The two Alpha Epsilon Pi members were charged with hazing. The fraternity was booted from the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus in 2015, officials said.
They think moderating public forms is going to solve the vitriol that goes on in private group chats. public opinion is getting pretty dangerous but the more you moderate it the more they go back to private spaces saying ‘see jews control the world’ and it just becomes a snowball. Pretty big snowball currently if ya ask me.
The issue is the mods are playing into the Zionist playbook.
One of the primary reasons Zionists (or even just Israel itself) are able to constantly evade valid criticism and accountability is because of Nazism, which they support. So long as the Nazis of old and new spam-fuck the public discourse with insane Jewish Question arguments and conspiracy theories, Zionists are able to pin every criticism of themselves as “antisemitic Nazi rhetoric”.
It’s one of the main reasons Israel supports the far-right. Its one of the reasons Netanyahu supported and funded Hamas. A perpetual boogieman (albeit real violent groups) they are able to use for endless PR control.
And thus here we are. I offer a valid criticism of Zionists, the mods think I’m Nazi posting when I’m obviously not, and the valid criticism gets removed. Israel has been serviced.
And if I still need to make things painfully obvious to the mods
Israel is not the Jewish people
Zionism is not the ideology of all Jewish people
Criticisms of these two concepts are not directed to the Jewish people
I think 1 out of the hundreds of jews i’ve met in my day was an actual zionist. He coulda been a reddit mod too for all i know, but ya real odd ball guy, and this was over a decade ago. He got hit with that propaganda hard. The zionists lke the nazis really arnt shy about it LOL
Israel does a thing where if you’re jewish they offer for you to come visit Israel, I believe paying for travel and stuff for you, as a way of getting you invested in Israel
They do the same thing with politicians. Thats what the other replies are talking about. I’m not super knowledgeable on this so take what I’m saying with a grain of salt, just trying to make more clear what’s meant by the other replies
this is what they were talking about. If you scroll down to the last 2 paragraphs you’ll see that they shout out zionism and promote it as a value of Judaism
I’m pretty sure it’s like a coming of age thing, so yeah I think it might be 🤷🏻♂️ Like I said, just trying to provide context for the answers others are giving, I cannot provide as helpful of an answer as I would like, I really dont know much about this practice
I just thought the other replies didn’t make much sense without providing an explainer of what kind of practice they were actually characterizing
You’re talking about birthright trips, which are organized by Chabad, a super Zionist org but not Israel itself. They’re free 10 day trips they give to college age students. It is not some Jewish “coming of age” thing or whatever weirdness you’re, I assume unintentionally, veering into some gross territory with.
And I mean that does kinda sound like they target young adults who are coming of age? Maybe I’m using the term wrong. Am I understanding correctly that you get old enough and the org offers to fly you to Israel to get you invested in Zionism? Does coming of age mean a different or more specific thing?
Sure, that makes sense, but the Jewish bar and bat mizvah ceremonies are literally cultural coming of age traditions, equivalent to a quincinera or confirmation. Thus the immediate ick reaction when you frame chabadniks doing birthright as “coming of age”.
You sound like an anti-semite. It would be like saying all christians have a coming of age rite where they go out and proselityze to all of the countries just because of the mormons.
wtf are you talking about?

It is disgusting that they removed your comments accusing you of being a jew hater when you only talked about Israel
Zionists on Lemmy maybe?
Total bullshit.

For freshman college students?

Thank you for providing more context!

Ah, gotcha, I get why that would read that way, thanks
I think birthright maybe was the term I’d heard before that I was looking for
