Jeez...thanks for posting that.

I don't want to attribute actions of the few to the whole movement (as I said earlier, that is a conservative tactic to assume that the actions of the few means the whole movement is like that). So Im sure there are those who do not want to do that.

But many in this thread are defending it as well. It's just so strange because this is the exact type of thing that the people protesting are usually sensitive of. Yet people earlier in this thread were talking about "Jewish fee fees"

I think what makes this specific issue so hard, is that there are minorities on both sides of it. like in Israel, they have all the power. But across the world, Jewish people do not feel like a powerful majority. So people might be used to railing against oppression and powerful people, not realizing that there are also a vulnerable people hearing these words and taking them a different way. October 7th is still fresh in everybody's mind, and Israel's horrible actions do not erase how that felt either. Israel can also be a genocidal force, while also Jewish people are at risk of anti-semitic violence. Both can be true.
