I definitely don’t think being pro Palestinian warrants losing your job and all of that. Just as being pro Israel should not warrant it. But there’s a limit. Are you being pro Palestine or are you screaming death to the jews. There’s a big difference. Seems people get caught up in the heat of this extremely contentious issue and forget that neither side in this decades old conflict is without sin. People become extreme in their beliefs and go overboard. If you fuck around like that, well, you get what you deserve.
When the headline is about people being pro-Palestine, why do you immediately jump to the assumption that the people in question are being antisemitic?
You sound like the kind of person who’s causing people to be fired for opposing genocide.
I think it’s the grey area where there is no clear line where the problem is. In the article there are cases where a line was considered crossed for using words like “genocide” to describe what Israel is doing and the much maligned “from the river to the sea” slogan (what people seem to forget is that it is a rhetorical inversion of the first article in Likud’s foundational Manifesto).
The slogan predates Likud. Likud was mocking it, not the other way around. Like 10 years difference if not more.
It’s always been genocidal and the original Arabic ends with “Palestine is Arab”. 75% of Palestinians in Palestine use it that way. It was also Saddam Hussein’s last words.
It’s also vaguely an allusion to the Song of the Sea which is a daily Jewish prayer. The song has a strong “drowning people” part.

I mean thanks for proving my point. It’s just such an insanity inducing topic that no one can have a conversation about it.
