Where is the humor in this?

People in the replies are understandably (based on the recent history of The Bee's owners) misinterpreting the ambiguous headline. The idea that someone who doesn't want to go to war for Israel is an antisemite is what they are making fun of. That's the joke.
Yeah, I posted at exactly the same time, but people need to read the article.
It's actually bashing the misuse of "antisemite," which is pretty surprising from these guys. This issue is a major fucking blind spot from them, and I too expected retardation.
The headline already makes people not want to read it
Instead of raging antisemite, it could just have been written as man comes out as jew hater after asking if america should be involved with another war
Don't quit your day job, your satire article naming skills need work.
The fact that their previous behavior is causing this joke to have well deserved blowback on them is the funniest part of the story. They can't walk it back now. We all know who they are.
I mean, the intended joke is pretty obvious, but it's not out of the question for a vaguely pro-jewish site to use that headline completely unironically.
This is what hardcore ziocucks actually believe.
Aye. Past a certain point, extremism is impossible to mock.
It's actually a much more nuanced take than I'd expect from them on this issue.
The headline looks like it could go the other way, but the article is actually ripping the concept to shreds. Which, again, is a major surprise from these guys.
I pretty much expected an alternative headline to be "Go die for Israel, says "Christian" humor site," but that's not the case. It's actually mocking the overuse and misapplication of "antisemite."
I agree. It's also mocking the over-use of "Islamophobic" and "Zionist" too. Along with all the other nonsense the Media pumps out to tar those who disagree with the hard left.
It just means that they went back to the "clown nose on" phase until the heat dies down. I have seen this song and dance before. They are still subversive scum.
The sad part is, the people this is lampooning really are so deranged it really is hard to recognize the humor; I get why people read the headline the other way.
The pro-Israel side is so deranged it approaches the zone where it becomes impossible to parody, because you just ending up sounding like you support Israel.
The pro-Hamas side is the sane side? 🙄
I would think the joke is he’s being called an antisemite just because he’s against another pointless desert shithole war but iirc the Bee is incredibly kiked so idk what way they’re leaning.
I am an American.
I don't care if people who aren't Americans are killing each other in a place that isn't America. Stop sending them money, deport anyone trying to agitate for either side, and start rebuilding America and punishing our internal enemies already.
I absolutely do...just significantly less than I care about Americans.
It changes a bit when America is involved and funding it, because that hurts us because it makes us the Bad guys. It hurts the soul of America if America is funding the needless destruction of human life, even if they aren't Americans.
I do condemn senseless human death. I want the best for Iranians, and I want the best for Israelis. I just don't want to be involved, and I don't want either side (Israel) fucking with us.
Exactly. Such a win win. Stop funding evil and death, and save money in the process. It's such an easy fix, but too many of our leaders are treasonous scum.
Yes, yes, yes.
So we're mostly in agreement, but I do care about people killing each other, especially if we're facilitating it.
Read up on The Barbary Wars and get back to us, eh?
Although I totally agree America's internal enemies (Democrats & leftists) need to be cleaned up too.
I think that it’s pretty clear what the joke is?
It's obvious to anyone who isn't familiar with the Babylon Bee. The reason people who are familiar with them are confused is because several Bee employees are exactly the kind of people this article is supposedly mocking.
It kinda surprises me how many people were whooshed by this.
I'll take that as a win. Yes, the anti-war position is anti-semitic, lol.
It's sarcasm, making parody of news organizations labelling people against American involvement in the Iran/ Israel conflict as anti-semites. I understand the confusion however as the Bee, I'm pretty certain, outed themselves as being pro-Israel a while back.
This one barely skirts cynicism and just reads like a mainstream author was on truth syrum.
They are ahead of our time, it's the humour without joke, the joke without humor.
The Bee has a history of trying to parody something, only to have the left actually DO that thing. CNN used to fact-check them, lolz!
Only this time they are parodying something that their own people are guilty of already doing in the very recent past.
What garbage, all rational people hate isreal
It's pointing out that the very same "people" (leftists, Rinos, Democrats and so on) are all for one war, but totally against helping Israel with a fraction of the money.
These same "people" believe Jews rule the world & believe every blood liable that comes along. They also believe Pallywood fantasies like "900 killed and injured in IDF bombing of hospital" when there's live stream footage of a Hamas group firing rockets directly over the hospital and one falling short.
LOOK at that crater! it obviously killed & injured 900+ destroying half the hospital, right? Seriously, I've seen anti-Semites claim this image is fake & half the hospital was destroyed, but the Jews (who control all media) won't allow images of it. That the IDF used this rocket attack to slip a helicopter in and blow it up, seriously!
