Yeah, I do. If they have been proven to have happened (beyond the UN statements I saw yesterday that were not quite definitive), I was wrong to have suggested the evidence would prove otherwise. Mea culpa.

Never denied.

Still. Need to eliminate all Zionists. Then there will be peace.

And a call for genocide.

Lovely.

I wouldn't be supportive of the elimination of any group of people without much more granular information, but how is this different than calling for the mass elimination of Hamas? You understand that Zionism is viewed as an unapologetically violent, vicious, inhumane, and racist ideology, right?

Zionism is abhorrent. It's NOT simply about creating and sustaining a Jewish homeland, unless you want to pretend that the ends justify the means - no matter how violent, viciously cruel, inhumane and racist those means were/are.

Hamas is obviously abhorrent, as well. But let's not pretend that subjugated people seeking any means necessary[u] to try to achieve their goals isn't an accusation that can comfortably describe the actions of both of these groups. In fact, Zionism fathered modern day terrorism. It's a fact. If you dispute that, go cry and pound sand about 10/7 elsewhere.

My, what a contortionist you are!

You called for genocide of Zionists, which includes virtually every Israeli.

So the equivalent is not, as you argue, calling for the elimination of Hamas; rather, the equivalent would be calling for genocide of Palestinians.

Evil, hypocritical, and not particularly capable, all in one neat little package.

Thanks for so ably demonstrating the true colors and the limitations of the pro-Palestinian movement. Much appreciated.

Also, to add, I believe it's possible to be Israeli, support the right of Israel to exist, and yet not be a racist, intolerant, POS Zionist. In fact, I hope that most of Israel is comprised of people like that - proud Israelis who don't support the apartheid, war crime actions of their government.

If you support the right of Israel to exist, you’re a Zionist. Congrats/ So which is it?

If supporting the right of Israel is what definitionally makes one a Zionist then it's time to stop demonizing and denigrating the term and using it as a pejorative, because for example if you support a two state solution that also makes you a zionist. Meanwhile, if you do not believe in the right of Israel to exist, that makes you a supporter of ethnic cleansing. Or, do words just not mean anything anymore and it's all empty vicious rhetoric?

Completely illogical BS. Israel ethnically cleansed the Palestinians brutally and viciously. A one-state solution would not mean anyone currently living in Israel would be ethnically cleansed. It just means Zionists would be on the same footing as Palestinians. Equality seems like oppression if you expect supremacy. Having to accept full equality for all is hardly ethnic cleansing.

So what happens to the religious minorities? From what I can tell, most Palestinian Christians have emigrated over the last 40 years or are trying to do so.

I think you (willfully?) misrepresent the PP's position. Palestinians have and have always had rights. Under UN Resolution 194, they have the right of return or fair compensation for their stolen property. Their brutal eviction and removal to make way for the state of Israel was undeniably ethnic cleansing. If you support what Zionists have done (and continue to do) to the Palestinians, you can't credibly condemn 10/7.

The problem now is what to do about a long and ongoing history of genocidal Zionist atrocities, Palestinian subjugation, and outbursts of Palestinian rage. Relations between the two groups are as bad as they've been in 76 years, and nobody has yet come up with a workable solution.

I think you (willfully) are trying to redirect the conversation away from the key point: the PP wrote "Need to eliminate all Zionists."

That's unambiguous.

As for the rest, your formulation is, of course, ludicrously one-sided, neglecting (among other things) the Palestinian/Arab war of annihilation that gave rise to the eviction of Palestinians.

Spare us the Palestinians-as-innocents narrative. Plenty of blame to go around.

Where exactly does she say that? I have not seen that quote. She described Zionism as an abhorrent philosophy. I agree. Zionism is racist and ethno-supremacist and is used to justify atrocities toward the Palestinians with the goal of privileging their own group. One can and should combat Zionism the same way one can and should combat white supremacy. That doesn't mean the same thing as "eliminating all Zionists" or "eliminating all white supremacists." It means countering the ideology at every opportunity with more palatable narratives and protecting where possible the erasure of their victims. It means trying to change hearts and minds rather than trying to kill off the people who hold these views.

As for the rest being one-sided, please consider that the Zionist narrative stems from a supremacist worldview that is very carefully constructed. Why do you think Israel refuses to release its archives from the time of the Nakba? What is it trying to hide? And why are Israeli historians such as Ilan Pappe and Teddy Katz publicly and viciously attacked when they provide carefully and painstakingly collected narratives from Zionist veterans? Ilan Pappe left Israel because he felt unsafe there, and Teddy Katz's once-promising academic career was completely destroyed. Why does Israel assassinate truth-telling journalists and writers? Why are journalists restricted from visiting Gaza, and why are the few embedded with the IDF in Gaza not allowed to communicate with Palestinians and only allowed to visit the places the IDF allows them to visit? When you limit yourself to information and talking points provided only by one side, perhaps it is your viewpoint that is "ludicrously one-sided"?

Take a scroll back

"Still. Need to eliminate all Zionists. Then there will be peace."

Do you wonder why Jews are feeling skittish right now - and why many of us are feeling strongly that Israel needs to exist as a safe place for Jews who aren't safe elsewhere? Even if we detest the current Israeli government - we also think Israel should exist. And you want to "eliminate" us.

