Is it cognitive dissonance or simply moral depravity that compels some to speak up at hint of anti-semitism while the reality of ethnic cleansing rages on?
It’s not a moral crime to speak harsh truths about a state, a nation, or of a person and or people if those truths are grounded in reality. If they are false, expose them,
But if you must, please go ahead and open your anti-semitism umbrella, because its raining blood and body parts.
I am not sure if it is worth responding to you regarding this topic, but I do not consider criticism of the State of Israel, the IDF, Netanyahu to be anti semitic. I consider attacking Judaism without apparently understanding that it is the ideology of Zionism that is the problem not the religion of Judaism to likely be antisemitic. I do understand that many Jews in Israel support the ongoing genocide. But in my view, it is their Zionist thinking that allows them to give this support. It is not a clear cut issue, I realize, but, to me, it is important to know that there are many Jews who oppose Zionism and Zionism is the thinking that is allowing a genocide to happen.
Thank-you for reply. Well I think yours is a very worthy reply,and appreciate you taking the time to reply, and I agree with you. Zionist is not Judaism.
I read ThomNast`s comment in full, he should have spoken of the cruelty of the Zionists (not Jew or Jews) but unfortunately for many these are one in the same because of the very fact the Zionist regime declares itself the Jewish state, and obliviously not enough Jews have spoken loudly enough to counter this false equivalence.
If ThomNast did blatantly bash the Jewish faith in a different comment, perhaps you should have made your point in reply that comment . I could not find his other comment, Substack threads do not always display all comments nor in chronological order.
Though I have to agree in part, any faith preaches that their faith has Divine right over others has questionable ideology in my opinion.
Back a few comments, another commenter notes that ThomNast makes a lot of claims about the holocaust not happening but he does not give any links. He seems to think we should just believe him. Check out what musicbob says four or five comments before this one.
Holocaust deniers, well, do they rank as low as those who deny that, right now as we speak, the Zionist regime is carrying out a policy of ethnic cleansing with extreme cruelty?
It’s pointless to act like Chicken Little every time someone writes something uninformed. I’ve yet to find anyone with whom I totally agree; we all have different perspectives and different motives for engaging with strangers on social media.
As for me, I’m here for the discourse. I offer my opinions, and I want to hear others’ opinions. I understand the risks, you see, I’ve completely lost faith in governments and corporate media outlets. They lie!
So choose whose arguments you engage with. If they seem logically sound, engage. And try to avoid creating an echo chamber.
Of course, I have my biases, as does everyone else. Not many people can fully separate their reasoning from their emotions. I know nothing about you, and you know nothing about me.
I might be an avid reader of Caitlin’s posts, but I often find myself at odds with her simplistic views. If you’ve read my comments on this post, you’d see that I don’t think Israel is a uniquely evil society, but I do think the collective West is . because it is guilty for enabling and allowing such evil to exist for so long!
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,”
