BREAKING: Portland Jews are taking over the Burnside Bridge with a giant menorah to rekindle their commitment to a liberated Palestine. @jvp_pdx joins hundreds fighting for Palestinian freedom as they shut down 8 bridges for 8 nights of Hanukkah to demand a permanent ceasefire!

By purporting to speak on behalf of Jews, this pathetic fringe generates antisemitism

And they dare constantly griping “not in our name” while themselves pretending to be broadly representative

Now excuse me, Syrian patriots have to go take a leak

So you think Jewish people saying Jews don’t support genocide are causing more antisemitism than the Israeli government using regular Jewish people and false claims of antisemitism as a shield for the genocide and atrocities they are committing?

Really?

(Source.)


No Jewish peace activist (as far as I know) has claimed to speak on behalf of all Jews; I have never seen any evidence of that. Anti‐Zionist Jews are all too aware of the Zionists blighting their communities, and it’s no good to gatekeep and invent a criterion suggesting that they’re actually gentiles. Jewish Zionists are still Jews, maybe pretty lousy Jews (and lousy human beings more generally), but Jews all the same.

As for the claim that these peace activists are generating antisemitism… well, do I even need to reply to that? It’s just Zionists inverting reality as usual: up is down, left is right, freedom is slavery, &c. If anything, Jewish peace activists are doing far more to reduce antisemitism than any Zionist ever will, because they’re evidence that not all Jews are warmongers.

Some of the high‐I.Q. replies in the thread are arguably better than the original post itself, including:

They are the Westboro Baptist Church of the Jews, but more annoying.

They’re constantly saying that the Zionist state generates antisemitism in the diaspora by acting in the name of Jews on a different continent. But they take no responsibility for pissing people off in the diaspora - as Jews - by being petulant, entitled cry-bullies

How do we stop them? They’re obnoxious.

Why do you want to stop people for opposing genocide?

That’s not what they’re doing. They’re furthering genocide.

Genocide is what Israel is doing. The people calling for a ceasefire are the ones against genocide. [Insert evidence here.]

    Will no one rid us of these troublesome antifascists?

    Liberal social media just keeps platforming fascists.
