This headline is ridiculous. The US is currently cracking down on the people who harvest US tomatoes and sending them to a swamp concentration camp with no representation and due process, and publicly hoping people get eaten by alligators.

@ai6yr

meanwhile California's tomato harvest rots bc they've raided the fields....

I feel like screaming

@cynthiarose @ai6yr

I kind of wonder if the Trump regime is taking lessons from Netanyahu about how to starve a population.

(It is slightly more correct to refer to both governments by using the same type of name)

Deadly Exchange | #TranslateHate

Translate Hate was created by American Jewish Committee (AJC) to explain antisemitism. This glossary aims to improve media literacy on antisemitism and hate, especially in the digital realm. See when Deadly Exchange is antisemitic.

That page makes no sense. It takes multiple different claims, and somehow concludes that they are all the same and ergo antisemitic:

1) Israeli training is responsible for US police brutality. (This is a gross mischaracterization of statements made by Jewish Voice for Peace. And obviously US cops don't need any help when it comes to being racist or brutal.)

2) US-Israeli joint military training makes both countries more racist and fascist. (How is this statement antisemitic? Fascists encourage each other, as always.)

3) Accusing Israel of murdering children is antisemitic. (It's a statement of fact that Israel indiscriminately kills massive amounts of Palestinian children and is in the midst of deliberately starving the rest.)

4) It's scapegoating to accuse Israel of complicity in US cops murdering Black people. (Well, no it's not scapegoating if the US cops actually doing it are blamed too. And again, this is a very "creative" interpretation of what was actually said by JVP.)

That page is as logically incoherent and full of false equivalencies as the rest of New Antisemitism.

It looks to me like right wing leaders do not say words to refer to an external objective reality, they say words purely for their emotional impact.
