"If you can't unequivocally condemn attacks against Jews b/c you hold them collectively responsible for the decisions of the most hard-right ministers in Israel’s history then you aren't anti-war, anti-racist, or anti-genocide, you're an antisemite."@allinwithchris.bsky.social

I unequivocally condemn Netanyahu, and anyone who attacks Jews or Palestinians or indeed human beings.
Semite-namely, the people of the Middle East. The war between Israel and Palestine is Semite on Semite. Yes, Semites attack Semites outside of the Middle East.
The horseshoe theory: both MTG and Rashida T’lieb abstained from condemning the Boulder, CO attack on peaceful Jews.
Ok, in the spirit of serious and healthy debate, do you condemn the planning and ordering/directing attacks on Palestinians who were simply waiting for food supplies by the Israeli government?
As usual, some of these replies miss the point. They can't bring themselves to simply condemn hate and attacks on Jews. No, there is no, "yes, but." You should be able to say I condemn shooting and torching Jewish people - full stop! It dooesn't matter if you have a political disagreement.
Thank you, Rabbi Brous. We encounter this too often, even here on Bluesky. Those who do it want to deny that their Israel-hatred isn’t antisemitism, because that’s still considered bad. But being unable to condemn attacks on Jews is hate. We hope people will look within. #EndHate
