If you reduce protests against the ethnic cleansing in Gaza to "anti Semitism" you will get the quickest block from me. Few things have made Jews as unsafe or been more of an insult to our values than knee jerk support for the Netanyahu government.

Not only Netanyahu is a war criminal but Oct 7th happened on his watch too and ultimately he’s responsible for it…..All this carnage so that he could stay out of jail …
Yeah, man. Some of the shit I saw on Oct. 8th, right after the terrorist attack, before all the bodies had been collected, left an impression on me. Now I have trouble prioritizing all of the other balls I care about.
Whether or not this is true is completely irrelevant to your justification of murder of men, women, children in a nature party, in their homes, in the streets
Ethnic and racial discrimination is unacceptable, but *obviously* it's acceptable to criticize the actions of a nation-state. You may think my criticism is wrong headed, but "a country is doing a bad thing" is a reasonable thing to say about *any* country.
This disingenuous strain of Zionism is fueling staggering death in Gaza and the degradation of the American political
system. As a Jew, I feel particularly compelled to denounce it.
My caveat is that there are loud elements of the anti-Israel protest movement that seems to engage in a bunch of the classic conspiracy theories about Jews but replaces "Jew" with "Zionist " or "Israel ".
People in the left are required to disavow any statement by their fellow travelers that go too far. I have never seen a hint of such a requirement from those on the right.
I can’t imagine the stress in the Jewish community. Everyone outside is worried you might support Netanyahu and terrified to engage and then inside there are families and friends torn apart by it.
I’m not Jewish but I’m legit worried about the eventual cost of wiping out Gaza.
Honest question: I'm a huge, longtime TPM fan, but didn't Josh say calling the genocide in Gaza ignorant? Is it still ignorant, or is there a difference between e.c. and genocide? Has his position changed?
I don't speak for him, or him for me. Still, that's not the term I use personally. It involves a very high percentage elimination of a population that, thank god, we have not seen yet in Gaza. Ethnic cleansing involves a deliberate attempt to violently remove and kill a specific population.

Entering home by home in an entire town and slaughtering grandmas with a kitchen knife isn't terrorism.
Burning homes to try and force families out to be kidnapped or murdered isn't terrorism.
You lost your humanity.
You are part of the problem

If you are saying that BECAUSE things are unfair that folks using antisemitic tropes should get a pass, I do not agree.

For every action…
Equating all people of a religion with a single state, means you're not considering the diversity of the people.
To do this to jews, is antisemitism in its own right.
