benthetable.bsky.social @benthetable.bsky.social · 10/08/2026The context matters here though. If these were teens in America, you'd be on the money. But those teens spit at Christians because of bigotry towards ethnic and religious minorities in Israel, not because they disapprove of supersessionism. 030 0

Reposted by @benthetable.bsky.socialJoel S. @joelhs.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Netanyahu being bad is a load-bearing tenet of liberal Zionist ideology, since it lets you square the circle of the obvious tensions between Zionism and liberalism by offloading it all onto one guy who you can blame for ruining the project. But that requires you to actually, you know, criticize him. 37712 0

benthetable.bsky.social @benthetable.bsky.social · 06/08/2026The ICC didn't indict Netanyahu for genocide.
