Earlier today, I watched a livestream debate regarding the controversy that this Zionist vegan dude got for making this post. In this debate, he was having a discussion with an anti-Zionist vegan that he invited on, Catherine Klein.
His arguments were beyond abysmal, and among them was this "Palestinians are homophobic and misogynistic, so that justifies the wrath that Israel is bringing upon them!" pinkwashing type of shit. In addition, he also veganwashed by bringing up the fact that Isn'trael has a relatively high vegan population as a contrast to the fact that Palestinian Arabs are mostly Muslims and Muslims celebrate Eid Al-Adha. I shit you not.
I didn't agree with Catherine on everything she said obviously, but I talked to her personally both before and after she had this debate, and I was even able to correct the nature of some of the things she said in a way that she could digest it, like the fact that she ConDEMnEd hamaS.
Ultimately, she and I obviously agree that this guy's reactionary bullshit that he tries to spill into the vegan movement is massive amounts of insufferable cringe.
Israel is the fourth largest consumer of beef in the world per capita, trailing just behind Argentina, Brazil, and the United States. The average Israeli consumes over 19 kilograms of meat every single year.
