ā€œThe resolution suggests that all anti-Zionismā€”it statesā€”is antisemitism. Thatā€™s either intellectually disingenuous or just factually wrong,ā€ said New York Representative Jerry Nadler, who voted present. ā€œThe authors if they were at all familiar with Jewish history & culture should know about Jewish anti-Zionism that was and is expressly not antisemitic. This resolution ignores the fact that even today, certain Orthodox Hasidic Jewish communities ā€¦ have held views that are at odds with the modern Zionist conception.ā€

    How is that apologetics? Thereā€™s a fucking war, and Israel is currently engaged in a genocide against Palestinians, and Hamas is using their deaths to fundraise for their next terrorist attack. How do you end the ethno-state without violence? I donā€™t know how we get there.

    Why am I even bothering with you. Youā€™re clearly more interested in labeling me to feel superior than you are in being honest about the problem.

      Oh, youā€™ve only noticed that now - thanks to Hamasā€™ attack, eh? What did you think Israel has been doing since 1949, Clyde?

      their next terrorist attack.

      Do tellā€¦ what differentiates you from the people who labelled the ANC ā€œterroristsā€ back in the 80s? Or the people who labelled the Viet Cong ā€œterroristsā€ back in the 70s? Or the people who labelled Jim Brown a ā€œterroristā€ back when the Antebellum South was still a thing?

      Sorry, Clyde - but itā€™s a loaded question. We both know the answer to that one.
