@shannonrwatts If the fundamental thesis of this tweet is an ask for nuance, I as a Jewish person would actually ask you to take a beat and try and find the nuance in what people are asking of you in this case
@shannonrwatts I believe the legitimate ciritique from Jewish people is that your rush to paint anti-zionism and fundamentally antisemitic has you flattening the realities of Jewish identity into constructs that are in themselves antisemitic. I urge you to engage with that in good faith.
Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.
Sorry but directing your energy towards Hasan Piker while America and Israel drag the world into hell is such outrageous behavior. We bombed a school and Israel is hunting Muslims in Lebanon.
“Anti-Israel rhetoric will be destroyed” is a death sentence for the Democratic Party.
the only difference bw you and the people being torn apart by the settler colonial death machine is sheer luck. there's nothing inherent to you that makes you more deserving of safety. it could just as easily have been you and that arbitrariness should haunt you, not comfort you.
@brianschatz Can you get some folks in your caucus on the horn to take the message wide because..... it's getting muffled with fascist collaborationism at the top I fear Brian!!
this epstein stuff… it just really breaks my heart to be reminded how the most powerful people do whatever they want to the most vulnerable and get away with it. idk, feels insane how little focus there seems to be on these victims
REPORTER: “A local school district here is alleging ICE agents detained a 5-year-old after preschool on Tuesday...Are you proud of how your administration is conducting this immigration crackdown..."
VP VANCE: “I actually saw this terrible story while I was coming to Minneapolis...I see this story and I am a father of a 5-year-old actually, 5-year-old little boy, I think to myself oh my God this is terrible how did we arrest a 5-year-old?"
“Well I do a little bit more follow-up research and what I find is that the five-year-old was not arrested —that his dad was an illegal alien, and then when they went to arrest his illegal alien father, the father ran.”
“So the story is that 'ICE detained a five-year-old.' Well, what are they supposed to do? Are they supposed to let a five year old child freeze to death?”
