(4,013 posts)You might have noticed very few are paying attention to how this all came about. That no longer matters, now that it's been painted as involving a "Jewish list", evoking real, visceral emotions and fear.
Can you say manipulation and weaponization of anti-semitism? It's a mouthful but it's real and it's in service of the pro-Israel lobby, donors and Netanyahu.
I guess the crazy dichotomy in the Trump Admin - Miller fascists vs the pro-Israel lobby - will result in crossed wires sometimes, intentionally or not. It's a very scary situation, for Palestinians and Jews alike imo.
But the ones actually and actively being harmed are Palestinians and free speech and human rights advocates. This is about silencing dissent against a genocide, not compiling "Jewish lists".
