  • The US military is using the white supremacist Jerusalem Cross on its propaganda

    Jump

  • in America, that’s not a very common symbol…we don’t actually see a lot of white supremacists on the street though (they would get murked)

    quite a few christian nationalists have adopted other crusader symbolism so i see it as a horrible, christian nationalist, invader/colonizer symbol… but i’ve never seen it associated with white supremacism…

    my argument isn’t that it’s never used by white supremacists, it’s that it’s not an outright white supremacist symbol.i’d call it a dog whistle, though.

  • Even if it hadn't been adopted by white supremacists (it has), it would still be abhorrent.

    yes, it is abhorrent… it’s not, however, a white supremacist symbol.“crusader” is a terrible term for the military to associate itself with… but definitely not as terrible as a white supremacist symbol.white supremacists have also “adopted” wearing boots but i’m not going to call everyone wearing boots a white supremacist.

  • Adoption by white supremacists

    Because of the connotations of the Jerusalem cross as a symbol of Christian invasion of Muslim lands, and of Christian evangelism, the symbol has gained popularity with white supremacists in recent years.

    ok it’s whack to use religious symbols in military ads but just because it “gained popularity” with white supremacists doesn’t make it a white supremacist symbol.

  • BBC training tells staff not to criticise Zionists

  • Israel is being unreasonable and bombing kids.some of them are zionists, but many zionists are very against bombing innocent people.There are frequent huge protests in Israel about this.Zionism is not a form of nationalism. It has nothing to do with other nations or that nation’s superiority… it’s entirely about unifying the jewish people and giving them a homeland… committing genocide is an insane thing and not part of zionism….surely it’s a force that helped them get there, but it’s not about that.

  • says people should criticise the Israeli government rather than Zionists

    let’s see how many downvotes i get for this:that’s actually reasonable, zionism is a religious belief that they should have a jewish homeland, they looked at many other places that were welcoming… the decision to recreate Israel was made by the Allied forces after WWII… specifically to bring about the Christian apocalypse….Zionism is a separate thing from what Israel is doing…

    this someone can still follow you and downvote everything you post, and comment on everything you post, and all you’ve done is make it so you can’t tell.

    the lack of effective blocking is what really kills Lemmy….it’s like it was custom made for harassment and brigading.
