Allowing pro-Israel people to claim antisemitism as the motive in criticizing Israel is bad-faith crap. However, Islamophobia is a problem in pro-Israel spaces. And this is widely known.

Every accusation a confession

fuck off with that shit. we don't need to hear your phony concerns when children are getting vaporized

I've seen this take before bsky.app/profile/ygal...

Reminds me of this classic

Just going to refer the rabbi here

I’m sure this is an excellent book but ‘Kevin M. Levin’ sounds like a guy desperately trying to come up with a fake name on the spot

Going for a double bluff “nobody would make up a name that sounds that made up”

He's a well-established Civil War historian, just FYI.

You suspect his middle might be Mevin?

A little!

Came here to post the same book.

Surprised they didn't reach for the obvious example: kapos. once again, criticism of Israel is not inherently anti-semitic. That usually involves generalizing about an entire people, which, um, this guy is doing.

Don’t worry, they call us that all the time 😓

Small reminder that there's no hyphen in antisemitic. Some info attached 😊

Spelling of antisemitism - IHRAholocaustremembrance.com Antisemitism vs anti-Semitism – a hyphen can make a difference. Learn about why the unhyphenated spelling is preferred by experts in the field.

These are Zionists who are weaponizing world Jewry as their human shield for right wing nationalism. Then they decry “antisemitism” as they conflate Judaism with Zionism. Who’s the real antisemite again? It’s right wing nationalists.

Appalling. Do these people listen try themselves?

I just can’t

They are so caught up in what might happen to them or what someone said or a sign they saw they can’t bring themselves to recognize and condemn what IS happening in Palestine-the systematic annihilation of a trapped populace in Gaza with nowhere to go. It’s disgusting.

One (of many) ironies is our country specifically chose to distance itself from religion, defending another country (of many) inexorably linked to one religion. A benefit of the former is plausible political deniability of a religion in the actions of a politician.

there is a severe moral crisis among Rabbis these last 75 years

if selling out made a sound it would sound like that. they just gotta know they're talking out their ass to appeal to right wingers

Black confederates? Paging Dr Levin...

Good book! uncpress.org/book/9781469...

Searching for Black Confederates | Kevin M. Levin | University of North Carolina Pressuncpress.org More than 150 years after the end of the Civil War, scores of websites, articles, and organizations repeat claims that anywhere between 500 and 100,000 free ...

Citing the largely forced labor of Black people in service of the Confederate army as some kind of parallel to JVP certainly is a choice...

What did you think you were doing, as a movement, when you pointed to Jewish members as if they had the same rights as Israeli citizens to call for an end to the Israeli state? What did you think it meant that you knew 85% of Jews oppose you? You didn't know you were doing "These are the good ones"?

An explicit comparison is being made between anti-genocide Jews and Black slave owners. I think you understand the rhetorical stakes of that.

Even as you're called out for doing it, you can't stop yourself from smearing a minority group as inherently genocidal, or trying to police how its members feel about some of them trying to make a terrible thing happen to half of all of the group's members in the whole world.

Because these people aren't even fully human to you, you see nothing wrong with trying to make something terrible happen to them. So someone calling that out probably does seem nonsensical to you.

You are projecting.

Israel paints Palestinians as 'animals' to legitimize war crimes: Israeli scholarwww.aa.com.tr Israel 'dehumanizes Palestinians in claims that they are immoral,' Israeli professor of international law and human rights Neve Gordon tells Anadolu - Anadolu Ajansı

Reality is kryptonite for the Zionist

‘Something terrible’ like… allowing the people whose entire lives they control to vote?

Palestinians should vote for the government of THEIR state, Palestine. Their state would not be occupied by the neighboring state if they gave up the goal of annihilating it.

what does this say about your view of black people?

Well, beyond her hating Black people there's not much she actually knows about Black history

You're one of those Gen Xers so fully taken in by hysterical islamophobia because you're ~anti-religion~ but in reality you're just a white supremacist You even joined a cult and a judge said keep your crap away from your kid, right?

Sorry, no one here ordered a word salad.

I am not smearing anyone, nor am I generalizing (you are doing both). I am speaking only and precisely about the politics of those being smeared as the equivalent of slave-owners.

go talk to your kids about this oh wait

No one cares how genociders and those who love them feel

See? Sociopaths.

You belong to a hitler cult

Of course the little fascist monkey knew. He just thought that that he could get away with it.

Zionists are out here adding more evidence of their racism. Gross.
