Oh so you can read his mind? You are omniscient?

If you cared about democracy or human rights, you wouldn’t spend your time defending the state of Israel (or the US) and focus your derision on the people fighting against them. Do you believe in universal human rights, or only human rights for Israelis, Americans and our “allies.”

If anyone is taking the side of murderers, it is you. The US government and all its proxies (Israel) have killed, displaced and maimed more people than Hamas or any other resistance group ever could. Maybe you should reexamine your values.

So there’s no difference between events for Jews or e events for Israel for you. These killings were the same as the tree of Life massacre in your head?

Like you’re better off just blocking me, otherwise you’re going to realize the contradictions of liberal Zionism and have a crisis of values, like I did during Operation Protective Edge in 2015.

Why did he kill them? Was it because he hated Jews? Would he have killed me if he met me on the street? Why did he not go to any synagogue from Chicago instead of traveling thousands of miles to an event for the Israeli embassy?

The guy killed was a German gentile. Explain how that’s anti-semitism.

By focusing on and condemning the violent responses of Hamas and other Palestinian resistance groups, you are enabling the root cause of the violence: the settler-colonial state of Israel. Israel was born on the concept of removing the native population from their land. This is the result.

Let’s be clear, the murder of those two embassy employees was not anti-semitism. It was a political killing. Violence begets violence- Hamas, this isolated act of vigilantism in D.C., are responses to the ethnic cleansing, apartheid and genocide committed by the Israeli state.

I am an anti-Zionist, as most American Jews were prior to the establishment of the state of Israel and the intense trauma of the Holocaust. I want peace and democracy in Palestine. But there will be no peace without justice.

I visited the encampment at UCLA the day before they were attacked by a bunch of Zionist losers in the middle of the night. I taught the students in the encampment at Chapman university about Shabbat and broke bread with them.

Listen I’m just a Jewish guy from Southern California who has worked and volunteered for various progressive unions and NGOs. I can only speak for my personal experience. The most anti-semitism I have experienced is in the form of micoragressions from people making bad jokes.

100

Please explain where I am wrong instead of resorting to petty insults.

000

Pure projection on your part. This conversation started because I criticized liberals constant need to chastise the left instead of working with them to end a live holocaust. Reexamine your priorities.

Oct 7th was a tragedy. I’m not going to claim that no sexual violence occurred. It’s impossible to know considering that Israel refused to allow the UN to investigate the claims of sexual violence. Oct. 7th did not occur in a vacuum.

100

Ok Matt. If you really want a dialogue about this I will give you one. But I’m warning you, it’s too difficult to talk about in short form tweets. This is not antisemitism. This is a person being mean to you on the internet because you equated Oct. 7th to a genocide.

I voted for Dems in my local elections. I didn’t vote for Harris because I live in California and she promised there would be no meaningful change from Biden’s policy on Palestine. She didn’t deserve my vote.

000

The republicans are actively a fascist party. The democrats are their enablers. Of course they’re not the same, but that does not make one of them “good.” Look at how Newsome has adopted some of the right’s rhetoric about trans people and immigrants for example.

200

Beautiful case of straw manning here. Incredible work to compare the people agitating to end a genocide to the Nazis. Please define what “rhetoric and actions” I have taken that resemble the hate group that murdered half of my family. I will wait.

200

What does this accomplish? Think about it. Who is actually working to stop this holocaust? Because that is the priority.

200

If you spend your time chastising the left when both parties are facilitating a genocide, then there is a problem with what you prioritize and your behavior. I’m specifically responding to what you prioritize your time with.

300

It was justified to not vote for the party that was administering a genocide. Obviously that does not mean voting for the open fascists. But would you, in good conscience, vote for the party that killed your family? I wouldn’t.
