Fuck these counter-protestors. I hope the reporters press charges. It really seems like the majority of the violence is started by the counter-protestors, but apparently this is what Zionism is all about.
Didn't you hear? Congress just expanded the definition of antisemitism, criticizing Zionism or the state of Israel is now doing hate crimes.
I mean you can still attack people of color while screaming racial epithets and get booked for a misdemeanor, but criticizing a state? Hate crime.
This is totally progressive because we have to protect all of our white passing minorities with deep pockets, they're clearly the most disadvantaged minority in America......
As a POC it's kinda disheartening to see just how quickly Congress can move to protect "minority" groups when it suits them. It took them a year of targeted violence against Asian people that culminated with a murder spree for them to attempt anything. Now Israeli nationalist physically attack peaceful protestors and they make it illegal to criticize an entire state?
I feel bad for the Jewish people standing up to their governments genocidal intent. The only logical conclusion of the American and Israeli government forced conflation of ethnicity and state is a rise in actual antisemitism.
You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villian is such a real thing. We as a country progressed so far and made this country a place where EVERYONE wanted to live. Then all of a sudden nazis/racists everywhere the eye can see. Then the worst part, like you mentioned, is that they are so quick to claim victim and abuse when it suits them, but brown and black people asking for recognition/help totally unacceptable.
What does it mean when the Jews themselves are the nazis? What does it mean when the group of people that the whole world has recognized as having extreme hardships that they went to literal war for it, now is trying their hand at the same playbook? They Israelis are 1 step away from gas chambering people and yet they don't recognize they deep seated flaws and hypocrisy.
