@LizaLaZiza1@SageFrancis oh, I wasn't trying to say "it's not because its just not" or anything like that. Was just saying that yes I am one of those people, and happy to explain more and help understand (my view), though maybe not over a public twitter thread which usually does lead to vitriol...
@SageFrancis I'm really not sure twitter is a place to be nuanced about this, because it will immediately turn into one of those vitriolic internet things, and that's the last thing I want, reality is too heartbreaking already. but happy to dm or something if that helps
@SageFrancis Hey, a pretty huge Israeli fan of yours here.
I should say my views would be considered very left wing here, and have been protesting our extremist awful current government's policies and Netanyahu for a long time now. What is happening is a fucking tragedy but not a genocide.
@KBSquared4 @jodyrosen I guess at this point we're getting into a shitty vitriolic twitter thing, which I didn't intend, and its the middle of the night here, so maybe that's enough. I truly love your writing Jody, all the best.
@KBSquared4 @jodyrosen Good tip. Think we'll try that big building with the Hamas logo on top. I'll ask only for the specific 2000+ perpetrators though. And then, obviously, jail our prime minister for passing funds to the elected government in Gaza. I'll pass it on.
@jodyrosen I guess my point was that the horrors of this week were not about a response to the injustice of Israeli occupation, but a much more primal hatred of our people. And there's no reason to dunk on anyone who'd like to call it out publicly. its not a distraction, its the point.
@jodyrosen I don't know why I'm going on like this, it’s just really painful for me to see that the take away from this week, just this week, for ANY jew around the world could be ‘look how cringey and over dramatic Amy Schumer is being about all this’.
@jodyrosen I didn’t really fully believe it, you know, that even Hamas (or any human) is capable of what happened here. But it all happened and that SHOULD scare every jew around the globe, it SHOULD completely rattle all of us.
