I feel like Walt would approve hating on Israel.
I’ve heard it said that Walt was an antisemite, so I looked it up to confirm. According to an article in jewishpress.com the evidence that Walt was really an antisemite is weak but the MPA of the time had more things of concern… That same article goes on to equate anti-Israel with antisemitism so I doubt they’d give Walt any benefit of a doubt.
I’m not on Twitter, but I hear getting exposure to actual vile antisemitism happens quite fast.
I cannot wait for us to be past this “any criticism of Israel is antisemitism” and the US funding a genocide phase.
The twit was ‘and always remember, free palestine.’
Do you consider that to be hating on Israel?
Is hating on the Holocaust hating on the Nazis?
As melon-scratchers go, that’s a honeydoodle!
I don’t view it that way, but Walt Disney definitely would.
Why?
You realize taking all the Jewish people out of Europe and putting them somewhere like the Middle East was one of the Nazis original plans…
Right?
If you didn’t know that, you’d probably be constantly confused with why all types of Nazis are supporting Israel in 2025
Saying “free Palestine” does not equal “down with Israel and the Jews”. Wanting freedom from oppression for one group is not an endorsement of violence or oppression against another.
While that may be true, nobody saying “free Palestine” has a positive view of Israel, do they?
I don’t have a positive view of a lot of countries, especially ones that are actively murdering men, women, and children but I am not advocating for the destruction or death to the inhabitants of those countries.
You are making yet another false equivalency. “Please stop murdering people and grant them freedom from oppression” does not equate to “I wish to see you and everyone around you dead”.
See, now you lost all credibility. There’s no honest reason whatsoever to add “and the Jews” to that sentence.
Israel is not “the Jews”.
It’s hard to say…there’s this thing where a ton of people hate Jews but love Israel
Either way he would still be an anti-union jackass so I don’t really care what he would think
Yea, just not for the correct reasons.
