American. Jew. Born in the 70’s. Against authoritarian creep, against war crimes done in my name.

That’s a third, fourth and fifth insult and another irrelevancy about my family. Don’t worry, I hear your real argument: “just let us finish the war crimes! hush up about the war crimes! real Jews don’t care about the war crimes!”

Two insults, an appeal to my family (?!), and some emojis. Yes Alan, some people I love are as hot-headed as you seem, & I want to keep loving them & oppose war crimes. I hear you crying “just let us finish the war crimes! hush up about the war crimes! real Jews don’t care about the war crimes!”

Another example of this miserable argument. “You’re not allowed to object to war crimes; that just makes the bad guys happy. Just let us finish the war crimes! That will make the bad guys sad.”

why is this video cut so that while ziada talks about the muslim b’hood’s political manipulation, an image of rep. rashida tlaib appears (:42 mark)? to deny legitimacy to tlaib and anyone else speaking out for palestinians and against israeli war crimes. ziada may have important things to say...

defining/counting jews & zionists is fraught, but w around 16 million jews worldwide, you can’t know the % of “zionists” by “getting out more.” i agree w much of the post below - but antisemitism is a real and giant problem too.

Visual evidence upends Israel’s official story for deadly attack on Gaza hospital
Israeli troops say they targeted a Hamas camera in an August strike, but a Reuters investigation found the device belonged to one of the news agency’s journalists. An Israeli official now says troops fired without required approval. The five journalists who died in the strike are among 200 killed by Israel that it has yet to fully explain.

This Jew (formerly of New York) agrees with Mamdani: Greenblatt and his ADL do not speak for me. Antisemitism is a real problem. It should not be made a pretext for fascism and war crimes.

It's so funny that Mamdani is supported by *exponentially* more Jews in NYC than is this genocidal, Nazi-defending piece of shit:

I agree with your general point - this is a wildly false and antisemitic invoking of “blood libel” by Vance. But I respectfully disagree with the “definitionally” part. Some antisemites are right now engaging in blood libel against Jews, whose leaders really are doing war crimes in Gaza.
