    That sounds like some antisemitic bullshit to me and a YouTube video is not especially convincing.

      I mean, I haven’t watched the video. Guy however appeared in the Pandora papers. The Canadian government has sanctioned him for “gross and systematic human rights violations in Haiti and engaged in acts that threaten the peace, security, and stability of Haiti”. A quick search of his company (GB Group) seems to point to quasi-monopolistic practices on many Haitian markets. His father was sanctioned by the US as well in 91 around Aristide’s coup d’état. He is today Haiti’s one and only billionaire. He is also indeed a Zionist, even is honorary consul for Israel. What’s antisemitic about pointing any of that out?

        Thank you. That is a much better link.

        You have to admit “Jews have been running X country for 100 years” does not sound good what with all the “Jews control the world” conspiracy theories.

          I’m honestly curious if you think ‘a Zionist’ is the exact same thing with ‘a Jew’?

            Me? No. That person I’m talking to? Yes.

            Are you really going to claim there are no conspiracy theories about Jews controlling the world?

      Where the hell have you been? Even I’ve already heard about this tyranical oligarch. Haiti has no effective government, and this fascist is largely to blame.

      Of course you’d come along to claim anti-semitism when it comes to Israel.

            Please explain to me why “of course” was used in their response to me. What do you think “of course” means in the context of the lie that I personally support Israel or think support of Israel is anti-semitism?

              Most zionists online love to claim anti semitisim when someone supports Israel. So I think you can see why he would assume that you’re a zionist

          No that it is not what is thought.

          You’re always so quick to act a victim and get offended.

            Sure looks like it to me:

            I challenge you to find one nice thing I have ever said about Israel on Lemmy. I can even show you me criticizing Israel on Reddit long before I came to Lemmy, which is far longer than this genocide has been going on.

            So yeah, that is exactly what you thought. You know I’m Jewish and you just decided that meant I supported Israel in face of a mountain of evidence to the contrary.

            But sure, fine, why did you say that if it had nothing to do with me being a Jew or an Israel supporter? Go ahead.

            Edit: I’ll help you. You find me supporting Israel. https://lemmy.world/search?q=israel&type=All&listingType=All&creatorId=477305&page=1&sort=New

              I’ve seen you support Israel through your biased mod actions.

              I watch you do it here where you see the word Zionist and jump into “omg it’s antisemitism”.

                  Oh wow you think condemning support for genocide is antisemitism? Shocking I tell you.

                  See this is literally what I mean. You’re a walking Zionist talking point. Trying so hard to paint yourself the victim to keep up this narrative.
