both Bernie Sanders and AOCIA have said the attack in Boulder was “anti-Semitic”. The attack was explicitly targeted at pro-Israeli Zionists, literally at a Zionist political rally, and the person who did it said he was specifically targeting Zionists. Random Jews were not targeted and attacked. He did not go to some random Synagogue and attack Jews. He did not just find random Jews on the street to attack. It was specifically targeted at a Zionist pro-Israeli fascist group.
The exact same thing happened with the Israeli embassy Christian Zionist who was eliminated. AOCIA and Bernie Sanders lied and did the conflation there too even though he wasn’t even Jewish, and even if he had been, HE WAS NOT TARGETED FOR THAT.
Conflating Israel with all Jews and lying that Zionists who are targeted are not being targeted for their fanatical devotion to the genocidal Israeli death-cult and its mass burning alive, beheading,removed and murder of Palestinian babies, children, girls, boys, women and men, intentionally launders genocidal Zionist propaganda.
So it is not at all surprising that both Sanders and AOCIA who have done this from the beginning of the genocide are still doing it now:
never forget that AOCIA viciously smeared anti-genocide protesters in New York, saying “anti-Semitism has no place in our city”, and voted for the IHRA equating criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism. She helped normalize the fascist Zionist censorship industrial complex that is now kidnapping people off the street
in 2023, right as the genocide was reaching its most murderous levels, Bernie Sanders voted for a Senate Resolution condemning anti-genocide student protesters and organizations as “antisemitic, repugnant, and morally contemptible”. He is directly responsible for the deportations
Zionism is not identical to being Jewish. That is the propaganda lie that is constantly spread to cast every act of opposition to Zionists and the genocidal death-cult as being inherently anti-Semitic, and Bernie Sanders and AOCIA have been key figures in laundering that lie
they keep doing this over and over again. Synagogues that are holding fundraisers for the genocidal Israeliremoved-army that is right now at this moment burning babies alive and starving them are protested, often by anti-Zionist Jews, and it’s written as “OMG ANTISEMITIC ATTACK!!!”
it’s a very simple truism intentionally obscured by propagandist liars like Bernie Sanders and AOCIA: Zionists are targeted not based on their identity, but specifically and explicitly based on their genocidal ideology. John Mearsheimer destroyed this lie:
I understood what you meant, for what it’s worth.
It’s like White people and racism/colonization. If a decolonial struggle is going on and you’re White but don’t want to get caught up on the wrong side of it, probably best to start speaking up loudly about colonization and doing something. It’s not the responsibility of the ones in decolonial struggle to figure out your individual, personal views when you’re just standing around colonizers.
You expressed my thoughts far better than I did. Some libs have this reflexive need to moderate the debate by pointing towards the ‘hypocrisy’ of those supporting Palestine when there’s a fucking genocide going on. They get lost in the muck of debate when people are dying. Why not be on the safe side and vehemently fucking oppose mass starvation, state led terror, and absolute death?
Nah, you expressed yourself perfectly well. I didn’t think it was antisemitic at all.
But I totally agree. We all fall for it from time to time but there’s no need to debate with those whom John Brown would’ve shot. Debate perversion at this point is just genocide apologia.
Not going to lie, I’m kind of upset that I’m being called out for anti-semitism. Of course, I really regret if I offended anyone, my wording must have been really bad, but it’s been more than once I’ve been checked for an extremely low bar of anti-semitism on here.
