Wie immer sehr empfehlenswert: Erica Zingers Kolumne auf @tazgetroete - diesmal über die antisemitischen Demonstrationen an der Columbia University. Tröstet ein bisserl hinweg, über das, was man in der taz sonst zum Thema manchmal lesen muss…
Ups. Sorry. I have to correct myself. To shout out "Go back to Poland!", "You have no culture; all you do is colonize!", "Al-Qassam [Brigades], make us proud, take out another soldier!" Or: "We say justice - you say how? Burn down Tel Aviv. Come on, Hamas, we love you. We also support your rockets“ is of course not antisemitism. just hatred of Jews . Thanks for your objection
@jonburr@tazgetroete
To speak out against antisemitism is supporting genocide?
And to celebrate a terror organization that openly promotes genocide against Jews (and by the way: the killing of queers, feminists, leftists and everything that is progressiv) is something to be proud of?
Interesting.
I wouldn’t use the word hate, but of course Netanyahu is one of the main problems for Israel and the whole region.
But why do you want to close all Israeli embassies? Are you against Israel or against the actual far right Israeli government?
And of course there are several other problems in the region, to get rid of: the biggest one starts with h and ends with amas…
And there is this other problem starts with I and ends with ran
And how about closing all Iranian embassies? Or all from Katar?
And I am sure that Israelis recognize what’s going on in the rest of the world - and they recognize the absolute lack of empathy for all the murdered, raped, tortured, kidnapped Israeli men, women and children. And also the refusal within those who call themselves progressive to take note of the responsibility of Hamas and other Palestinian groups for the actual situation.
Sad but true.
You really have a little strange ideas about other people. But it's an old trick: You make your opponents the way you need them, so that you can hit them even better.

Well, I felt treated like an opponent - was I wrong? Then sorry.
Might be because I am not a native-speaker.
And the conflict is too complicated to discuss it profoundly in 500 letters.
Just reading Benny Morris‘ „1948“ about the roots of the conflict (645 pages;) goddamn it is complicated….
