    1. Israel is not committing genocide. Calling it a genocide is extremely disrespectful to people who have, you know, actually suffered genocides.

    2. I haven’t met a single Jew ever in my life that thinks, “Israel is perfect and everything they do is right and every single government policy is right.” Perhaps you remember the large protests that were taking place before Oct 7 regarding judicial reform. “Standing with Israel” simply means “supporting Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal enemies,” or perhaps more simply, “supporting Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state.” It means in a war between a liberal democratic country (however imperfect) and genocidal Jew-hating terrorists, taking the side of the former rather than the latter.

    The reason why anti-Zionist Jews exist now is the same reason they existed before Israel was created. Because they live in privilege and safety, assimilated into left-wing circles, and they don’t want to risk losing that. Anybody who proposes a single secular state is either naive, completely ignorant of history and the broader geopolitical context of the conflict, or just doesn’t give a crap about Jewish well-being. Because Israel’s enemies have made it very, very clear that they aren’t interested in peaceful coexistence with Jews. Their objective is to destroy Israel, along with as many Jewish lives as possible, and return the land to its rightful place in the Muslim empire.




  • Right because the following two things are the same:

    1. A radical Islamist regime that has openly expressed genocidal intent towards the Jewish state, and Jews worldwide, and sponsors Islamist terrorists around the world, and has destabilized the entire Middle East and destroyed countries; and
    2. The world’s only Jewish state with a total population of 9 million people that just wants to be left alone to live in peace but has been forced to fight for its survival since literally the day it declared independence.




  • Anti-Zionist Jews are a very, very small minority. They’re fringe. The fact of the matter is that Israel is closely associated with Jews because it is the Jewish homeland. That’s why antisemitism spikes around the world when violence flares up in Israel - because people hold all Jews responsible for what happens there.

    While someone can logically be anti-Zionist without being antisemitic, we’re not dealing with logical arguments. This isn’t a philosophy class. This is the real world. And the inconvenient truth for many on the left is that there is a significant overlap between the anti-Zionist and antisemite circles on the Venn diagram. Most people just don’t want to confront their unconscious biases about Jewish people.



  • Blatantly biased journalism. Nowhere in the video does anyone say anything about punishing colleges for “pro-Palestinian protests” or for “criticism of Israel.” He specifically refers to colleges that are violating the civil rights of their students.

    Islamist funding of elite US schools is well documented. It has also been well documented that the college encampments were encouraged and funded by outside agitators (specifically the Iranian regime), and many of the participants weren’t even students.

    This is about forcing schools to be places of learning and dialogue for everyone, not breeding grounds for anarchy and activism.
