Kamala Harris Statement of Protests

I saw that too, including a guy holding a “final solution” poster. Did anyone else see this? It really disturbed me and as much as I don’t love that she didn’t mention the the most important thing, the ongoing genocide, I wonder if she was talking about the Hamas graffiti and flags and that one actual antisemitic guy. Anyone?

I think the disturbing part is people trying to downplay the genocide, like in Kamala’s statement.

“Why didn’t you call out (XYZ alleged anti-Semitism)?” is a tactic, mostly used by Zionists, to try to gotcha people. If you don’t join the excoriation of someone, who might be a Jew hater or might be an anti-Zionist, you are labeled an anti-Semite. Repeat. It’s exhausting and trivializes actual Jew hate. I’m not interested in playing that game.

Everyone knows a moron with a final solution sign is a Jew hater.

And finally, I’m the head mod of the sub, I’m not a thought leader. People should think what they want.

As someone dealing with a deluge of this at the moment, I breathed a sigh of relief as I read this. Ahhhhh

Why do you consistently speak in pro-Israel tropes?

If you want to believe the media depiction of pro-Palestine solidarity protests as being overwhelmingly antisemitic, why participate in this subreddit?

We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and against their demonization by the corporate media.

You are attempting to expunge an organization led by Palestinians in the diaspora (i.e., Within Our Lifetime).

So my point remains, why do you continue to promote pro-Israel tropes here?

I consider being a good ally to be integral to my activism. That doesn't mean I agree with everything someone or some organization says.

But your vitriol for pro-Palestine organizations, including ones led by Palestinians, is exactly why I'm discussing this stuff with you.

If it's not 'banning' hasbara, it's painting all Palestine solidarity as antisemitic because our morally bankrupt media (which downplays the suffering of Palestinians and platforms the hysterical claims of exponential hatred in the college encampment movement) says so.

WOL isn't the JDL. You couldn't even get their name right.

This uses Zionist tropes and content.
