It cannot be stressed enough that Israel is the ONLY country "Leftists" feel comfortable talking about this way.
No support for anti-war and anti-government protests on the ground (you know, the protests that might actually make a difference)
No empathy for or solidarity with civilian victims (only when it comes to Israeli civilians are you going to hear self-described Feminists and Leftists explain why rape is fine, actually)
No understanding of the difference between the state and its' citizens (or even the Jewish people, generally)
No desire to actually learn about the history of the region and conflict comprehensively (the expulsion of over 700,000 Palestinians during the Nakba was horrific, and a crime that needs to be addressed. Out of curiosity, what was happening to the 800,000-1,000,000 Jews living in the surrounding Arab nations around then?)
All understanding of complexity and nuance? Of the concerns of minority, queer, disabled, and other vulnerable populations with the country? It's all out the window. It's all just one big Evil Zionist Entity.
This is how even accurate criticisms and condemnations of Israel can end up being antisemitic. You are viewing the Israeli state through a lens that you hold to no other nation-state on Earth. (and then holding random Jews to account for that).
You can do better and still advocate for Palestinian liberation and autonomy. It's actually not that hard.

This is the best thing ever. I hope you enjoyed your trip to London. Colin the Caterpillar gets even more splendid.
Emily and I’s time in London is quickly drawing to a close, so we’re celebrating with what I’ve been told is a fine English delicacy- Colin the Caterpillar 🐛 I think that one might be a bit too big for you, Emily. This one is more your size!

western feminists utterly abandoning iranian women, who have been protesting for their rights for a long ass time and who deal with some of the worst shit women anywhere will ever face, is so par for the course i don’t know why i’m even surprised anymore

if you say some bullshit about pesach being about "collective liberation" and "freedom for everyone across the whole world" you should be required to pay a fee to any jew whose there and cant leave so they have to listen to you as you ramble on about how pesach is "about everyone, those evil zionists are trying to make it just about jews!!"

update on Toomaj Salehi, the Iranian rapper who supported the protests in '22 and '23.
His lawyer has told the press Salehi has been sentenced to death today. There's still the possibility to appeal, which they will. However, it's not an anomaly. More protesters have been sentenced to death.

It’s really bizarre watching western leftists bend over backwards to support the Islamic regime. The regime that killed Mahsa Amini. The regime that repressed the protestors by killing and torturing men, women, and children. The regime that remains one of the top enforcers of the death penalty—for things like apostasy or being gay. The regime that tortures, rapes, and kills political prisoners. That has very limited freedom of speech and imprisons journalists.
If you’re able to praise the Iranian regime as “the resistance” then you’ve completely shown that you don’t actually care for any of the people in the Middle East. You only care about your edgy western leftist street cred.

leftists when white supremacists are virulently antisemitic: if there’s four people sitting at a table with a nazi, there are five nazis.
leftists when islamists, arab supremacists, and leftists are virulently antisemitic: well of course there’s bad actors at every protest, and anyway these are just outside provocateurs, and they didn’t do anything really, but if they did it’s because those jews fucking deserved it

wistfully remembering how people (pretended they) cared about antisemitism when it was primarily coming from the right. like there are pre-2023 posts with tens of thousands of notes about antisemitism. now any mention of the existence of antisemitism (when its worse than it ever was) doesn’t breach containment outside of jewish circles. its almost funny how quickly people stopped caring when it was inconvenient.

If you didn't want people to associate your movement with antisemitism, then maybe you shouldn't have immediately celebrated a massacre against Jews before the bodies were even cold and then doubled down on harassing Jews around the world every fucking day for a solid 6 months. Just a thought! All of this has been an active, persistent, deliberate choice, and you're not victims because the rest of polite society is accurately describing your behavior as antisemitic.

Hello if you say that a marginalized group is "crying [racism/antisemitism/transphobia/etc]" when they're talking about violence against their communities, then you're a bad person and you need to do some serious soul searching and do better.

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again.
if your activism is based on rage, it will be weaponized. YOU will be weaponized. probably by the same people you claim to hate (like nazis).
your activism HAS to be based on empathy.
