Happy this was asked because I want one too now

[blackrose]

My husband and myself already had this shirt so I’m loving this. Fuck yes.

when the reason for your distress is a watermelon on a shirt, you know you're not the targets of an active genocide

[mellawe]

It's not the watermelon, it's the shape of it which clearly denies the existence of Israel.

[chasethesun]

It's not denying it, its making a statement about it. Israel is a political entity borne out of a political movement and antisemitism. It's as valid for someone to say they don't think Israel should exist as a state as it is for someone to say its fine that it exists. There are single-state proponents just as there are two-state proponents. Yet it's only one specific side that is automatically penalised for their opinion.

[mellawe]

It's not valid to say Israel doesn't have a right to exist, there is a lot wrong in Germany right now but at least we have laws regarding hate speech.

surely this dilution of what antisemitism is, is fucking damaging right?
