Best highlights:

Well since marx and his antisemtic works to stalinist antisemitism to the current rush of commies who are all antisemitic cause they follow marx and stalin.

Leftist organizing is filled with antisemitism. Why won’t condemn china russia or sri lanka for their genocides while only condemning israel. See this is why lot of jewish folk are feeling this anti zionism is antisemitic.

Find nuance within zionism rather than just being anti zionist as all those rabid college protestors

Banning israeli who served in the idf once is not a good look and obviously anti semitic.

Neil druckman is being unfairly maligned.

A lot of leftists praise hamas and that’s as bad as idf. Y’all blindly supoort them just cause they are fighting israel. Meanwhile you all ignore sri lanka doing tamil genocide and the ccp doing uyghur genocide. But you all cheer on jewish civilians killed on oct 7.

Equating zionist to white supremacy or white people is very antisemitic. You leftists don’t condemn sri lanka or china cause they are not white. This is a common stalinist tradition.

Also hamas is just has their own interests and don’t care about jeopardizing palestine’s future.

Zionism was not the product of its leaders. Implying they pushed it or they were powerful is antisemitic. It actually formed cause jewish folk escaped persecution and came here. It was a movement cause it has emotional appeal. Zionism is an emotion. Holocaust was the reason for all the jewish folk to form a jewish state.

Do you condemn hamas? Hamas attacks on civillians parallels nazi attacks for the average gentile. Hamas is a fundamentalist antisemitic group.

Horsehoe theory???//

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    Every time I try to seriously engage with the topic of antisemitism on the left - since, you know, antisemitism is bad and I don’t want to be doing antisemitism - whatever podcast or article or whatever the fuck I read fails at nearly the first hurdle and it basically just turns out to be zionist entryism. Does anybody have not-bullshit recommendations here?

    Also I fucking love arguments like:

    Meanwhile you all ignore sri lanka doing tamil genocide and the ccp doing uyghur genocide

    I could send out an email to the entire company I work at condemning these things and nothing would come of it. If I even hint that I don’t love israel to the bottom of my soul in a company meeting I would be fired so fast my head would spin. Wow, which issue am I going to be engaging with more I wonder?

        And you can literally fly to the site of the supposed “genocide” and see the region for yourself. Wait, all these Uyghur people are just hanging out and living normal lives? Huh 🤔

        Try doing that in Gaza!

      Not to mention the stark difference in evidence in regards to China’s supposed genocide

      We are getting live footage of atrocities from a people who have been cut off from nearly every form of communication, because it’s actually really hard to hide mass murder

      And the evidence for China trying to kill off the Uighurs is what? A couple of satellite photos of a roof and some easily debunked pictures that were “smuggled” out of the camps

      Wrinkly gibberish, pure vibes

        Didn’t you see the picture taken from inside a drainage ditch, with the gray filter applied, of a single guard outside a regular administrative building in the middle of a city? If that’s not proof of genocide I don’t know what is!

      Every aspect of anti-capitalist/imperialist thought steers you away from anti-Semitism. You would be hard pressed to find anti-Jewish sentiment in any active leftist space. That’s of course not to say it doesn’t/can’t happen. But any materialist thought completely precludes the whole Jewish New World Order / banker elite conspiracy theories of the right, and we of course don’t fall for the anti-Semitic trope of a collective Jewish hivemind with genocidal desires like liberals do.

      My first thought would be to point you towards moments in history of sociopolitical trife / mass violence, but my first thought would be of the Holocaust, where leftists were literally the only Jewish allies, and were persecuted alongside them (not to equate the two). Even in Eastern Europe, it was only the left that organized any sort of resistance to the Nazis and Jewish killings and deportations.

      But there probably is a moment in history I don’t know about where a (even nominally) leftist organization or front fell into anti-semitic thoughts and actions during some struggle. That would be a good place to start. (Then again maybe there isn’t.)

      What kind of argument is this? “Look mom, they got genocides, why can’t I have one???”

      You all ignore Sri lanka tamil genocide

      I don’t know whether she lives under some rock. I don’t know who like ignores or doesn’t know like one of worst atrocities in the region.

      Its very bizarre to be like "oh the college protesters or vocal anti zionists don’t mention genocidal regime of sri lanka, hmmm curious ". I wonder what her opinion is of the ltte.

        (sorry deleted this on accident just now)
        Sri Lanka is participating in Operation Prosperity Garden meaning they are complicit in Palestinian genocide. I’m willing to bet Jessie either does not know, does not care or thinks this is good.
