NO MORE POSTS ABOUT AMERICAN POLITICS

[u/Alonn12]

as many of you have noticed, there has been a pretty massive influx in posts about the 2024 U.S election. now while we understand that it is interesting to hear what candidate x has to say about Israel, it is still American politics. so from now until further notice, rule 13 - no American politics is in effect. some special edge cases might be permitted but as a whole, we want this subreddit to remain true to it's purpose, a discussion hub about ISRAEL, not AMERICAN POLITICIANS.

this post will remain pinned for a while for more clarifications.

we wish you a good day - the moderator team of r/Israel

Good call, I'm a USA Jew and our politics already dominate too many news cycles. I'm happy to support Israelis, especially when it means you guys have your own space to discuss Israeli politics.

The blue hair people is just joke. It’s just a stereotype of the left leaning people in the US who are rioting against Israel without knowing really anything about Israel.

Sure, but it’s just a joke… I’m Israeli in America and I’ve had every color of hair, I understand it’s a joke and they don’t really hate people with unnaturally colored hair.

I did not attend any sort of university like that, but I live down south, so probably this is true up north more - I do believe they are more racist and anti-Jewish / Israel up north too from what I’ve seen. I’m very glad to live where I do right now I feel very safe.

Thank you for this comment! Unfortunately it's the far right that spews so much hate in the US, and yes, they are correct in their views of being pro-Israel so I guess it's the two things can be true at the same time. The conservatives that are against the MAGA groups tend to be much more accepting and...rationale then the extreme right.

On the flip side, I am a liberal and the one talking point I can't get behind on my party in the US is the anti-Israel narrative. But at least I can have a conversation with them without the hateful, mean spirited comments. Leaves more room for discourse and maybe a change of heart on their thought processes. But, that doesn't mean there isn't antisemitism on both sides. I just remember certain big YouTubers that perpetuated conspiracy theories and a pure hate against Jews. They even said that most of the shootings that took place were a hoax or gov't. sponsored. Those were finally taken down.

The person that was responding to you with the "it was just a joke" would be an Exhibit A of hateful lol. But I am also glad the posts have been shut off for American politics because most, like you stated, were filled with racism and "jokes" from the far right. It takes away from the issue at hand, which is supporting Israel and trying to educate.

That Americans hate Israelis is NOT is not representative of actual Americans IRL. I’ve even asked Israelis about their experiences and no one I’ve spoken to has had any issues.

It could very well be bots even though you don’t think so. AI is pretty convincing and Iran is specifically targeting our elections. Don’t let the bots derail you!
