In the minds of antizionists, his "crime" was that he was born a Jew in Israel and has produced cultural work in Hebrew
He also called for Hamas to release the hostages, which is unforgivable in their eyes
There is no amount of "disavowing" or "criticizing" that will placate this hate movement
Simply put: they don't care that he's turned his back on Israel or hates Netanyahu or thinks sanctions are justified
To them, he's just another Zionist Jew
The fact that he didn't realize this was coming points to his shortsightedness
@SabbySabs2@miserablelib Absolute brainrot and moral depravity to call 10/7 sexual violence a lie- both initially, and moreso today after being proven by comprehensive investigation.
@RaniaKhalek The Holocaust killed 70% of Europe's Jews, who were innocent of any crime or aggression.
Israel's war killed 3% of Gazans, whose leadership attacked Israel and committed unspeakable atrocities
The truth is that opposing antizionism is a progressive value. Anyone committed to equal dignity and the rights of minorities ought to recognize that an obsessive system of hostile accusation—embedded in major institutions such as academia, mainstream media, and the UN—against a single country violates basic moral principles. Israelis have been fighting for their lives for over 75 years in the face of continual, ongoing genocidal violence. When one couples this with the overwhelming hatred that saturates global culture, it’s clear that Israelis are in fact an oppressed group. The question is not whether Israel is an ideal left-wing state, but recognizing that Israel is an oppressed state on the world-stage.
@PETER1087390@sarithaforny Most of them have violent priors, like the attacker Sunday night did. Protecting public safety comes before vague rights like the right to sleep or loiter in public while matching the profile of a maniac
@RabbiMivasair Arabs have been killing Jews there for centuries. Israel defended against 5 invading Arab armies in 1948, conquering and keeping land in the process. Instead of ending aggression and comprising for peace, Arabs chose terrorism.
@muhammadshehad2 Israel is the Jewish homeland and no Palestinian sovereignty existed there in history. None of it was stolen, it was purchased and conquered in wars started by Palestinians. Instead of compromising for peace, Palestinians chose terrorism.
