Walking out on Jerry Seinfeld because he’s Jewish is 100% antisemitic. Waiving swastikas is antisemitic. edit: I’m also against Israel leveling Palestine. 2 Link to comment

There's a lot of different takes, lot of different perspectives. Up to us to only pay attention to the loudest and most ragebait ones or to dig a little deeper and try and create bigger pictures. 1 1 Link to comment

Correct, but walking out on Seinfeld because he supports the Israeli government is not antisemitic. 3 Link to comment

Gage County Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 This article seems to suggest the US has intel or has the ability to gather intel on Hamas and their tunnels and aren't currently sharing it. WaPo: U.S. cites intelligence, offers Israel supplies to limit Rafah operation 1 1 Link to comment

The students that walked out don't like. That's not antisemitic if that's why they walked out. Now, if they walked out because he's Jewish, then obviously as you said that's antisemitic. I think the stance that everyone sucks is the best way to go. The Israeli government is a bunch of a$$h@!es, Hamas is a bunch of a$$h@!es, and they both antagonize each other. Innocent civilians are the ones who always suffer whether Israeli or Palestinian. 1 1 1 Link to comment

If you're wondering why we don't see more of this on the news, it's because it was thoughtful and three minutes long. He also mentions something that troubles me a lot: why are the U.S. campus protests getting far more coverage than what is happening in Gaza as we speak? 1 1 1 Link to comment

If the goal is to destroy Hamas, this is a 101 class in exactly how not to. 1 2 Link to comment
