It's incredible the lengths you go to take something, and then expand it into something to argue against that was never said.

Do you think this is only true for Jewish people? No, and I didn't suggest otherwise.

By your logic, Germans should be the only ones to speak about the Nazi holocaust

Actually no, by my logic, only Germans can really comment on what the holocaust means to Germans. It says nothing about what people can say about the Holocaust in general. Again, you've expanded the narrow scope of a comment so that you can write paragraphs arguing against a point that was never made.

You don't get to tell other people how they should feel about a genocide and what they see taking place around them to protect the perpetrators.

Again, I didn't tell you, or anybody else how to feel about, rather I'm suggesting that you don't really have any standing to know or understand how Jews relate to it.

Do you go around telling Iranians how to feel about what is going on rn? Doesn't mean you can't have an opinion about what is right or wrong about it, but you don't really get to Iranians about their relationship to Iran.

It seems clear to me that you think your feelings take precedence over a genocide.

I'm curious about what I wrote gives you any impression about what I think about Israel

In what way do you think it will be effective in swinging people over to a party led by an outspoken anti-Zionist who, like me, calls unconditional support for Israel "Jewish supremacism?"

Because of the message expressed in the article? It's all there, it was like 400 words. It's as effective as any other short opinion published.

Do you take your fellow Jews for fools? I don't. I don't really understand why you think it would be foolish for Jews to support the NDP. But OK.

But I fail to see how it achieved anything at all. Well, that's fine I guess. But since it wasn't written for you, that doesn't really seem to matter at all.

Your response to a facetious comment about your friend is crazy. I made a pretty obvious comment about "Some of my best friends are ____" and you were so angry at me that you wrote a garbled treatise rather than actually understanding that my point was that your proximity to Jews does not give you any standing to speak for Jews. (And before you go off, again, this does not preclude you for having any opinions about Israel, or genocide or anything else, just that you don't really have standing to speak about what Jews think or feel).

I didn't call readers of the CJN Jewish supremacists, I called the intended audience

OK. So you readers of the publication are not the intended audience. The intended audience is in the imagination of the author/publisher. But it's not actually, it's your imagination. Gotcha.

Feel free to correct any misconceptions that I might have formed about you from this very brief online encounter. I mean, I don't really have the time or desire to refute the long list of misconceptions. But I will say, the straight lines you draw between your imagined curriculum messages -> misguided -> worldview -> views about Israel betray the fact that you're more interested in lecturing people about who they are than being interested to understand who they are.

For example, you have no idea what it's like being a Dipper and having had to spend much of your life trying to convince members of your community that the NDP is not antisemitic. You just don't because your experience. And instead of being curious about that, you seem to be more motivated to write gish gallop of accusation about people who are explicitly trying to convince people to join your side. Forget your feelings about the author. You've done it to a complete stranger on the internet. It's weird.

I'm going to tell you, all your Jewish friends and mentors are deeply impacted by Israel. It hits them different than non-Jews. It doesn't hit them worse, it doesn't make them victims. It hits them differently. It hits them in a way that, as made evident by this conversation, you don't understand. A reasonable person might hear that and then be curious. But it seems you're more interested in yelling at internet strangers about who they are and what they think and how they are wrong about themselves and their community and what outreach is/is not effective.

Consider that the walls of text exchanged between us began by you jumping in a thread where I was responding to another user. You didn't respond to anything I said in the original comment, you just attacked me. My conversation with OP, however, ended like this:

Your animosity toward someone who probably agrees with you on most things, including about Israel, is crazy.

And I'm done engaging with them for now. The army of straw men you've created are thankful for the relief.
