    Wild stuff. I wonder if their attitude would change if they got kidnapped and had to live in detention for years.

      I really feel for the hostages. The worst part must be their friends outside bombing the shit out of the place “to get them back”

      Have you guys tried not carpet bombing the hostages takers? It’s usually how hostage-taking work.

      If bank robbers take hostages, the correct course of action isn’t to bomb the bank.

        Turns out, it’s just hours of audio of Palestinians being murdered.

        I’m given to understand it’s a big hit on Capitol Hill, especially, though not exclusively, amongst Republicans.

      The problem is serious, but also the antisemitism is only incidental. If the positions were reversed, they would be anti-Arab partisans, crying for the ‘genetically-based ethnic cleansing’ of Arabs. The core of the issue is that it’s just team sports to them instead of the lives of millions.

      Everywhere does. It’s not just that actual antisemitism is on the rise, though: talking about it at all has become difficult. Israel has done an unbelievable amount of damage to Judaism worldwide by working to conflate anti-genocidal sentiments with anti-Jewish ones. Any time I see anyone being accused of antisemitism my first reaction is “no, Israel doesn’t represent all Jews and they’re committing fucking mass murder,” which gives cover to people who really are talking about shadowy globalist conspiracies or whatever.

      And talking about it with other Jews is more exhausting than anyone else, because often it turns out they’re also confusing the two. Then I have to walk a tightrope between trying to help someone see their own hypocrisy and making them tune me out entirely. I’ve had enough of that impossible type of conversation while trying to talk down the Trump voters I know, thankyouverymuch… it makes me want to disconnect from the community entirely. Disgusting and shameful aren’t strong enough words.
