You know, you can have more than one discussion at once and anti-semitism is still a thing despite Israel’s war on Palestine, and unfortunately, these two topics intersect at certain points.
of course it is, there are combatants on both sides and genocides can happen amidst a war.
So all members of a nation should shut up because their government sucks? We are some kind of monolith because of a detail in our passports? No. I didn‘t vote for them.
removing nuance helps not a single palestinian and isolates people who are experiencing hate against them to the only side that says there is hate, and that’s a group that brandishes that hate to perpetuate more hate. jews who are focused on doikyat need to be able to talk to their peers who are scared about what they are scared of in order to direct them to help the oppressed people of palestine and understand that zionism will fuel that hate against them rather than protect them. that is a delicate conversation and denying that only helps the zionist. it may be simple for you because you do not require deprogramming, but for us we have to assess things and pull apart how the media like the new york times and the bbc manipulates us based on the fears we fear. we have to understand the dog whistles of the zionists and the anti-semites and deconstruct them. the reason for this is that anti-semites and zionists preach the same message: there is no place for jews here. by creating a black and white binary view of the influences on our outlook we create a situation where one persons binary doesn’t match another binary. these have been the tools of division for 20k years. the real way forward is to make clear that what you want is a world safe for all who live on it, and what you are against is hate based ideologies. when a jew says they are experiencing a rise in hatred in their day to day life take a moment to acknowlege that this is real and that it’s israel who’s driving this fear and benefits from it.
