I think I understand, they mean a Pro Palestinian group would be referring to Israeli actions as “hate by Jews”?
I’d think that falls under the heading of “saying the quiet part out loud”. Pro Palestinian groups (at least in the Western world) very much don’t paint this as a Jewish vs Muslim conflict. They focus on Israeli vs Palestinian instead (probably because there are many more Muslims who wield much more political power than Jews in the region, whereas the power dynamic is flipped if you narrow in on Israelis vs Palestinians).
Heck, I was confused as well. Given the perfectly good word antisemitism which I’ve been familiar with for some 50+ years, I did not immediately realize why it was being “rebranded” as “Jewish hate.” I’m not aware of having ever heard/seen the term “Jewish hate” before. Compounding my confusion was my not expecting antisemitism or pro-christianity/catholicism adds during a football game.
Given that I had heard so much recently about debate over Israel’s current actions, and since it did not lead with the word anti-semitism I momentarily wondered if they meant something other than antisemitism, such as possibly hateful actions committed BY Jews.
In the abstract, I’m not sure whether “Jewish hate” unequivocally refers to hatred by or against Jews.
I don’t think so. That’s maybe a reason to say “Israel vs Palestine” rather than “Israel vs Arab nations”. There are a lot of Muslims who aren’t Palestinian and a lot of Jews who aren’t Israeli. I don’t think this IS a Jewish vs Muslim conflict. I think that’s an inappropriate framing.
She sounds pretty good for a 10 yr old, but she’s still a little awkward and imitative. Which is fine. It’s how kids learn, but she has talent and obviously has been given a big push by her parents. I guess I just find it a tad creepy to see a small child performing like an adult woman.
“Anti-semitism” is a term that was coined and popularized in 1880s Germany by anto-semites who wanted a more scientific term for their ideology than the already preexisting term “Jew Hatred”.
I am not saying that this is a Jewish/Muslim conflict. And I’m also not saying that pro-Palestinian sources in the West say that either. For many of the same reasons you mention.
Outside the West it is sometimes framed in this way, by people who aren’t particularly pro-Palestinian but can be brought aboard by appealing to anti-Jewish rhetoric.
I agree with you that it is a bad way to frame it (which is also why I don’t think any pro Palestinian groups operating in the West would refer to Israeli actions as “Jewish Hate” - you’d only do that if you were making an appeal to antisemitism).
Then clearly you are not familiar with Super Bowl ads, as the Scientology ads always play right around halftime, and have for many years, and the He Gets Us campaign has also previously had Super Bowl ads.
Evangelical churches have a big problem right now – losing members. Especially among the 15 – 30’s, where the fastest-growing religious group is the “nones”, the “spiritual-but-not-religious" crowd. Those folks are turned off by the evangelicals’ culture war rhetoric, and the politicization of religion. And a lot of conservatives who don’t have a problem with the anti-LGBT or misogyny of, say, the Southern Baptist Conference, are turned off by the church’s sex abuse problems. “He Gets Us” is straight-up marketing, it’s all about getting asses in pews and pledge envelopes in collection baskets. My suspicion is that the backers’ thinking is, “First, get ‘em through the door. Then we can work on the indoctrination.”
A blogger called Captain Cassidy on OnlySky Media writes extensively about evangelicals and their declining membership numbers. She’s covered “He Gets Us” a couple of times.
