I urge you to read this essay by Erik K. Ward of the Southern Poverty Law Center because the group that is insecure, angry, and struggles to accept the progress of the civil rights movement isn’t the Jewish people who survived the Holocaust. Antisemetism doesn’t only threaten Jews. https://politicalresearch.org/2017/06/29/skin-in-the-game-how-antisemitism-animates-white-nationalism |
Alright chump. Replace in the following para, copy pasted from the hate post. “We’re dealing with a segment of the [Zionist] population that is deeply insecure and perversely mean-spirited following the atrocities that occurred during [WWII]. Feelings of insecurity regarding their intelligence and physical capabilities have led us to this point, where everyone can see the common themes emerge over and over again. And it’s definitely not within all Zionists, but enough of them that it’s clearly become a problem.” Should I replace the words in parentheses for you, or do you have the cognitive ability to perceive what happens if I do? Shall we try ANC and apartheid? I can come up with many more. The subsequent paras get worse. Culminating in something about how killing others are their “only shot at feeling whole again”. Would you actually say something like this about Irish people? Cubans? Oh well maybe you and your ilk will, and probably do as a matter of routine. It will still be hate speech though. |
Like I said, your answer to your obsession is "muh taxes!" and it's horseshit. |
The immorality of financially supporting Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians is part of it, but how about if I just oppose my country being associated in any way with someone like Netanyahu, whose values are anathema to mine? |
Yeah, we won’t agree. I wouldn’t have an issue substituting anything else in there because what was said is true. There IS a segment, of which I presume you’re part, that is angry and vicious and frankly, obnoxious. Didn’t you see them at UCLA night? The Zionist mob being rightfully blamed by many groups for the vicious, criminal attacks last night on the encampment? The ones I read earlier are under federal investigation for hate crimes? Are they not real? Why would it be hate speech to describe that reality? |
+ 100 It's what they do...... attempt to distract from their own lunacy. Seth Abramson is the king of projection like this. |

Bruh, we are being played. Islamist Republic professor in Tehran applauds the American college protesters, noting they will side with Iran rather than American Zionists. Fun fact: the Iranian religious extremist was educated in Houston. |
LAPD is now working to break up the UCLA encampment.
Bring out the tear gas! |
UCLA should be embarrassed for not taking control of this situation a week ago.

Students didn’t come out in huge numbers to protest the Afghanistan or Iraq wars (although I did) because there was a feeling of patriotism after 911 and trust in our government to take the appropriate response. But in the case of the Israeli - Gaza war, Israel is not our country. So that same feeling of patriotism / blind allegiance isn’t there except for (some) people who are Jewish and feel that Israel is tied to their existence. I believe that pro Israelis truly feel that any criticism of Israel is antisemitic because to them Israel and their Jewish identity are deeply intertwined. But objectively Israel is a country and not a faith and so others who don’t share that intertwined identity (which includes some Jews, including me) criticize it not because we are antisemitic (I’m Jewish!) but bc we see it doing horrible things and lying about it. Hamas also did horrible things but two wrongs don’t make a right no matter how loudly people think it does. |
I’m watching this live on the today show and I just don’t have words to describe how awful this is all around. |
No, it's because it's an election year and Soros is throwing money around. |
This is not about Jews. This is about Zionists. This is about Israel’s Longstanding history of outsized responses. This is about Israel dehumanizing and underestimating Palestinians. This is about Israel’s inability to live peacefully with its neighbors. This is about families displaced from their homes/forced to bury their children. This is about the 1000s of amputees with limbs blown off by IDF. This is about mothers not being able to feed their kids. This is about the US sending billions to Israel to provide weapons plus at the same time $$ to Gaza to compensate for the harm its bombs have caused. This is about US taking a ridiculous stance that it’s ok for the ceasefire to be temporary. This is about the hypocrisy that Israel has a right to exist per the UN but it’s ok for Israel to ignore all other UN orders. I believe you think it’s all about antisemitism. But it’s not. |
