Political vigil... for genocide victims... for people murdered in a genocide... I guess having a holocaust remembrance day at work is a political act now?
We live in the most depressing timeline. Please vote for genociders. They won't stop the genocide. But they also won't turn America overnight into a dictatorship. It's the best of 2 profoundly horrifying and depressing options. Another decade of international American war crimes awaits either way. But at the least, the status quo for Americans is better than fascism.
So for political benefit we should suppress discussion of american complicity in genocide? I'm not sure that qualifies as understandable.
You can peruse my comment history and see how often I argue against zionists and then get back to me on how well I'm doing spreading their propaganda 🙄
The zionist ideology has no relation to ancient Judaism. Aside from its constant allusions to recreating the ancient state of Israel. There is literally no connection. Trying to draw one is to imply that there has been some murderous genocidal element of Jewish people that has existed throughout history and persisted to the present date. Nothing you or anyone else defending the commenter has said makes literally any sense unless you can somehow draw a continuity between ancient Judaism and zionists. You can't. Zionism came to fruition in the 19th century. It was a concerted colonialist project. It has literally not one single thing to do with the supposed actions of ancient Jewish people.
The commenter also was alluding to Jewish people having been responsible for the death of Jesus Christ. Not that they were radical far right. Specifically that they were responsive for the death of Jesus Christ. That notion whatsoever is a literal mainstay of antisemitism. To then try and allude to something about the "jews who killed christ" that persists and is represented to this day in zionism is textbook definitional antisemitism. It's saying that jews are murderous in some underlying inherent way. I don't know what to tell you it's the truth.
Now, before you accuse me of supporting Israel again, a state I literally believe should be dismantled in its entirety and who I know to be controlled by a genocidal party in a genocidal government with a genocidal military leading over a population indoctrinated to support genocide, kindly go do something else. I'm not a psyop or whatever you're going to accuse me of being. I'm not an idiot either, I know what is and isn't antisemitic. Criticism of the state of Israel, of the IDF, of the colonizing ideology of Zionism, none of those things are antisemitic. Trying to say that there is something inherent to Jewish people that makes them nefarious or murderous or evil? That is antisemitic. The commenter made an antisemitic comment. It was removed in like 2 minutes. It was textbook antisemitism. It was not a critique of zionism.
I guess calling ancient Jewish people murderers and then saying, "maybe nothing has changed" is totally cool to you or something?
Why did you say "jews" and not "jewish extremists" like.... what are you even talking about.. Who are the jewish extremists youre even talking about in the first century lmao and what do present day zionists have to do with jewish extremists from the first century besides them both being jewish??
You clearly haven't even thought for 2 seconds about what it is that you said. Maybe you ought to when making claims about jewish people. I despise zionism, just as I despise the IDF and the state of Israel. I would never make an allusion to some connection between modern zionists and ancient jewish people. You said jews and you meant it. Get out of the anti-zionist movement for god sake.
Do you have a plan to radicalize enough people to topple the current regime by election day?
Or is your plan to tell me that I shouldn't care that Trump is openly allied with people who want to commit genocide against queer people like me? Do you have a plan for your queer friends if he wins? Would you have me see their deaths as permissible if he wins? Or inevitable? Is your message of radicalization "you might die but it's fine because the other government that wouldn't have killed you was also fascist"?
