Topic	Pro-Israeli counter protestors attack anti-genocide protestors at UCLA camp
HHH_is_the_game 05/02/24 10:18:39 AM #22:	Fenriswolf posted... Tell me, do you think those BLM protesters calling for abolition of police want to round up police and their families to be slaughtered? No? I mean....is it not obvious why this is not the same thing? Hamas literally did slaughter Jews and their families, so obviously hearing echoes of the language Hamas uses in this situation is EXTREMELY different than anything BLM has said? Fenriswolf posted... In contrast, elected far right politicians are openly falling for murder of Palestinians, and calling Palestine supporters "Hamas supporters" is a common dogwhistle. Yeah, it's EXTREMELY messed up. Hopefully you will be much better than that. There are dogwhistles from the pro-Palestinian side too, so reject them. It just seems like despite the left being the party that protects minorities, any concerns or worries of antisemitism seem to be brushed off. Even the way 'Zionist' is used as if it was a dirty word, when to many people 'Zionist' just means thinking Israel has the right to exist. By that definition Id think most jews are 'zionists' even if they hate the israeli government and think it needs to be stopped. Zionist does not mean pro-genocide or pro-Israel bombing people, or at least to many it does not. I guarantee that there are many Jewish people watching these things and feeling frightened about what it will do for anti-semitism going forward, and seeing the anti-semitism that does exist not being called out and rejected, and actually brushed off or defended is really scary to see. ESPECIALLY when its the left of all people. To be clear, there is nothing anti-semitic about protesting Israel's government and their actions --- Shelton undoubtedly wants Cena's championship belt. And Cena undoubtedly wants Shelton's black heritage.- looseiver <cite>HHH_is_the_game posted [p:980202394] in Pro-Israel...
