@hasanthehun How is this any different from the constant scandals leftists lobbed at Kamala? If this is the reason for Platner's loss, clearly that is the reason for her loss.

@SendDopaminePls @jamiecam43 @GnDsville All non-convert Jews are indigenous to Historical Judea. And no, aggressively recruited is atrocity denial, my grandparents were straight up purged from Yemen post-WWII. There's a whole memorial for this, even if it was brought on by the Nakba.

[Robert Holbert @cakeboss26]

@SendDopaminePls @jamiecam43 @GnDsville It's not "bringing in", it's ones that were kicked out of other places and returned to the place they have a historical connection to, which again there is more of than the Ashkenazi. Also, those same historically connected to Israel Mizrahi are Bibi's biggest coalition.

[Robert Holbert @cakeboss26]

@SendDopaminePls @jamiecam43 @GnDsville Except more than 50% of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi and not Ashkenazi, many of which were removed (some by choice, some not) from historic Palestine.

[Robert Holbert @cakeboss26]

@SendDopaminePls @jamiecam43 @GnDsville It's not an inversion, it's literally people that were historically there now there again after being purged or joining the diaspora. The difference between Israel and America is the modern day inhabitants were not responsible for that purge.

[Robert Holbert @cakeboss26]

@SendDopaminePls @jamiecam43 @GnDsville Okay, let me rephrase. First nations people are not asking for displacement of the people who are currently there. Because ironically if that is the aim, Israel is the most successful decolonization project of all time.

[Robert Holbert @cakeboss26]

@SendDopaminePls @jamiecam43 @GnDsville It was popularized by Kahane.

@jamiecam43 @SendDopaminePls @GnDsville I'm not the one that co-opted the term "never again" when its origin is from a right-wing lunatic. People should criticize things on merit, not historical inaccuracies.

[Robert Holbert @cakeboss26]

@migueldelopera @jamiecam43 @SendDopaminePls @GnDsville None of what you said is in contention with what I wrote.

[Robert Holbert @cakeboss26]

@SendDopaminePls @jamiecam43 @GnDsville And First Nations people aren't asking for their countries back because multiple generations have passed since then. Israel's colonialism is newer, but it's not any different with 4-5 generations of Jews growing up there. There's no realistic endgame for what you're asking for.

[Robert Holbert @cakeboss26]

@SendDopaminePls @jamiecam43 @GnDsville You're right, which is why most American Jews support a 2 state solution with some degree of right of return. But that's still supporting Israel's right to exist.

[Robert Holbert @cakeboss26]

@SendDopaminePls @jamiecam43 @GnDsville I'm talking about the wider Jewish community, not me. I can't say what I think about Israel to my family without getting banned from Passover.

[Robert Holbert @cakeboss26]

@SendDopaminePls @jamiecam43 @GnDsville It's saying they support the existence of a Jewish state in a world that's been trying to exterminate them for over 5000 years. Some won't care how that state has to be upheld while others will.

[Robert Holbert @cakeboss26]

@jamiecam43 @SendDopaminePls @GnDsville You can hate who you want, but you're no closer to Palestinian liberation by grouping in Kahanists with people that want a 2 state solution. If anything, it's counterproductive.
Also, "never again" was coined specifically for Jews and not any other group.

@migueldelopera @jamiecam43 @SendDopaminePls @GnDsville You are never going to get this from American Jews beyond a fringe 10-15%. Poll after poll shows us Israel is still important to them even if they disagree with the Likud government and support a 2-state solution. Just saying "I hate only 85% of Jews" is antisemitic.

[Robert Holbert @cakeboss26]

@jamiecam43 @SendDopaminePls @GnDsville 85% of American Jews support Israel's existence. If that's your line, might as well just say you hate Jews because the ones that agree with you are explicitly a fringe.

[Robert Holbert @cakeboss26]

@old_dwayne @fawfulfan There's an entire sketch about it that gets referenced everywhere.

[Robert Holbert @cakeboss26]

@old_dwayne @fawfulfan Yeah, the word is obscure. The symbol isn't.

[Robert Holbert @cakeboss26]

@cleancoalie @fawfulfan The Sonnenrand is obscure. The totenkopf is probably the 3rd most recognizable nazi symbol even if people don't know the name. There is zero chance a millenial redditor like Platner never saw the "Are we the baddies" sketch which is all about the totenkopf.

@milfdefender68 @NickyFrank30 Tara Reade is literally backing up Fifield.
