Being critical of what Israel is doing right now is completely fine and I am certainly a supporter of the palestinian struggle, but platforming a preacher calling for a "dark day" for all jews is not something that should be supported either. It's a shame that so many people can't seem to differ between jewish people and israel, it just makes it so much easier for israel to hide behind the "antisemitism" argument whenever their actions are called into question. However, antisemitism is still a big issue in the pro-palestinian camp.
You mean kinda how Israelis can't see the difference between people stuck in an open air prison versus Hamas sympathizers?
Yeah, they're just as wrong as the preacher.
It's not about that. It's how anyone supporting the freedom of Palestinians is treated to a draconian moral standard where the messaging always has to be perfect. Whereas Zionist politicians can openly say hateful things and at best get a handwriting non-response from the US.
The messaging doesn't have to be perfect it just can't be 'kill all the jews', it's not exactly a high bar.
This is untrue, if the message isn’t anything other than “i unequivocally support Israel” then you’re open to criticism and often times much worse (loss of employment etc)
But this is not true. I wouldn’t know too much about where you’re from (based on your flair) but in America, we’ve seen people from all walks of life put under social and professional pressure for supporting Palestine in the simplest terms. Either saying free Palestine or critiquing Israel as an apartheid state. Many countries have made it untenable to critique Israel purely based on their actions.
And if I’m being honest, I think you must’ve known that (or should have known that) people are being smeared, fired from popular positions, and even attempts to censor a US congresswoman regarding people who don’t say anything near what you claimed was the bar.
