    They’ve been doing this my whole life & it is very effective. With all that Holocaust education growing up & then to claim someone hates Jews for criticizing Israel, many people are too naive to understand manipulation tactics.

    The current government of Israel does the most harm to Jews. They frequently talk and act like they own all the politicians. They claim if you speak out you’ll never get a job again. The mainstream media also demonstrates an obvious bias & perpetuates their propaganda.

    For those of you in the US:

    Unless you are in a position of extreme privilege, it’s important to voice your anti-zionist (or any anti US-Administration opinion) in an anonymous way.

    It probably goes without saying… With each passing day, our administration is getting more and more aggressive with their fascist ideology. Watch yourselves.

    Wow, this is such typical NYT bullshit. Its not a fucking right-wing plan, its the fucking everyone plan with the democrats as its main supporter. They started it long before Trump and it has been active for decades. Dont let the dems play the good guys here. The UC campus stuff happened during Bidens term.

      Supporting the genocidal state of israel is right-wing. When Biden or the democrats are supporting israel and demonizing pro-palestinian voices they are taking a far-right position.

      That overly simplistic view of things is a great way to be totally ineffective, if not countereffective, at keeping Palestinian kids alive.

      You have one party that’s a mix of pro Israel and people who question Israel. You have another party that’s basically anti Arab Nazis who are totally supportive of murdering civilians. If your primary target is the people who debate supporting Israel as opposed to the people who have an actual plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza and replace it with fancy hotels and condos (while deporting anyone they can who disagrees), you’re actually harming Palestinian life expectancy.

      Right now I don’t think there will be a Palestinian people in 50 years because pretty much everyone who claims to stand up for them, from Hamas to US based protesters, seems to be glad to harm them in pursuit of vice signalling.

    I’m not tired, boss. I’m filled with a rage that can only be quenched by the blood of oppressors. Their grip on the globe is as tight as a noose.

    What about atheists that dislike both sides because they’re obviously carrying out a thousand-year religious grudge fight over fictional people? I sure as fuck don’t support hamas. I sure don’t support israel, either.

    Stop giving them weapons, it’s empowering genocidal theocracies fighting off genocidal theocracies. Just back away slowly.

    For that, I’m sure I’ll be called a islamophobe, by the palestinians, and an antisemite, by israel. I don’t think those terms are anything but stealth blasphemy laws that religions want to impose on non-believers. Fuck religions and those that support them. That’s the only way possible towards middle-east peace. As long as there are religions, that’s going to be a religious terrorism hotspot, like it has been for thousands of years.

      This isn’t a religious question so your religious stance is irrelevant. You don’t need to both sides genocide.

    Tell us you don’t actually like the 1st Amendment, but in the most asshole way possible.
