Do you think physical distance is keeping the data safely within our borders?

And you have a population that largely supports the actions of the government.

It’s not the government just doing what it pleases, it’s doing what its population wants it to do.

Say it loud for those in the back, it’s not just the leaders.

Perhaps this is a case where we’re misunderstanding each other (no doubt more so in my case.) I must be missing something because I don’t find the intent behind my response to be embarrassing, but I am open to the fact that it reads differently than I intended.

What I reject is that I need to be afraid of speaking up against Israel (or to the Zionists abroad) or to be afraid of the “anti-Semitic” label. To your point, there are reasons to be afraid, to be careful. But to me we must speak the truth despite those reasons. Part of that truth is undoubtedly that the Israeli government is empowered by the Christians in the US and in turn the US government.

I am NOT anti-Semitic, but I’m confident in my belief that calling out ANYONE (regardless of their religion) for their support of the Palestinian genocide is the right thing. If someone is to label that anti-Semitic I believe they are weaponizing that term.

May I ask pointedly, what specifically are you saying to be careful of?

The fuck I do! Supporters of the genocide deserve to be called out no matter their religion, but it also needs to be called out when people support the genocide and utilize the charge of anti-semitism to justify it.

At this rate, “anti-semitism” is starting to mean anti-genocide.

Anyone who doesn’t believe in a two-state solution is a terrorist to me.

Third truth, it’s not just Israeli leaders who are promoting the violence against Palestine, and many of those that do use their Judaism as a shield against criticism.

I simply cannot fathom that an event that should never be forgotten is forgotten by people who belong to the group it happened to.

That is, until they use it to deflect any criticism of their actions.
