        The point being made is too closely overlapping with antisemitism for anyone to be justified in making it. Stick to the facts, don’t impute motivations. The state of Israel is committing genocide against the people of Gaza and are now ethnically cleansing south Lebanon.

        When you pull stunts like this bullethead did, it’s too easy to deflect the conversation. The Polish hard right isn’t an ally anymore than the Likud Party or the settlers are.

      It’s meant to indicate opposition for Jewish people, apparently. Still enjoy Zionists getting hit in the crossfire tho.

    I see the Israeli flag as equivalent to the Swastika or Confederate Battle Flag.

    They’re all symbols of hate.

    This is why leftists and even liberals need to demand anti-zionist leaders. We do NOT want the far-right to be leading the fight against zionism.

    Party from which he comes from is equivalent of German AFD. They are hating jews like they hate LGBT people. One of the ex-leaders of party is known for saying that “Hitler didn’t know about holocaust” and sending birthday wishes to Vladimir Putin calling him “your excellence”. And this guy with this swastika was drinking vodka at the rostrum.

      I’m gonna have to agree. More visible people need to start saying shit like this and louder.

      edit: hold on. “shit like this” could be anything. I’m talking about the obvious tyranny, human degradation, and sheer dissolution of collective reality we’re living in, obviously.

          I am aware of that, but according to polls ~12 percent of voters is either not aware of that, or like that part of him. And this 12 percent is not something I can ignore.

            I was born and grew up in Polish village. You wont realize how people are stupid And easily to manipulate.

            And you can add to it, that he claimed to be anti Ukrainian- people dont like them because they compete with Polish people for work, and you have polls like that.

            Sad but true
