Remember, EM POC only!

How are you all doing? Anything exciting you wanna share? Anything you wanna share that's not so exciting but rather frustrating instead?

Spill it all here, comrades.

    Liberalism means not talking about things like cause and effect, even when it's blatantly obvious.

    Rant about Isreal,Antisemitism

    It seems the primary contradiction for antisemitism, at least in this moment, is isreal. We cannot target antisemitism until we solution isreal, which is nothing short of disarming and returing Palestinian land.

    Why does it feel whenever this conversation starts, we devolve into land acknowledgement like statements that materially mean nothing like "It's Zionism not Judaism". As I do strongly agre with the statement, when laws are being passed saying "Actually zionism is Judaism and calling someone a zionist is antisemitic", then must we continue to put this asterisk on our statements? The topic is now, the Jewish religion has been hijacked by genocidal freaks who want to hide behind their religion to commit evil acts. Freaks who successfully used their power to give themselves political cover, in the legal sense. Note, this is the same framing people had no issues spewing about Islam when suicide bombings and terrorist attacks were on the rise but they hold their tongue now.

    I'm really tired of having to center Jewish voices and feelings( even anti zionist ones) when it's Palestine that's the victim right now. My heart does go out to anti zionist Jews though, it must be lonely to be in a religion that has powerful people progressing a genocide. But the victims right now are Palestinians and anything less takes away from the current issue; a state propped up by foreign funding is allowed to commit countless warcrimes while genociding the native population.

      This has been happening for ages in the UK and it's insane.. Jeremy Corbyn got labelled an antisemite years ago for the even mildest anti Israel statement, it's a disgusting but effective strategy

      However it's working less and less now, people are less likely to care about 'the protests make me feel unsafe' types when they see photos of the babies Israel is killing
