@JessicaBanayan @jacobkornbluh are you confusing the signers of this letter addressing Islamophobia with some other group of people?

[Cobble Hillbilly Elegy @realbenlowe]

@JessicaBanayan @jacobkornbluh Show me where in this letter they do that.

[Cobble Hillbilly Elegy @realbenlowe]

@ABC7NY who?

[Cobble Hillbilly Elegy @realbenlowe]

@FJnyc @jacobkornbluh Islamophobia is very real and very harmful. Do you deny that?

[Cobble Hillbilly Elegy @realbenlowe]

@JessicaBanayan @jacobkornbluh You’re spouting exactly the sort of Islamophobia that requires the formation of this group in the first place.

@GenZ_Moderate @MeyerLabin Please name a successful movement that addressed all injustice everywhere at the same time.

Change occurs by applying sustained pressure to individual problems.

@CarolineShaff @roun_sa_ville @davidmweissman nah discourse-policing is.

[Cobble Hillbilly Elegy @realbenlowe]

@MassEffectFanU3 @davidmweissman yes hence “comrade,” someone joined indefinitely in a collective struggle and not a separate entity with momentarily aligned objectives

[Cobble Hillbilly Elegy @realbenlowe]

@WillOremus nah they just know that “something oughta be done!” is probably enough to reach the end of the news cycle.

@ImpunityCity @StreetsblogNYC @NYCMayor @MTA @NYGovCuomo @FTA_DOT those are certainly words

@MaraWein @michaelcmaronna @YoniMichanie Evangelical Christians are the largest group of Zionists in the world (of any faith), and they support Israel because they believe it will accelerate the End Times, when most Jews will burn in Hell.

@m4ccabbl …. except that BDS “focus[es] our boycotts on a small number of companies and products for maximum impact. We focus on companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where we think we can have an impact.”

Which specific Chinese companies are you boycotting?

[Cobble Hillbilly Elegy @realbenlowe]

@m4ccabbl scroll up even further

[Cobble Hillbilly Elegy @realbenlowe]

@m4ccabbl You said unevenly applying standards would be anti-Semitic. I laid out a universal standard and asked you to which other areas it should be applied.

Are there other illegally occupied territories Ben & Jerry’s operates in? Or is this the only one, and thus an even application?

[Cobble Hillbilly Elegy @realbenlowe]

@m4ccabbl That is how I interpreted this.

[Cobble Hillbilly Elegy @realbenlowe]

@m4ccabbl not any longer!
