel that could possibly inform them of the way they appear and lets them lean into their victimhood, raging against anyone and anything that isn't aligned.
Their existence is contingent on a majority of Americans being ignorant of reality.
Wait, is this not a The Onion article? Of one of the foreign versions of it.
No, they've been trying to undermine Ms Rachel's calls to not murder children for months now...
They are already too out of touch to even realize how fucking bonkers they look to anyone not already in their little bubble.
It's never wrong to punch a Nazi, even if the Nazi is Jewish.
It's funny how words lose meaning.
It's real funny how the world's only "Jewish State" has set themselves up for another fucking CENTURY of actual bigotry and real anti-semitism by trying to wrap their cruel murder campaign in their ethnicity and heritage.
We're going to have so, so many groups of people screaming death to Jewish people across the entire world after Benjie's regime collapses one day.
I guess fuck all that work we did to save Jewish people from actual persecution and murder. I wonder what the next "reversing progress" campaign we're going to see and what the word for them will be called in future textbooks.
Eh, I'm not sure. Pretty much everyone who actually cares about Palestine recognizes that the state of Israel and the Jewish people are separate. The only people who conflate the two are those paid to do so, and those who were looking for an excuse to express their hatred.
I doubt Israel's actions have actually created many new antisemites.
Imagine being so completely detached from reality, that you would put Ms Rachel in the same category as Tucker Carlson? The mental gymnastics required to make that make sense, is Olympic caliber.
Also Nick Fuentes is nowhere to be found
That'd be too stark of a difference; showing what obvious legitimate antisemitism looks like. I'm willing to bet they'll always pretend Nick Fuentes doesn't exist.
Funny since he's trying to make them not exist for real. They'd rather continue their own genocide than stand against someone who wants to genocide them. If it were me I'd be concerned about the amount of blowback we keep seeing on the news, but hey they're not my chosen people.
That's convenient, I had just created a "genocide apologists of the year" award, and was not sure who to give it to.
But Palestinians are Semetic people... How can she be an anti-Semite?
In the same way that causcasian can mean people from the caucasus region or white people depending on context.
If thinking ethnic cleansing is wrong is antisemitism, yeah, I guess. But at that point it seems like it’s morally right to be antisemitic.
Let's hope that the Israeli genocide against the people of Palestine will somehow come to an end.
Special thanks to Ms. Rachel for being the guiding light we need in these dark times and for speaking truth to evil power.
SLAMS
BLASTS even
they RIPPED her
We need more destructive verbs. The last set we had are losing impact.
"slam" "blast" "rip" etc are for sure going the way of "This one weird trick" and "you won't believe" in terms of being overused to the point where they are more comedy than anything else
How many of those "antisemites" on that list think:
- Jews are greedy, or at least "have much higher financial intelligence on average than non-Jews",
- Jews are scheming,
- liberal Jews are behind "wokeness",
- Jews are massively overrepresented in sex and financial crimes,
- Jews are massively overrepresented in financial institutions, the media, and the arts,
- some people cover up their Jewish heritage.
- Jews and Gentiles are unable to live together in peace?
Israel - just as pathetic as evil.
Wow, what a prestigious award. I'm an amateur antisemite but I have the passion to become the very best, hope I earn it in the future.
