Dua Lipa is one of finalists for 2021 Antisemite of the Year

[Teletubby 150,158]

Dua Lipa, US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Ben & Jerry’s executive Anuradha Mittal are being considered for the dubious award, Antisemite of the Year, said competition organizer StopAntisemitism.org.

“From spreading conspiracy theories to demonizing the Jewish state, each of these individuals has repeatedly and significantly propagated hatred,” said Stop Antisemitism founder Liora Rez, adding the group was “flooded” by more than 5,000 votes during the first leg of its contest.

Dua, who has denied past allegations of anti-Semitism, has voiced support for Palestinian causes and once shared a post by director Vin Arfuso claiming Israel Defense Forces “thoroughly enjoy beating and shooting children.” The singer “has been using her fame to vilify the Jewish nation and its people and to promote antisemitism to her fans,” including her 76 million Instagram followers, the group claims.

Wasn't Dua only defending people in Palestine? Or did I miss something

[Doroteyo 445]

i don't know anything about what dua has said but based on what's written above - her support of Palestine is NOT equal to antisemitism. Being pro-Palestine does not make one anti jew but anti-Israel. So wtf

One of the comments:

I vote for dua that will look great next to her Grammys

The fact that they're actually doing these "awards" is nothing short of pathetic  I can't even be mad at it because it's straight up laughable at how desperate they are to play the victim at this point

And the winner of 2021 Antisemite of the Year…

…The world’s next Antisemite Superstar is…

'they'... you mean the jews?

i'm all for criticising israel but claiming a pro-jew, anti-semitism organisation is 'desperate to play the victim' is highly antisemitic in itself.

Disgusting to turn an actual problem into this. There are so many actual antisemitic people out there doing bad stuff.

They = Zionists (which isn't synonymous with Jews). They're claiming Dua and others are anti-Semitic because they are supporting Palestinians and opposing Zionism and Israel. Nowhere did I mention hating Jews for being Jews.

Very this

This is absolutely ridiculous. Dua's support for the Palestinian people does not make her antisemitic.

[Bambino 24,290]

So now anyone who speaks in defense of the basic human rights of Palestinians and/or talks about Palestine is automatically called antisemitic? How embarrassing and pathetic at this point. Very laughable

When will the world understand that criticizing apartheid Israel's crimes and atrocities and ethnic cleansing techniques isn't antisemitism? You can be an Christian/Muslim/atheist/whatever with a Zionist ideology and you'll still be called out for supporting genocides against Palestinians. Nothing about Jews here.

i just thought people would be careful enough by now that they'd know that saying stuff like 'they' in regards to a minority group is generally an inflammatory and harmful tactic. zionism isn't explicitly mentioned anywhere in the original tweet so what you said could be very easily interpreted to being anti-jew instead of anti-zionist.
