Wow that's some straight up antisemitism right there. Sorry, but there isn't some secret Jewish Cabal controlling the world.

Go outside and touch some grass, ok?

Hi there. Jewish person here. The people you are accusing of being antisemitic are 100% right. AIPAC has controlled the American political stance on Israel for decades.

If you care about American Jews, stop associating them with Israel. That is what is getting us harassed and attacked, being automatically associated with Israel.

Yeah this is the internet and I can claim that I'm a Palestinian that thinks that Netanyahu is completely in the right. Which proves what exactly?

Also note that racism towards "Cosmopolitan Jews" was a way a certain group used as a gateway for people that weren't willing to be antisemitic towards all Jews. But we know how that ended.

So today it's considered to be good and correct to hate "zionist jews" by those who would normally think antismeitsm is wrong. Meanwhile in my city there's an Israeli consullate, but the protesters don't go there, they protest in the middle of a Jewish community, and have attempted to burn down Jewish businesses. While you're distinguishing between "~~cosmopolitan~~ zionist jews" and other jews, there are many people in the Palestinian movement who are not.

We need to stop looking the other way about what this is really about. An antisemitic movement that wants to restore the ethnic makeup of a geographic area to the way it was in a history book by the use of extreme violence. "Blood and soil", "from the river to the sea" same shit different century.

I'm not a Jew but my grandfather fought in a war against people that did the same things the Palestinian movement is doing right now. Jews went along with the movement my grandfather fought against too, you know. So the same bullshit from a century ago and how it affected my grandfather means a bit more than your unverifiable claims about being a jew. This ain't about you, this is about fascists trying to burn down Jewish businesses in the city I live in after my grandfather sacrificed a lot to fight against that kind of evil.

Now go on and make excuses for the violent actions of the fascists in your movement like a good useful idiot.
