Not to be nuanced on tumblr but I think it’s possible to believe that there are severe human rights abuses happening in Palestine right now and also believe that it’s wrong to try and rectify this by instilling fear in Jewish communities via violence.
Multipul things wrong in this one post
1. Genocide is not just "several human rights abuses"
2. This is moral pandering and putting fealings first. Would you say during the nazi's holocaust we shouldn't be instilling fear into german communities? Its placing one group's fealings over a group who's far more oppressed and is under going genocide.
3. This post reaks of liberal zionism. Jesus fucking christ. Liberals love fake nuance. This only gives credence to zionist's fear mongering.
Also op Im not calling you a zionist not even a liberal zionist. You pander to liberal zionists due to your need to moral pander and having to be "nuanced".
"Would you say during the nazi's holocaust we shouldn't be instilling fear into german communities?"
Yes! Yes, I would say that! What possible impact do you think attacking German-American communities would have had on the actions of a completely different country? German-Americans had no influence over Nazi Germany, and Nazi Germany didn't care what happened to them. This is the great plan to "free Palestine"? Pick a scapegoat, designate them acceptable targets despite their lack of influence over the actions of a country half the globe away, and "instill fear"? How utterly fascist. How utterly useless.
For fuck's sake, is it too much to ask of leftists that they be effective? We've got leftist organisations calling the murder of two people outside a Jewish museum "the most anyone in this country has done for Palestine," when, from where I'm standing, all it's achieved is giving Trump ammunition for targeting pro-Palestine protests, further alienated potential allies, and given fuel to Netanyahu's Kahanism. But hey, it instilled plenty of fear in the Jewish community, and apparently that's enough to make it the greatest thing ever!
As long as leftists think that "instilling fear" (in random scapegoats, at that) is the best activism there is, they're going to continue to achieve jack shit.
point 2 was basically the justification for the japanese internment camps
