They are equating Israel's war-like (justified war in reality) actions against Gaza as another Holocaust (or the Holocaust, not sure if they believe in the real Holocaust).


When I see these posts on social media "Stop the Gaza Genocide" along with "I support Palestine," what does that mean? Does that mean they are against Hamas or against Israel? And are who are they accusing of perpetuating a genocide and who are the victims?

Why wouldn't they include Israel in their support? "I support the people of Gaza" or something more inclusive.





It means they think Israel is committing genocide.


Is it worrisome to anyone else that the people posting this on social media, like LinkedIn banners, have security clearances and work for large U.S. defense contractors? It worries me.


You can have bad opinions and work for the US government.


Federal employees have better protection for private speech than private employees do. This is well settled.


These are not Feds but contractors working for large U.S. defense contractors, with security clearances. This is alarming to me.

This conflict has really opened my eyes about the radicalization of so many college students.

I used to dismiss the talk of "wokism." I am an independent who has voted mostly for Democrats.

But I can not ignore what I am seeing on college campuses. My kids are a few years off from college, but there is no way I would let them go to my alma mater -- one of these schools with a very vigorous pro-Hamas SJP.

And it is absolutely terrifying the number of medical professionals who have posted gleefully on social media about the attacks on Israel, celebrating Hamas.

They iare not doing the Arab-American community any favors.


I've heard from several Jews who are afraid to go to the doctor.

And that does not mean that it's not scary to be a civilian in Gaza, or that there are never Islamophobic crimes in the west.

But anti-semitism is everywhere right now, and if you claim it's not, you're deliberately ignoring it.

And FWIW, on Jewish online forums, a large number of people are talking about moving to Israel. Because they feel that they'd be safer there.



In Herndon va, everyone I know is starting to question why we are supporting Israel, out loud .

Israel keeps sending religious fanatics into the West Bank. Why?


The settlers are extremists.

But to use them as an excuse for not wanting to allow Israel to defend itself is like using US militias in Michigan as an excuse to demonize the entire US population.


Jews should realize that it is normal
People in dc suburbs that want to stop supporting Israel. Not extremists. Average middle class people

It is NOT radicalization

It is being concerned about how Israel stomps on the Palestinians

It is just like how South Africa was treated in the 80’s

Israel deserves the same


I hope I can find a school for my kids to go to that will have as few people like you as possible. I think larger state schools seem to be faring a bit better, fewer attempts by the administration to accommodate and appease blood-thirsty students playing at revolutionary.

I dare anyone to find a group of students at a mainstream American college who support Israel saying they don't want the Palestinians to exist, and they don't want the pot-Palestinian protesters to exist.


Shut it! Israel in its current form should not exist! There you have it! It is not antisemitism, it is not anti jewish. The state of Israel in its current form is a cancer! The world and jews would have been better off if Israel never existed. The creation of a Jewish state in the middle of the Arab world not only represents the continuation of European colonialism in Palestine, it has also consisted of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and the establishment of an apartheid system by a rogue nation that has repeatedly violated international law.

Given this history, the repeated claim made by the United States and other Western nations that Israel’s military actions are merely acts of self-defense contradicts the reality on the ground. Surely it is the violence carried out by people forced to live under a violent illegal military occupation and blockade that should be considered an act of self-defense. After all, the French Resistance to the Nazi occupation of France during World War Two is viewed as a heroic struggle for national liberation. In stark contrast, Palestinian resisters are labelled ‘terrorists.’
Despite the best efforts of the United States and other Western governments as well as the mainstream media to portray Israel as the victim in this conflict, the numbers make evident who is doing most of the killing and who is doing most of the dying. The fact that a people forced to live under an illegal foreign military occupation are portrayed as the aggressors constitutes a stunning example of Orwellian doublespeak.


Sweet tantrum! And the quiet part gets said out loud.

Congratulations, you’re a terrorist.

And if you need a primer on the differences between Hamas and the French partisans of WWII, lmk.


I mean, labels are pointless at this point. Bibi is a terrorist, too, and anyone who supports him is a terrorist, as well. The fact that he stumbles around in a poorly-fitted suit with a smirk on his face, while his dirty work is being done by the great-grandchildren of settlers from places like the Ukraine and Brooklyn, using subsidized US weapons and technology - yeah, that doesn't absolve him at all for his share of foundational blame here. Unnecessary loss of life is tragic, wherever it occurs. That means on 10/7 and for 115 years prior, and certainly for the past nearly three weeks.

I support neither side in this lopsided battle over sand and oil. Spare me the talk of holy lands ...

But above all else, stop trying to bamboozle others into thinking the State of Israel was formed by peaceful, indigenous settlers who were just looking for a friendly welcome wagon greeting from their new neighbors. Wind the clock back another 40 - 50 years to get up to speed on why we are where we are today.


