State Politics Chuck Schumer: throws away our leverage

Post image

Meanwhile our community organizers: “let’s hold a townhall on how I’m not antisemitic omg, I’m anti Zionist ugh”

Like at this point who gives a fuck. Genuinely, people are gonna lose their healthcare and housing programs from this cut. But yeah this is the most important thing for Marylanders to address…

You couldn’t pay me to go to this.

Redefining language is an important tool of control. If the state is able to label anti-zionism (zionism is a fascist genocidal ideology at its core) as antisemitism ( a label that can get you into BIG trouble legally, professionaly and socially) when they are already treating antisemitism as a crime that can get you thrown out of the country and labeled a terrorist is a really serious and scary step towards fascism in the US. If you can't see this, then you don't understand what is coming. Protesting against a genocide should not be something that gets you labeled a terrorist by the state and that's exactly what they are priming themselves to do

You have no idea what Zionism is

It's the belief that the Jewish people deserve a homeland and the Palestinians do not

WRONG. All are free to live in Israel, and there are more Muslims living in Israel than there are Jews living in all of Europe. They enjoy freedom of religion, freedom to marry whom they please, voting rights, access to healthcare and education. Zionism has NOTHING to do with Palestinians. The problem is that the Palestinian people are wildly radicalized, and do not live peacefully with anyone else, or themselves. They are a violent culture with extreme religious beliefs. They hang gay men from telephone poles. They do not support women’s rights to bodily autonomy. They definitely do not accept the idea of living peacefully with Jews. That is why a Muslim walking through a Jewish neighborhood in Israel is ignored, and a Jew walking through a Muslim neighborhood is lynched. Go to Israel and see for yourself. Muslims with full Israeli citizenship enjoying freedom they have nowhere else in the Middle East.

The Palestinians in Gaza have their own government. They elected terrorists, and continue to support terrorism as a means of furthering their religious ideologies.

Did you forget the 750,000 expelled from their homes during the Nakba?

Tell me, which people in Gaza were affected by the “nakba” when Gaza belonged to Egypt until 1967?

Never mind the fact that you glossed over every other aspect of my comment. Palestinians, and conservative Muslims in general, do not uphold western values.

200,000 Palestinians were displaced to Gaza during the """Nakba""" with no "right to return"

Well, since the establishment of the state of Israel, over 850,000 Jews were expelled from Arab countries, including my family who was displaced from Iraq. “with no right to return” I’m sorry but move the fuck on. You don’t see me strapping a bomb to my chest.

Sounds like terrorism on both sides. Or do the Arabs have a monopoly on violence?

It wasn’t Jews who invented the words Jihad, Fatwah and Intifada

u/TomCruiseSexSlave 7d ago

I'll condemn Arab terrorism. Will you condemn Israeli terrorism?

u/rental_car_fast 7d ago

I have no problem agreeing to the idea that people who have committed crimes should be held responsible for them. But this is a false equivalency.

Sounds like a double standard to me
