Holy fucking shit, is this what non-israeli zionists are thinking? This interview is one of the more ghoulish I've read. Also, I can't believe how much contradictory shit this guy holds in his head at once! "We need to wipe out Hamas" he says, while at the same time believing that doing so is impossible. "If Israel is doing war crimes they should be prosecuted" he says, while also saying that Gaza deserves everything that is happening to it. "Writing a story about dead children means every comma is heavily scrutinized" he says (of the story he wrote about dead Ukrainian children), while his main point seems to be that Western media are running too many stories about dead (Palestinian) children. He seems to understand that most pro-Palestinian activists are acting against Israel, not against Jews, and yet, because he, as a Jew, feels strong ties to Israel, anti-Israel sentiment is warped in his mind into anti-Jew sentiment. Even though he seems to understand, rationally, that that's not really true, it feels true to him, so it somehow becomes true.

In a just world this guy would be thrown in a pit, or, at the very least, heavily re-educated. He sure as shit wouldn't be writing books and getting interviews with the paper of record. Sure, the interviewer pushed him and clearly it was an adversarial interview, but holy shit it shouldn't exist at all. This guy's brainworms don't need to be on display like this, they need to be eradicated.

The bad thing about this is that it defends the indefensible and seeks to protect some of the worst atrocities of our time from criticism. It also cheapens the concept of antisemitism by turning it into a meaningless partisan expletive, thereby foreclosing on oure ability to point out the actual antisemitism that still exists in western culture.

But the good thing is that it is laughably absurd. "If you get mad at me for murdering children when I am actually murdering children then you are a Nazi" is not a very convincing argument. It is deeply unserious, a joke. If this is the best they have, the zionist consent manufacturing machine is going to blow up once the tiniest crack appears in the shielding it is given by western media and political elites.

So to be clear, it's not blood libel to falsely claim that an ethnic minority beheaded 40 babies to justify a year of genocide against them, but it is blood libel to accurately report on children being killed?

Really working overtime to make any and all criticism of genocide "antisemitic." The only point of these absurd articles is to poison the well, so that when decent people openly resist war crimes, the empty-headed lib with a hand up their ass next to them will recite the antisemitism smear like a good puppet.

It's not libel if it's true, it's just blood.

Equating the genocidal actions of a state with all Jewish people is itself blood libel, change my mind

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 hours ago

Equating the genocidal actions of a state with all Jewish people is the highest form of antisemitism that exists currently, change my mind.

i will never stop talking about dead Palestinian children, sorry. shouldn't have killed them in the first place and you might have avoided this ~~bad press~~ 'blood libel'

Hasbara has entirely collapsed

No my guy, the zionist entity doing literal war crimes is pretty antisemitic, calling them out on such most certainly is not.

This is terminal lib brain. They do it with their candidates in elections too. "Well pointing out the bad things my guy is doing means their guy will win, and you don't want that so you have to pretend like my guy isn't doing bad things!" Making human lives a team sport will make that approach seem rational across all things.
