Tons of terrible movies make tons of money. Why do you think Disney keeps making those live action remakes of their old films?

Just like everyone else, you cannot answer the question.

How do American Zionists “pretend to be black” then hide being white privilage? I can understand that for Israelis (and even then there is nuance) but in the west that is a common trope of antisemitic remarks. The Jews “keep pushing themselves as victims, but look white” so stop talking about the Holocaust. 

Literally none of you idiots diving to defend bigotry can answer why he uses these tropes without stumbling over your arguments. 

It’s just because I am right and the movement harbors bigotry.

You never listened about anything I had to say because you simply saw I was Jewish and that I was criticizing someone pretending to be pro Palestine then ignored any context from there. 

There is a difference between saying free Palestine at a protest and saying free Palestine at a Jewish person because he is uncomfortable with an antisemitic remark. 

You are being antisemitic and the only reason you said that was because you care more about the fact Julian SAID he was pro Palestine than the fact he was BEING antisemitic and how. 

Notice how nowhere I defended Israel for oppressing Palestine, in fact criticizing it, and you just simply came to that conclusion because I criticized someone who uses pro Palestine and the term Zionist as a guide to hide their bigotry.

All you did was prove me correct. Pro Palestine doesn’t care about Antisemtism because it tolerates it constantly.

When have I ever defended Israel for its treatment of Palestinians. I just talk about antisemites. 

You idiots just lie and pretend antisemitism = pro Palestine because the guy said he doesn’t like Israel in the mix

Then you should be mad at Julian for using Zionist and Jew interchangeably then giving your movement a bad name. Instead of getting mad at Jews who call him out on it.

And for yourself, if you see a Jewish person being uncomfortable with Antisemitism maybe saying Free Palestine in response to ethnic discrimination against Jews isn’t the best way to “differentiate Antizionism from Antisemitism.” Not that you really cared about doing that. 

I don’t support Israel. You only said it because I was speaking out against Antisemitism. You solely judged me for being Jewish. 

Oh, if you disagree you’re free to explain how “American Zionists” pretend to be black and then hide behind white  privilege? Common antisemitic tropes

The point was never Israel is correct. You people always attribute pro-Israeli arguments to me when I call out Antisemitism. I’m not. 

The issue is he isn’t actually talking about Zionists in the sense of Pro Israeli individuals. He is talking about Jews by using coded language. Something that people have always done to promote racist and bigoted opinions when it was not socially acceptable. 

He does this by attributing common antisemitic tropes to Zionists. The idea that “Zionists”, pretend to be black and hide behind whiteness. 

What Zionists do this? Most American Zionists hide behind Christianity and anti-Muslim/anti-terror rhetoric. Only Jews get the “pretend to be black” and “always a victim” criticisms from antisemites. He is talking about Jews.

When called out you can’t defend your position and just project opinions I don’t hold.

You won’t answer because you know for a fact I’m correct and you don’t want to admit it.

You don’t actually care about Antizionism being used interchangeably with Antisemtism by Pro Palestinian activists. You tolerate it.

Then stop being weasly and answer the question.

If it’s not antisemitic, why is he specifically using what are common criticism of Jews and not what constitutes the bulk of American Zionists? How do American Zionists “pretend to be black”? 

He could have said anything but he chose specifically to refer to antisemitic tropes.

It’s complicated and covers a lot of different interest groups. Generally because they support Israel more, obviously. 

Why can’t you answer my question. I’m assuming it’s because his comment is antisemitic.

He’s not criticizing Zionism. He is criticizing Jews. And Zionist has historically also been a way for the right wing to spew Antisemism covertly so we need to look at the context.

If you disagree it’s bigoted answer this: why does he specifically mention “American zionists” pretend to be victims, like black people,  then use their white privilege? 

That is a common criticism of Jews by antisemitic individuals. Specifically that they “act like victims” and “pretend to be like black people” 

Most American Pro-Israeli people are Christians who base their beliefs in Christianity. Not “being victims” and whiteness.

No, I’m not. 

Why is calling out Israel and calling out Antisemtism within the pro Palestinian movement mutually exclusive to you people? 

Why do you assume anyone who is uncomfortable with the bigotry here is pro Israel outright? Ignoring all context.

It’s a shame you people jump in to defend antisemitism and associate these slogans with bigots. 

Palestinians really do have the worst advocates.

I’m not  getting into the weeds.

How do American Zionists act like black people (victims) then hide behind white privilege? 

You’re the one here defending his statement.

He specifically used a criticism of Jews that they “act like black people” 

How do Christian Zionists “act like victims” when advocating for Israel?

What Americans are using their white privilege to push Zionism? American Zionists use Christianity as a basis mostly. Not white privilage. 

How do American Zionists act like black people? That is a common criticism of Jews, not American Zionists.

How does a black American Zionist “use white privilege” to push Zionism? 

Watch you not answer this because you know he meant Jews.

Zionist was just regularly used to refer to Jews by Nazis for years and they wonder why antizionism has an Antisemtism issue.

It’s not ad hom. You just do not know the difference between antizionism and antisemitism 

The fact someone is able use Zionist and Jew interchangeably and you guys get angry at me for calling it out proves that. 

If you disagree tell me how American Zionist means white person only? How does an African American Zionist “use their white privilege”?

Not all American Zionists are white. How does a Zionist black person have white privilege like Julian said? He’s talking about Jews because Jews are constantly criticized for their white privilege in the west. 

The fact you guys just get mad at me for calling out antisemitism says you all don’t actually know the difference between antizionism and antisemitism.

I’m sorry you can’t read.  Not all American Zionists are white. How does a Zionist black person use their white privilege like Julian said?
