@CamTXz I ordered something from a shop in Ft. Myers, FL (Iโm in Miami 2.5 hour drive between the two cities) and i watched it take two days to get from ft. Myers to miami, only to be sent to Hawaii before finally coming back to Miami and delivered. Should have just driven to get it lol
Just to review today:
The Dept of Ed made a post saying they were just like Hitler.
Ted Cruz had a retweet of an account named โTed Cruzโs Tiny Penisโ
The WH posted a screen shot of an eagle on top of a Canadian goose but in the video the goose wins.
Trump made a โMission Accomplishedโ post on Iran that included George W. Bush & Iraq.
A GOP Rep. banned Jelly Roll from his district because he made a fat joke about Trump.
And the sealant on the Reflecting Pool is peeling again.
Starting to lose it over this.
No reasonable person, including @hasanthehun, is saying that American Jews deserve violence or bear responsibility for it being committed against them. This has been repeated again, and again, and again.
The problem here is that 1) Israel does not represent all Jews, as this community openly says repeatedly, 2) Claiming that it does when Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip DOES give bad actors a narrative to radicalize in ways that ultimately facilitate harm to Jews, and 3) Restricting any real conversation about this only makes the problem so much worse.
No one wants violence on American Jews or any other community. Violence is wrong. We debate with words and ideas, not weapons and hate.
It's also patently correct that support for genocide will foster strong reactions that can and should be condemned when they violently target Jews for being Jewish. These are not mutually exclusive concepts.
That's what Hasan is saying, and he's not wrong for saying it.
Supporting genocide is bad, actually. That doesn't mean people (including and especially historically persecuted groups like Jews and Muslims alike) should be targeted for it. Hasan in no way is saying otherwise. He's merely outlining a very painful reality of human existence: That violence begets more violence and, particularly, that identity-based violence fosters more identity-based violence.
This is why we must end support for Israel's genocide in the Strip. It's why we must facilitate and recognize Palestinian self-determination. It's why we must end this god forsaken nightmare that has done nothing but harm to Israeli Jews and Palestinians alike for generations.
Full-stop. End rant. Yell at a wall.