Yawn.
What is reality. It is important to live in reality. The independent, existing, nation-state of Israel, isn't going anywhere. It exists.


Yawn ...

Who said otherwise? Who argued otherwise? The post you responded to didn't argue otherwise.

Look, you can play the smug card all day long, but at the end of that same day, you'll still be supporting a people who believe themselves - in the year 2023 - to be chosen above others. Chosen. Special. Better than others. Just typing and seeing those words in print ... it seems disturbing, no?

Anyway, fairytales just don't do it for me, so more power to you (and your delusions, I guess).

I can’t believe there is a discussion or implication here about whether kindergarteners are innocent.

Here is a story about two four year olds who have been killed, Omer and Omar, one from Israel and one from Gaza.

Let’s not lose our humanity here. Kids are innocent.

I made the mistake of checking out Lipstick Alley last night.

A better action is to call Warner and Kaine and tell them to stop supporting Israel and the zionists

I had a similar encounter in a DC cab years ago. I don't remember the ethnicity of the cab driver, but he spoke with a foreign accent. He referenced "your people" and I couldn't figure out what he meant. I am half Southern European and look mildly "ethnic." Turns out he thought I was Jewish.

You very direct attempt to make me hate a group of people with you didn't work. Jewish people don't disturb me.

Interesting way to show concern for Palestinians. By trapping American Jews in a college library.

Bwaaaaaa!

You mean the 1929 Hebron massacre? Or the Safed massacre?

You mean the Iraqi Jews who were killed in the Farhud?

Or how fatherless Jewish children in Yemen were forced to convert to Islam, even if their mothers were alive?

Or the 1933 anti-Jewish riots in Aden where Jews were stoned to death?

You know NOTHING. Just because you can type the word Mizrahi doesn't mean you know jack.



All post Zionism.

I have done the research. Do you know Brits, Arabs, and Zionists were in cahoots to kick out Mizrahis to Israel in order for Arabs to have Arab states and Israelis to have Israel?

Every Jewish pogrom in the Middle East was post Ottoman Empire control. The Ottoman Empire which reigned for 500 years was very kind to Jews and Arabs but that didn’t stop both from “rebelling” in favor of the British in Mandatory Palestine in order to get nationhood /independence



Doubling down on ignorance, huh?

451 -- Persian ruler Yazdegerd II forbids shabbat and orders the execution of Jewish leaders

624 -- 600 Jews decapitated in Medina (Saudi Arabia) in a single day

807 -- Jews in Caliphate ordered to wear yellow badges (no, the Nazis did not invent this)

1165-- forced mass conversions in Yemen

1333 -- forced mass conversions in Baghdad

1517 -- Pogrom in Hebron (West Bank)

1619-- Jews in Persia (Iran) forced to convert

It goes on and on.


None of this is Ottoman Empire Middle East. Fact is Jews and Arabs stabbed the Turks who treated both well in the back for the British. They believed in an anti semite colonizer regime To liberate them from Turks and support Arab and Jewish nationalism . They both got played


Oh my God, you are insufferable!

Here's a partial list of atrocities Jews endured under the Ottoman Empire, happy?

Throughout the 1860s, the Jews of Libya were subjected to punitive taxation.

In 1864, around 500 Jews were killed in Marrakech and Fezin Morocco.

In 1869, 18 Jews were killed in Tunis, and an Arab mob looted Jewish homes and stores, and burned synagogues, on Jerba Island.

In 1875, 20 Jews were killed by a mob in Demnat, Morocco; elsewhere in Morocco, Jews were attacked and killed in the streets in broad daylight.

In 1891, the leading Muslims in Jerusalem asked the Ottoman authorities in Constantinople to prohibit the entry of Jews arriving from Russia.

In 1897, synagogues were ransacked and Jews were murdered in Tripolitania.

An important instance of anti-Semitism around this time was the Damascus affair, in which many Jews in Damascus (which was then under the leadership of Muhammad Ali of Egypt) were arrested after being accused of murdering the Christian Father Thomas and his servant in an instance of blood libel. While the authorities under Sharif Pasha, Egyptian governor of Damascus, tortured the accused until they confessed to the crime, and killed two Jews who refused to confess, prominent European Jews such as Adolphe Crémieux demanded the release of the condemned

One potent symbol of Jewish degradation was the phenomenon of stone-throwing at Jews by Muslim children.

This is what you call "kind."


I said the Mizrahis had an Easier time in comparison to Europe and that is still true. I also called the Turks kind. I didn’t Call the Arabs kind. I said the Turks were kind to the Arabs and to the Jews and they got backstabbed by both in favor of the British who promised to help both people with nationalism and who promised Jerusalem to both the Arabs and the Jews. This is not hearsay. This is fact. Jewish people probably didn’t know Brits were doing backdoor deals with Arabs in the region regarding oil , and Arabs didn’t know that Brits were doing backdoor deals with Jews to promise them Palestine
