We are still on this because it is a good way for the Republicans to divide the Democrats. Kind of how we talked about butheremails for an entire election cycle. 

I hope to God you’re a troll.

Personal experience. People I’ve talked to. Experience online, where, in certain circles, support for Israel is equated with support for apartheid and genocide.

Is it happening somewhere? Twitter maybe? Links please!!!! Because I really need someplace to gloat over Bibi’s downfall, to take a break from this whole ‘Jews don’t know antisemitism when they see it’ crap.

YOU.DO.NOT.GET.TO.EXPLAIN.TO.A.MINORITY.GROUP.WHAT.SHOULD.OR. SHOULD.NOT.BE.OFFENSIVE.TO.THEM. You would not try this shit with explaining to black folks that blackface or the ‘clean and articulate’ line is racist. You don’t lecture Native Americans about overreacting to the Elizabeth Warren DNA test. You have sense…

I’m sorry, who are you to say what is and isn’t an antisemitic trope? That Jews use their money to buy governments of countries where they live to further whatever international Jewish goals/Israel is absolutely an antisemitic trope. And this specific one - about evil Zionist, but of course not all Jews - was cooked…

I mean, this is getting reported on -WaPo and NYT for starters. It’s the collective outrage sh*tstorm that’s not happening. And I do think that that is because it doesn’t fit the ‘Israel is the worst country on Earth’ narrative in certain outrage-driving circles.

Israel has one of the most horrific human rights records in recent history? Anything to support that claim, citizen of a country that puts kids in cages, has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world, and has caused thousands of deaths in its ME wars? I mean it’s nice to know that all those refugees we’re…

I think you missed the last line of my post. The bill is stupid. The anti-BDS bill does not, however, magically negate the likelihood (based on history) that claiming (or even accidentally hinting) that Jews control the US govt to the detriment of non-Jews gets Jews killed.

Would you mind if I, as a Jewish refugee from the former USSR, decide for myself what can and cannot be interpreted as an antisemitic trope?

You may want to check your facts. US Jews are one of the most consistently Dem-voting blocs in the country, and that has not changed. There are no “” around terrorists - they actually do exist. Now why Bibi’s government prefers Republicans is an actual question, and perhaps should be framed as such.

As it turns out, BDS doesn’t really harm Israel economically. The people it has targeted more successfully are Israeli academics. Oh, and it started a trend of asking American Jews to state their position on Israel as a purity test in liberal circles. What do you call targeting people based on ethnicity or nation of…

She is not getting criticized *by US Jews* for saying mean things about Bibi or the two-state solution - she is getting criticizes *by US Jews* for implying that support for Israel is paid for by Jews, and supporting Israel is allegiance to a foreign power and against US interests. And that should be the only…

I’d think the opposite - it would show Israel doing something positive. Which is why it won’t get coverage.

There is no Semitic people or culture - the term itself defines a group of languages. More importantly - the dude who coined the term ‘antisemitism’ explained exactly what it meant. Do you argue that Islamophobia doesn’t encompass hatred because phobia means fear? Or that secular folks from Muslim countries can’t be…

1. She did not criticize Israel but accused Americans who support it (unclear if current govt or right to exist, btw, because Twitter) of being paid by Jews;

Just curious if you plan a follow-up about the journals who published this guy’s work. They kinda owe the public an explanation about how something so bogus got published.

This is the future liberals want.

Except she has her own version of the GND, which she shared with those kids. Linked here:

She was responding to a line (clearly written by an adult) about ‘we voted for you to ....’ If the Sunrise movement can’t put together a better script, that’s on them.