Lol I know you don't wonder. Don't bother answering.

It is antisemitic to pretend that all Jews feel the same way. I and most of my Jewish friends hate Israel, are embarrassed by its existence, and don't think it should exist in its current form. Israel must allow the Palestinians the right of return, compensate them for all that it has stolen from them, and then try to move forward as a true democracy. Israel has a lot of work to do in terms of reconciliation and healing.

Zero percent chance that this is real.

It could be real. Dissent is very Jewish and I’ve seen a few Jews who don’t like Israel. Sanders is one of them

"Don't like" Israeli government actions? Sure.

"Hate Israel"? Not a chance that this was written by a Jew.

Sockpuppeting Palestine fangurl all day.

Using the word Jew is inappropriate . Say Jewish.

And no, you don’t have to be a sock puppet to see that many on the left that are harshly critical of Israel or anti Zionist are Jewish (Max Blumenthal, Noam Chomsky , Bernie Sanders, Jill Stein). All of these people are fully Jewish too so they aren’t just half.

You don’t need to be a sock puppet or fan girl to notice this.

American Jews aren’t all in lockstep like you like to believe.

You just like to tokenize Jews on the extreme left. We see you.

They tokenize themselves with their contrarian anti Israel views. Is anyone more of a token or tool than Dr. Jill Stein? I think she’d support Hitler if it gave her attention

The combined population of Israel and the occupied territories is now approx.

Israel: 9.4M people, of which approx. 74% are Jewish = approx. 7M Jews

Gaza and West Bank: 5.0M people (100% Palestinian), plus 2.4M non-Jews in Israel = 7.4M non-Jews

If Israel wants a durable peace, why would they stubbornly insist on 80%+ of the land for less than 1/2 the total population?

Because Israel is an expansionist state. Their plan is to make it a homeland for the worlds Jews and they aren’t done on boarding all of the worlds Jewish communities to Israel. New emigrations-Aliyahs are done every year . They want the West Bank and they take it from Palestinians with multi generational lineage and give it to New Yorkers who just are carpetbaggers who move to West Bank/Israel and settle

You do realize that a swath of countries in North Africa and the Middle East began expelling Jews in the 1940s, over a million, coming on the heels of the Holocaust. So yes, they went to Israel (as well as the Canada, France, and the US). You call that expansionist, others may say they were seeking refuge.

I'm not defending the settler sh*t in the West Bank. Not at all.

Sanders is a dipshit

Sanders is the only antitode to progressive /youth-led antisemitism . He is very important even if you don’t like him. Things would probably be far worse for the Jewish community right now without him. The Tiktokers are on the fact that Zelensky and Netanyahu are Jewish and take all of Congress’/taxpayers money while Biden reneged on his promise of student loans. Bernie’s free college stance among others is largely why he rose to power and reslly should’ve won the DNC nomination before Donna Brazile and Debbie Wasserman rigged it for Hillary . Bernie would’ve beat Trump easily

Not to take us off topic, but I 100% agree that Bernie could have beaten Trump.

They call it whatever they want. The reason for the attack is that Iran didn't want Saudi Arabia and other countries to normalize relations with Israel.

That’s not the reason at all. Do you think Hamas gives a damn about Iran or works for Iran? They don’t even speak the same language . Hamas knows English and Hebrew more than they know Farsi.

They absolutely did this because of the West Bank and the settlements are the reason . They specifically mention Ben Gvir and his death to Arabs parade he led last spring

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel ramped up its criticism of the embattled U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees Monday, saying 450 of its employees were members of militant groups in the Gaza Strip, though it provided no evidence to back up its accusation.

Could you imagine the US attorney general or NSC director being the guest of honor duiny a Klan rally March inside black neighborhoods in Washington DC with loudspeakers? That’s what Ben Gvir did last spring.

Ben Gvir was Marching in Palestinian Territories in the West Bank (the name Palestinian territory being needed as a submarker as there is now Israeli territory in the West Bank) screaming death to Arabs last spring .

This is an extreme spitting in the face of the people who already lost much land and security in the small parcels of land they had left .

You can’t cry when the hail hits you back

Ben Gvirs idol Meir Kahane got assasinated by an Arab Egyptian dressed as a rabbi or Jewish man into a Manhattan hotel.

Given Meir Kahanes vicious anti Arab rhetoric , it is no surprise he reached a violent end and it is no surprise Israel reached a state of violence after the election of Kahanists and a super right wing govt ramping violence and verbal harrassment in the West Bank.

Ben Gvir is a disgrace although I don’t agree with your analogy.

And nice justification for gang rape and murder, you sicko.

You are the ones justifying murder.

Gang rape was long debunked by Max Blumenthal, Jewish. The December New York Times story “Screams without Words” was debunked.

[Anonymous]

Much like the we sent an IdF soldier to be the negotiator , the NyT hired an Israeli intelligence officer who is not a trained journalist to write the rape story .

She even is being called out by the dead Israeli victim Gal Abdush’s family for lying about rape and exploiting them.

I have never seen a country want their women to be raped. One of the released hostages Mia Schem also got free nose job because she is just shocked that Hamas didn’t touch her during captivity .


It’s like a cognitive dissonance. They want to think Hamas are rapists so badly that they want it to be true
