I wish this was a surprise.
JVP doesn’t care about peace. nor Jews, for that matter.
there’s no excuse for people to not know this by now, which means it’s reasonable to assume malice rather than ignorance in this case.
Mamdani has made it very clear that the only type of Jews he entreats with are ones like JVP and their ilk. Ones that would see the rest of us dead before they are inevitably betrayed by the very antisemites they've allied themselves with.
Actually learning more in depth how so many people have used the real horrors of war and the deaths of civilians who are oppressed by their own government that wishes to genocide Jews as well (Hamas is also oppressing Palestinian civilians)- as an excuse to justify horrific antisemitism and side with Hamas has been horrific.
In the past few months I have gone from one of the many who was proudly and loudly "pro-palestine" and "anti-zionist" to properly understanding what these movements are and what Zionism actually is. I've realized my ideals, my wishes, and my opinions are and have always been Zionist- that there are so many who truly despise Jews in these movements.
I am horrified to learn this about JVP which I have heard support for in the past.
Jews deserve to live. Terrorism is not a virtue and these people are not Martyrs they are vile and have chosen to do horrible things for their own gain.
@lunathehound I just want to thank you so much for taking the time to learn and to understand more about all of this. I know it’s difficult and complicated and often heartbreaking, but the fact that you were willing to keep an open mind and to change your perspective with more information is monumental, many people have been unwilling to do that and instead have contributed to making all of this worse. it speaks to your character and compassion that you chose to find out more, and you are truly appreciated. 💙
