Do you think Israel is going to outright state their intent of genocide? No. They won’t and never will. Actions speak louder than words, however.
With that said, it puzzles me when Americans who have zero ties to ethnic Palestine or do not possess any Arabian descent claim to be “pro-Palestine”.
That’s what confuses me. America literally benefits from Israel’s occupation of Gaza (and thus the greater Palestine population). If Palestine were to be “liberated”, then that would potentially impose threats to Israel, thus threatending American interests in the broader Middle East.
What Israel is doing in Gaza is not the fault of Jewish people. Unfortunately, Jewish people get the blame from many antisemites from an American lense due to mere lack of knowledge of the situation. There is nothing wrong with condemning Israel for what they are doing to innocent Palestinians, but that doesn’t make it okay to put the blame on Jewish people. There are many Jewish people who also rightfully condemn what Israel is doing, but they don’t get any credit or support
I’m quite certain there are Palestinians who are not antisemitic and innocent of doing bad things who are nevertheless experiencing bad things happening to them.
Also, the notion [stated above] that it is strange for non-Arabs to feel sympathetic towards Palestinian struggles is just as dumb as the notion that it is strange for non-Jews to feel sympathetic towards Israeli struggles.
It should not be at all complicated!
All humans should be seen as equals in the eyes of other humans as I quite firmly believe they are in the eyes of God.
It should be that way anyway but Sicilians are far superior to mere Italians. SWIDT?
America hasn’t cared about Palestinians for 70 years
What makes Israel’s current genocide of Palestine any different?
A liberated Palestine implicates Israel’s geopolitical (and economic) standing in the Middle East. Give Palestine autonomy and a well-funded military? Then you’re looking at the invasion of Israel.
That’s USA soldiers sent to Israel to defend Israel.
You’re willing to risk that? Be my guest.
If Israel is threatened, then that means American imperialism is threatened. That means America loses economic power. That means American citizens are affected.
Everything you are saying is either a lie or an anti-Semitic trope:
There was no genocide
There was no occupation (if there was, 10/7 wouldn’t have happened)
You can’t separate Jewish people from Israel
Accusing a Jew of divided loyalty is an anti-Semitic trope
It just goes on and on…I would expect nothing less from an anti-Semite.
I’m going to ignore your question, but I’m not going to ignore your anti-Semitism…like the topic of the thread suggests.

I’ve been away and this thread blew up with 133 posts, I will have to look at but I assume there was some political discussions or discussions of the Israel/Palestine situation that I was trying to avoid. Back to antisemetic incidents…
“I’d love to explore other speakers,” she said, insisting that lectures about the Holocaust — the Nazis’ slaughter of 6 million Jews during World War II — and combating antisemitism are still welcome.”
The school essentially says that they will happily have speakers, as long as they not talk about the Israel genocide in Gaza
Picture worth a few words. Looks like 8 white, male, students.
One appears to want hide his face.
With kids you just never know. Stupid prank to just get attention or
real Nazi, white supremacy, believers ? Hopefully it’s the former and
kids can be educated.
But investigation is warranted. Hope it was just wanting to go viral and
be a stupid kid. One or two kids even does the movie death pose (arms crossed).
Sad.
