It is illegitimate to caution us about Trump’s fascism here while unconditionally supporting Netanyahu’s in Palestine.

Nothing weirder than trying to sell people on soldiers finding love during their historic murder spree. This is called Pinkwashing, and queer people can see right through it.
Nothing sweeter than triggering Hamas supporters with photos of hot Israeli soldiers in love. Mazal tov Dennis and Shmuel!

My plea to all Americans:
—Learn the history of the Jewish people
—Reject the antisemitic double standard being applied to the plight of Jewish victims
—Understand that we defend Israel’s existence as we fear a world where the place of refuge for Jewish people no longer exists

The hardest part to witness is how many people are capable of refusing to bear witness.
Two strikingly similar calls to action. Two pre-determined deaths facilitated by government silence and neglect. It’s important to name these intersections. The end of an epidemic, the end to genocide, the end to needless death depends on it.

You completely disregard the entire population of Jewish people co-leading the Free Palestine movement alongside Palestinians. It is - dare I say it- quite antisemitic to be so reductive about anti-Zionists.
For every single progressive cause I’ve ever worked on, Jews have been there helping lead the fight. Women’s rights. Housing rights. Black Lives Matter. Trans rights.
And I always kind of just took that presence for granted - never really thought about. I think a lot of us did.…

The Middle East is not a "tough neighborhood" you absolute racist. And America only needs Israel in order to exact the racist, violent agenda that this sentiment stems from.
Israel is a bright spot in a tough neighborhood. It has never that Israel needs America. It has always been that America needs Israel.

It’s actually pretty simple when you don’t tacitly discount Palestinians’ right to life and liberty.
my view on the Israel-Palestine conflict is that it’s been going on for more than a century & there are shades of gray on both sides. It’s is not a simple story of good vs evil. This may sound obvious but acknowledging complexity too often gets you tarred as a heinous person.
