And why do I call it out more than others? Hmm.. maybe it has to do with the fact that the same entity has killed half my family line and is still ethnically cleansing my literal friends and families from their own homes? But no no, clearly, making comparisons between apartheid Israel and fascism is the only line crossed! you're correct! I love how you think you're fooling anyone with this dishonest discourse of yours. Oh you mean you're connected to the discourse and I'm not? I mean, I'll have to bring that up to my Jewish grandmother and Jewish relatives who were exterminated by the millions by crazy people who spread conspiracies and propaganda that made Jews out to be special, evil scapegoats. And millions of people heard it and bought into it and spread it (and are still spreading it!) Yeah, but Jews shouldn't be sensitive to that ever again. Its all in the past now, you're right. I'm the bad one for pointing it out. Good to know. 2 1

Your trolling will only make people more quickly realize the brutality behind Zionist forces who try to equate suffering, fyi. So I thank you for being so overtly clumsy in how you try to defend Israel by both-sides'ing the issue. Such rhetoric will be looked back on as similar to those who mentioned things like South African anti-apartheid activists doing things like "necklacing" to people who tried to sabotage efforts to end the apartheid regime. Again, why has the Israeli government refused to follow UN Resolution 194 and allow 7 Million Palestinian refugees the right of return to their ancestral homeland, despite this being necessary for a 2-state solution? Before his death, even President Kennedy in the US said one of the most important objectives of his foreign policy would be facilitating the return of said Palestinian refugees back to their homeland.

History cannot be changed but the citizens are trying their best to better it moving forward- which is why we're opposing our government's policies now. oh please, they are not trying to change anti-Palestinian policies. The reform has absolutely nothing to do with Palestinian rights. In fact, it proves how much Israeli society does not care about Palestinian human rights. Because it shows Israeli society can mobilize itself and go protest in the streets if a cause is important enough for them. People who are trying to give these protests a Palestinian angle by raising the Palestinian flag are get ridiculed, harassed, or straight-up beaten. More ironically, two of the Supreme Court judges that Israelis are fighting to save are illegal settlers themselves living in the West Bank and benefiting from apartheid laws. 6 minutes ago, besaid said: But YOU liked this statement.

I remember like three years ago there was an article investigating the "ADL antisemitism tracker" (they are the ones that send all these "antisemitic violent attacks up by 500% this year! etc reports to news channels) only to find out that they constitute pro-Palestinian rallies and just the phrase "free Palestine" as anti semitism which is included in those reports. 1

Israeli ethno-nationalism is fine because an organization defends it as such says so, even though this organization also said South African ethno-nationalism and apartheid was fine? The Anti-Defamation League is a right-wing org that literally employs FBI agents who spied on anti-apartheid activists in South Africa and sold their information to the apartheid regime in South Africa at the time. All while these same FBI agents worked out of San Francisco to also spy on both progressive Arab and Jewish organizations in the US who were criticizing Israel's ethno-nationalist policies: Quote The scandal has not yet received the national media attention it deserves, but West Coast activists are up in arms about revelations that the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith secretly employed a self-styled art dealer named Roy Bullock to collect information on a wide range of individuals and organizations deemed anti-Jewish or hostile to Israel, including Rep. Ron Dellums, the ACLU, New Jewish Agenda, MERIP and many Arab-American, Palestine solidarity and anti-apartheid activists and groups. Bullock, who was employed by the CIA in El Salvador in the 1980s and also served as an FBI informant, worked for the ADL for more than three decades, amassing a database that included files on some 12,000 individuals and 950 organizations. Quote Particularly ominous is evidence that some of the material in Bullock’s files was obtained from Thomas Gerard, an inspector in the San Francisco Police Department’s intelligence unit, which seems to have perpetuated the old “Red Squad” tradition of monitoring perfectly legal political activism. Gerard is believed to have given Bullock information from confidential police records, in apparent violation of the law. Gerard and Bullock also shared data with the FBI and sold information on anti-apartheid activism to South African intelligence agents. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1993/10/19/jewish-groups-tactics-investigated/96daef6a-a325-4a8a-ba09-da211fc1ba8a/
