Because AIPAC runs the media and the government

To the PP who posted the video of Israeli soccer fans - these are Israelis. Again, disgusting and inexcusable, but you’re going to see speech like this among actual impacted groups (Israelis and Palestinians alike, although FAR, FAR more common in the Palestinian side).

I have never seen a massive crowd of otherwise normal, sane Westerners shout “DEATH TO ___.” This was on the main stage at Glastonbury. The frightening part, and what I’m trying to get across, is that these views are becoming MAINSTREAMED. Yeah, you might see isolated incidents of posters, graffiti, etc. at political PROTESTS, but have you ever seen anything akin to this Glastonbury incident? I have not. These are not “the fringe.” These are just regular concertgoers.


No that is the US media. Israelis chant death to America, death to all Muslims, death to all Christians etc. It is done in Hebrew and not shown in the US. Israelis hate the US. They hate our freedoms.


LOL ok. I’m fluent in Hebrew. I’ve been to Israel many times and lived there for over a year. I consume Israeli media regularly. I have never once encountered anything like what you’re describing.

Pasting from another thread because it’s relevant: as an Iranian, I am also in the unique position of having seen the other side of this. My grandma lived with us growing up and only spoke Farsi, so we got middle eastern satellite TV for her. We got a bunch of channels that were broadcast in the Muslim world - Al Manar (the Hezbollah channel), the Arabic version of Al Jazeera, IRIB (the official channel of the Islamic Republic of Iran), a bunch of others.

It was NONSTOP, WALL-TO-WALL, HORRIFIC antisemitism. All day, every day. Israelis being portrayed as demons with horns and being set on fire. The Statue of Liberty being blown up, her face melting. Ads for video games where the targets were people with Jewish stars on their backs. Constant tearful tributes to suicide bombers. These are all specific scenes I remember seeing as a kid. And this wasn’t some randoms on the street - these were official TV channels broadcast to huge audiences in the Middle East. Al Manar reaches 50 MILLION people. If you seriously believe that what goes on in Israel is worse…….you’ve been brainwashed, I’m sorry.


You showed up around a month ago, swearing up and down that you are Iranian but not Jewish (as you imperiously defended Israel’s policies and actions), and have now spent the past several weeks almost comically letting the mask slip to the point that denying that you are Jewish at this point would be the height of absurdity.

Well done. You surprised … well … no one.

Yep. It’s okay to murder Palestinian children. It’s not okay to notice and speak about the murder of Palestinian children. Don’t you know.

Would they be banned if they had chanted “death to Palestine”?

Agree that two valid conflicts don't cancel each other out. Learn to listen and learn and understand a perspective outside of your own. Wisdom should not be a threat, that is when it becomes empowering.

But the issue is two wrongs don’t make a right. If someone were to share that extreme Muslims say and think horrible things about Jews and others AND say that what Israeli is doing to children in Gaza is terrible then we can have a conversation. But the extreme insistence that Israel’s own actions are justified because the other side is “worse” doesn’t resonate with me.

Most of the people I know agree with this discomfort and I've read a few articles in the Jewish media pushing back against this idea. Don't get me wrong, I find what the band said appaling and ugly, but I don't agree that it alone should make them ineligible to enter the US.


The IDF are soldiers who are at war with their occupied territory. The IDF are killing Hamas leaders but much more they are killing children, women, the elderly. Killing soldiers on the other side is what happens in a war.


According to their statistics, IDF is killing over 80% civilians which means in reality it's much higher than that given their immense propensity to lie and misrepresent. Meanwhile October 7th, was close to 50% civilians and we have no indication as to how many Israelis were killed by the IDF via the Hannibal directive, but it appears to be a significant number.

You were allowed to live in Israel as an Iranian Muslim or are you Iranian Jewish?


Yes and yes. You are absolutely allowed to live in Israel as an Iranian Muslim, although I only know of one personally (though many Iranian Bahaiis live there after fleeing persecution in Iran). I happen to be an Iranian Jew.

Wish there was this much hysteria and outrage in the media about some chant as there was when 5 year old Hind Rajab was shot 355 times by the IDF.

The difference is talk verses action. Here in the US if someone wants to kill people they just do it. They don’t advertise it so much. We have guns here with minimal background checks, hence all the mass shootings in the past 30 years.


Point taken and that has equally terrifying implications
