    I got in an argument with my mother a few years ago about support for Palestine / criticism of Israel. Her argument was basically “we just can’t tell apart the antisemites from the legitimate support so we just shouldn’t have a movement.” It makes me think that the Washington Post decides to write about posts like this every once and awhile and actually write things like that. “but sorry the whole movement is antisemitic” and that’s where we get that absolutely fucking insane argument from.
