Reading your writing makes me feel so much better. I’m so sick of the gaslighting, I lived through enough as a survivor of DV and it feels like I’m in an abusive relationship with the world now.
All the “leftists” (a majority of them just rank and file white Americans) that spent the last year and a half rhetorically attacking the fundamental existence of Israeli statehood, in extremely antisemitic language, and then last week reacted to the Lischinsky/Milgrim murders like “oh that’s terrible, we don’t condone that”…. I call bullshit.
Moreover, many of them don’t even pretend to be for a two-state solution or to condemn the murders or the events of 10/7, like you said they actively cheer it on. And again, they’re not even Palestinian or Muslim or Arab. Just white Zoomers who have soaked up Soviet propaganda on Tiktok from before their parents were born.
Or the fact that there are so many inconsistencies within the pro Israel movement for example that Jews are strong and resilient and Israel is safe but then pro Israel folk like you shriek whenever someone speaks Arabic or has a keffiyeh or post "Israel is under attack" which undermines that Jews are safe in Israel and are brave by your logic. Or the fact that in pro Israel spaces LGBT is tolerated despite that there are strong religious elements in Israel and in the pro Israel movement that constantly mock LGBT and align with right wingers in America who are transphobic. It seems that much like pro Hamas people I call out as well, that for pro Israel folk, minority rights are transactional depending on who you all choose to align with (Hagee, CUFI, Mike Huckabee) so just make it make sense
Why don't you actually engage with non Zionist Jews like myself, you have so much confidence based on some social media videos about what I stand for but you won't actually steelman my arguments. Also if Jews you disagree with were hate crimed would you stand up for them or nah, it only counts for those who are pro Israel? I am a progressive socialist Bernie supporter and a proud patriot and I care about anti-semitism too, are you suggesting there is something wrong with me?

Ugh.
It’s not wrong, it’s “counterproductive”. I got that line when I was being terrorized and beaten up by “antiwar” thugs.
Thank you so much for this post. I have a feeling I'll be sharing it many times!!
Thank you so much!
Amazing as always!
