Every week you lot come up with some new “hot take” why Veganism is racist and colonialism. And every week BIPOC vegans say “hey can you not erase us and use us for clout on twitter”. And you say no.
If your response to the mass killing of Palestinians by members of the jewish community is broadly to keep amplifying jewish opinions rather than Palestinian, Muslim or Arab ones then i hate to say it but you might be part of the problem.
Islamaphobia is not merely a harmful or prejudicial sentiment; it is an arm of the military-industrial complex that has an ever-expanding capacity for death. The issue isn’t that people think Muslims are scary but that there are entire institutions dedicated to killing us.
sick & fucking tired of people likening antisemitism to islamophobia. they just aren’t fucking comparable. islamophobia is state-sanctioned. “muslim” is a racialized identity. there are entire institutions in this country dedicated to making sure anti-muslim violence exists.
The jewish colony in Palestine is connected by an umbilical cord to the jewish communities of Europe & North America, if those communities feel these atrocities can all take place without so much as being named then obviously this is a green light for the atrocities to continue.
The one thing that stops zionist advance on the ground is armed resistance while the thing that drives it within Empire is lobbying done through jewish identity politics.
So-called leftists condemn the former and refuse even to mention the latter. They are liberals.
@_ericblanc Zionism must be cut out of the Left like a cancer. Stop clutching pearls while starving orphans are burned to death in tents. I am so serious, stop. Antisemitism is not a material oppression.
People who made careers on Critical Race Theory and anti-racism have been conspicuously silent on anti-imperialism and Islamophobia. Almost as though the investment was always in the structure of US empire and getting a seat at its warmongering table.
The Gulf Arab regimes did not move an inch when the Palestinians were being exterminated and starved to death.
But as soon as their oil wealth is under threat, they are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, ready to move heaven and earth to preserve it.
Hello, I am an anti-zionist jew. No I have not done anything over the last 2.5 years to counter zionism at my own synagogue, Temple Tel Aviv Israel, and yes, I will be chastising you for using the word goyim
If you weren’t with the Resistance on October 7th you might eventually realize you were wrong, but on some deeper level you’ll never fully recover from your terrible lapse in judgment. You’ll probably be a half-assed both-sides liberal asshole for the rest of your life.
