Dear Swifties:
The radical theocratic terrorists that targeted the Taylor Swift concert are functionally the same people that want to destroy Israel.
The ideology is the same. The willingness to kill civilians is the same. The goal is the same.
When you support Hamas, you’re supporting the same people that wanted to assassinate Taylor Swift and her fans.
fuck #hamas (many #palestinians agree)
fuck #netanyahu (many #israelis agree)
the problem:
someone speaks against hamas, and someone else confuses that with speaking against palestinians and supporting netanyahu
or:
someone speaks against netanyahu, and someone else confuses that with speaking against israelis and supporting hamas
but:
some *do* speak against israelis or palestinians
*nobody* can attack palestinians, israelis, #muslims, or #jews
(1/3)
you speak truth. the cries of antisemitism are untrue here
and yet: antisemitism is real
so sometimes you say this truth, and suddenly standing next to you is a grinning antisemite
the reverse as well
you criticize hamas for mass murdering terrorism... and they label you a supporter of genocide on palestinians
a lie
but
when you criticize hamas, all of a sudden standing next to you is a grinning supporter of genocide on palestinians
it's delicate and difficult
@benroyce @briannawu Having visited Israel many times, and knowing many Israeli's personally, I know they are of a very different mind than post-#Rabin-assassination hard-right shift that keeps the current leadership in power and has kept #Palestinians hamstrung, in economic limbo, under increasing occupation/restriction since the Oslo Accords.
I think it's time for #Biden to flex his lame-duck status and stop this war without respect for political constituencies near and dear to #Democrats
agreed
rabin should have lived
the reason he did not, the reason violence keeps happening, is strictly because of parasites
hamas and netanyahu, who use violence to drive support for themselves
violence as a means of power. hamas is motivated to murder. netanyahu is motivated to murder. because it works to remain relevant
the only way to escape this dynamic is reject hamas and netanyahu, in the name of palestinians and israelis
