[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The jury is in on this one …

What I learned this week regarding the mobilization of Zionists and Zionist allies to threaten and intimidate community organizations into backing out of events because scheduled speakers called for a cease fire at some point over the past two years - absolutely grotesque conduct, and sadly validation of all past experiences, as well.

It boils down to this for me. If you cannot find a way to oppose the loss of innocent life, regardless of any other circumstances surrounding that loss of life, you are clearly, squarely part of the problem.

Please provide an example of “zionists and Zionist allies” threatening and intimidating a speaker solely over the fact that they called for a ceasefire at some point. I am a Zionist and agree that’s unreasonable. If you mean a speaker who called for a ceasefire on October 8, then yeah, that person should be viewed with some suspicion IMO.

You’re not going to see any argument from me on your second point. If you can’t see the loss of innocent life on either side of this conflict as a tragedy then you’re in the wrong. I think though, that sympathy for the Jewish victims (to the limited extent there was any) seemed to basically dissipate on October 8. See here for an example of what I’m talking about: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/nation/demonstrators-rally-across-the-u-s-in-response-to-conflict-between-israel-and-hamas. And many Jews now see the same people who were silent about or tacitly supportive of October 7 now bemoaning the situation of the Palestinians (which I agree is horrific, even if partially of their own making).[/quote]
