Well, she did say some fucked up things. But the other people mentioned in the article who were forced to resign basically just said “I’m against genocide” and were labeled as antisemites. That’s fucked up too.
What did Susan say that was fucked up? I didn't see anything terrible in the article itself
“There are a lot of people afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country.”
She’s being shitty to American Jews for something Israel’s government is doing and being overly indifferent to, if not supporting antisemitic violence in America.
She didn’t have to do that to make the point that American Muslims are also being treated badly and live in fear of retaliatory violence every time any Muslim commits a crime anywhere.
That's a bit of a stretch to jump to that conclusion, but OK
The worst part of what she said is that it dismisses the rampant antisemitism that the US has in its history and the continued antisemitism that Jews still suffer in the US to this day. Should people attack American citizens due to US government foreign policy? Because that’s what she’s implying is ok for American Jews due to Israeli Government actions.
Did she? I watched the video and it just sounds like she's expressing support for Palestine and suggesting others do the same.
Outrage tourists gonna outrage
If being against genocide is antisemitic, genocide is an inherent trait of Judaism - if that's the case, there's a pretty strong argument to be made that they should be wiped out. It's an incredibly stupid, antisemitic claim to make.
This silencing of views around Israel is the new McCarthyism
Seriously... Pro-isreal a-ok! Pro- Palestine (read: NOT FUCKING HAMAS) strait to the asylum, wrap it up boys we got another antisemitic asshat! Exile them!
This does not bode well for my script to introduce Thelma and Louise into the Fast and Furious franchise. (They landed it with grappling hooks and shifting gears a lot)
I like to imagine they shifted the gears together, one hand on top of the other ❤️.
They were ~~room~~car mates
That’s what Vin Diesel said.
Edit: And I’ll tell you what I told him, “I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I will take no notes”
