@mehdirhasan One day, a people facing actual genocide may cry out for help, and the word will have lost its power because it’s been wantonly misused against Israel for defending itself from an enemy that openly seeks its destruction, however incapable it may be of achieving it.
@moizali Imagine the following hypothetical scenario: I was minding my own business walking down the street and a Black guy began acting all aggressive towards, so I called him the N word….
How would that play out?
@Wisselboy@James_J_Marlow These Jewish travelers aren’t westerners, they are from Israel, and by the looks of it, they are mostly Mizrachi (from Arab countries) Jews. They know very well what “free Palestine” actually means (as does everyone else in the region). So yes, it is an attack on Jews.
@mehdirhasan Perhaps the promoters feel that too many ticket purchasers would be turned off by his Free Palestine protest, making it a business decision?
Isn’t that what the pro Palestine movement has been doing for years with BDS?
@NYCMayor Don’t they already pay their fair share via property taxes? And really it’s more than their “fair share” as they aren’t living in the city and utilizing the cities resources.
