Clean up antisemitism

Reminder, disliking Israel murdering all the Palestinians is not anti-semetic, that's propaganda working.

    And this is why the left has an antisemitism problem. It's forbidden to ever discuss the issue. I've seen people on the left say that Jews have been evil throughout history, I've seen leftists openly admit they want to kill all Jews. People post rationalizations for why all Jews are an acceptable target of harassment even if they've never set foot in Israel.

    But there's a blanket rationalization for why that kind of talk is completely fine because it's "criticizing Israel". That rationalization only works within your group. You've created a permission structure for antisemitism, and automatically block anyone who brings up the problem.

    These rationalizations and whitewashing only work within your group. Everyone else just sees some bullies harassing Jews at synagogues. You can see in the polling data that your movement is unpopular. You can't even consider there may be reasons why. You can't even discuss those reasons because your group forbids that kind of discussion. The first step is to admit there's a problem, but leftists are incapable of doing that.

    Is the netanyahu government committing genocide? Yes or lie.

    My opinion on this matter is generally banned from being discussed within leftist communities.

    You need to go outside of this little bubble to have discussions on that topic. If you're not afraid of ideas, of course.

    So "lie". Got it.

    You support genocide and are pretending that anyone who doesn't is antisemitic.

    It is no lie that leftist channels ban conversations on this subject.

    So now it's your turn, do you think Hamas committed genocidal acts on October 7? Yes or lie.
