in 3 years we went from "do you condemn hamas" to "do you condemn hasan" and israel is still a belligerent entity that is causing destruction, goading trump into war with iran & prominent dems are focusing on a critic of trump and israel instead of trump and israel itself. fools
Hi, I’m Madeline -
I’m a Jew.
I was literally in the studio with @hasanthehun the same day he made the comments everyone is upset about.
Let me be very clear: Hasan got clipped out of context.
These people are full of sh*t.
Hasan was literally advocating for the OPPOSITE of violence against us, as he always has.
He said the exact same thing about how the conflation of anti-Zionism with anti-semitism causes Jewish people - like myself - to become targets. Ezra Klein said the exact same thing previously, and nobody batted an eye.
I spent a full hour with him that same day. Anybody wanna check how his behavior was with me? A whole Jewish lady? I’m sitting right there next to him. Care to see what we talked about and how we talked about it?
I’ll give you a hint: non-violence, deradicalizing people, advocating for the humanity in every single person - Jewish and Palestinian alike.
Please, my Jewish brothers and sisters - moms and dads and bubbies and zaydes - please hear me:
They’re trying to trick us. They’re playing with our emotions and steering us away from the truth so we will abandon our principles and join the other side.
I’m begging you - don’t let them make you abandon what you believe in.
And don’t take my word for it — Please — look for yourself to see who is actually on our side and wants to protect us. Look and you’ll see who is actually speaking the truth.
Chesed v emet - kindness and truth. Please don’t abandon the values our people have carried because you’ve been convinced of something that isn’t even true.
Please.
I don’t usually get involved in political stuff, but some things need to be said.
Spider-Man and Stan Lee would never support ICE.
Not now. Not ever.
Fuck ICE. 🖕
First time at SDCC? 10th time?! Regardless, every year @SD_Comic_Con puts in hundreds of hours of work to help you navigate every aspect of the event. Here’s a complete guide. But also there’s a new update to this guide which is “GO TO MY BOOTH 5502 FIRST BEFORE ALL OF THIS OK!?”
This takes courage…
The Strokes closed their Coachella set flashing images of the governments the CIA has overthrown, the leaders the US has assassinated including MLK 👀, the war crimes the US is committing in Iran, and the genocide Israel is committing in occupied Palestine.
