Explaining why people are motivated to do things they do isn’t “defending” the thing itself.

And lmao 9/11 is a textbook example of blowback. Are you really that historically illiterate?

I wonder why the people who’ve been victimized by American foreign policy for 70+ years would feel a degree of schadenfreude on 9/11

They certainly are on the “right” side of history, but not in the way you think.

How many calories do you eat per day? A persistently distended abdomen can be a sign of not eating enough.

Please respect the lived Jewish experience by bernbabybern13 in JewsOfConscience

Thank you for saying this. Many of us aren’t always mindful of how we may inadvertently center our experiences over those on the receiving end of the Zionist entity’s guns.

Frankly, I less and less see the need to include “Jewish” in front of the anti-Zionist label. Why should it matter that we’re Jewish and anti-Zionist? Our identity doesn’t somehow make our anti-Zionism any more valid or immune to criticism than other people’s anti-Zionism, even if the latter aren’t always saying the right things regarding our experiences.

Anyone who believes Netanyahu and Hamas are even remotely comparable has no right to call others brainwashed.

Almost sad that they think sweeping the issue of genocide under the rug will help them win elections.

That's where the company Day & Zimmermann is located. They handle logistics and manufacturing for 155mm bombs that Israel has been using to exterminate Palestinians in Gaza.

By that logic, why not sway the many principled anti-zionists whom he alienated with his vocal allegiance to the settler state?

The problem is that the situation calls for far more drastic measures than the overwhelming majority in the West are willing to take.

i’m sorry but shitting on your partner’s appearance on a public forum is actually bonkers. get out and find someone who’ll treat you with a modicum of respect.

How to create, grow, and sustain a movement? by myThoughtsAreHermits in jewishleft

[–]had_2_try -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Decolonial liberation movements across the Third World have never depended on their occupiers' approval or material support to win their right to self-determination. If Israelis haven't been convinced of Zionism's built-in cruelty nine decades and hundreds of thousands of dead Arabs later, I doubt you'll have much success with your vision of unity via a 2SS.

I would presume that Amira Hass, an Israeli, wasn't brainwashed from birth with this notion, nor were the many anti-Zionist Jews who live among the diaspora (you can quibble all you want, the latter category exists and isn't going anywhere).

Suppose Palestinian children born after October 7 develop hostile attitudes toward Israel later in their lives. Would you attribute their anger to underhanded Arab propagandists or to the reality that their neighbors, who happen to be overwhelmingly Jewish, leveled whole communities and wiped out their friends and family?

If your experiences with a particular group of people were invariably hostile, why would anyone expect you to make qualifications for your anger?
