@peter from that image, i don't get it?

when a jew is offended at someone yelling »free palestine,« and someone replies that they don't find it offensive when »free palestine« is yelled, then that's tankie racism, or what?

@peter
if you see that as the racist part, then i non-tankieously disagree, and i'd suggest this piece by mohammed el-kurd as a counter argument as to why,

»Palestinians are told the words we use dwarf the decades of violence enacted against us by the self-proclaimed Jewish State. A drone is one thing, but a trope—a trope is unacceptable.«

@peter
if you are genuinely against the zionist occupation and genocide, how can you even hear »free palestine« as an insult?

an anti-racist response could be to yell »free palestine« in return — not to go to social media with: »i'm not racist, but ...«

@pelle @peter I have a jewish friend who is against the occupation and the genocide. Though he doesn't much appreciate people shouting "free palestine" at him for wearing a kippah.

He is pro-palestinian. Why does he take offence? Probably because that shout implies that he, just because he is a jew, is suspected by default to side with Israel and is responsible for that state's actions.

Shouting "free palestine" to the street/public is quite different that shouting at someone.

this "antizionist" rabbi #DavidPolsky all you so-called "leftists" and "antifascists" here are defending from having to hear "antisemites" yelling »free palestine« has written some amazing stuff about "the Jewish army's defensive war" on gaza. here from october 2025, enjoy:

»If, however, the Jewish army has the ability to subdue the enemy by means of starvation and dehydration, this would enable them to accomplish their military goals without risking Jewish lives. When that is the case, there is no obligation to pursue peace. [...] Should the enemy reject such peace offers, not only is it permitted to starve the population, but the Mitzvah of leaving the enemy a passage to flee also no longer applies, and thus the Jewish army may surround the locale on all sides.« https://thelehrhaus.com/timely-thoughts/the-starvation-of-gaza-a-halakhic-argument/
