funny liberal jews brought a lot of this on themselves because they encouraged the wokeness as to continue the please like me syndrome. And when this happened no one they stood up for the blacks or the alphabet mafia ( including the whole sex destroying advocates) stood up for them. Rude awakening don't you think. Only evangelical christians have- a group east and west coast jews make fun off.

As a jew i have no sympathy for that group. I have been a conservative jew my whole life and think liberalism and wokeness are mental illnesses.

Last point-i live in Atlanta the home of the largest per capita home of wealthy blacks. For all the talk about dont be white i.e. work hard, get a dog, live in a nice place, shop in Neiman Marcus... they sure want to be white.

Slight problem no “Serious Actual Leftists” can make their voices heard nor can they direct the narrative currently.

the people in israel who are performing an optional, unnecessary and illegal genocide against the native people of palestinian are white people from US and europe = white colonizers. im a white male myself , and am not a self hating white. but facts are facts. the last time jewish people had any significant population in palestine was 5th centrury. that is, until Harry Truman let a few religous nuts pitch a tent there. we now know that creating the modern state of israel in palestine is one of the biggest mistakes the US ever made. the reason = israel refuses to accept responsibility for millions of native people they occupy.

another way zionists are like typical whites is the decades long PR and propaganda campaign they have engaged in. im fairly certain LOTT and Ms. Buttons are being paid to rubber stamp meaningless zionist talking points. slogans she prints are typical zionist talking points - taken straight from the page. meanwhile its US taxpayers who are paying for the illegal genocide committed by isreal.

This is a complete oversimplification and caricature of the Left wing critique of political Zionism, the idea of a Jewish state in a place that was not empty but where other people, the large majorty not Jewish, lived. There has always been a Jewish critique of this form of Zionism, from Jewish theologians like Martin Buber to the Jewish radicals in the Bund in Russia and Poland in the 19th and 20th centuries. To dismiss this as “woke” and to conflate anti Zionism with anti semitism not only dishonors Jewish history but is dangerous to Jews, akin to crying wolf.

In addition, though Jews are not priveleged for being Jewish in this country (they are in Israel since they rule over Palestinuan territories and Palestinian citizens of Israel face discrimination) , in the context of the United States after WWII, a lot of barriers fell for us as Jews, and yes, we have had more opportunity and have been subjected to far less bigotry in our day to day lives, as compared say to African-Americans . That doesn’t we are “white”, or are not still at risk.

To recognize that some groups have power over others in how our society is structured doesn’t mean that the oppressed or subordinated group are all saints and can do no wrong or have no agency, or that the members of the oppresser or priveleged should beat theur breasts in guilt and are evil incarnate. No serious actual Leftist would say these things. You are confusing corporate DEI with actual Left wing thinking.

The stupidest voting cohort in American history approves of Racism and Race Grifters as it proves to be the corrosive enemy of everything fair and good. WW III is occurring right now. Appeasement is suicidal.

I’d actually mildly impressed that the woke have managed to stiff arm Official Reality and the media plus all the most powerful people in politics. They’re insisting on a consistent application of the messed up values they’ve been taught. That shows there is some humanity left in them.

Most of the hand-wringing about antisemitism is a cover story for why the world is protesting Israel. They understand the bandwagon effect and the power of the media coming out of Gaza and West Bank, so they’re gatekeeping truth by associating the truth-tellers with icky antisemitism. It’s a standard technique of killers with power.

You can tell by Israel’s pathetic showing at the ICJ (uh….uh…pamphlets? uhhhh…October 7th? errrrhm…humanitarian ethnic cleansing?) that there’s no defense and all they have left is pointing fingers, exercising power & spending money to suppress, and yelling “blood libel.”

It’s over. The world can see the truth. The South Africa-style boycotts are coming.

Palestinians in Gaza, even before this murderous war, had no control of their borders and no way of freely entering or leaving their territory . They were also under seige. Basically Gaza is a very large ghetto or open air prison with terrible living conditions even before this war. The second class citizenship of Palestinian Israelis is well documented within Israel itself. Yes, they can vote and serve in the Knesset but they are discriminated against in housing and employment and by many Israeli laws. Home demolitions occur regularly because Palestinians of Israel are often arbitrarily denied permits while Jewish citizens are not. Picture the West Bank as Jim Crow in the south before the 1960’s Civil Rights movement and Israel behind the Green line as the US north where there was still plenty of discrimination against Black people and little legal redress.

Whilst academics postulate to very little useful end, innocent Palestinians are being killed and maimed by a vicious cruel right wing government. Retribution for 7th October has passed. The sheer numbers are outageous. The inability to see that himiliating Palestinians is hateful and unjustified is of huge concern. And the Israeli press is being censored so the Israeli people do not know the genocide being carried out in their name.

People care about Israel as it is an English speaking western style democracy. Andmost decent people care about the Holocaust.
