(32,777 posts)and I don't see how this is any different. I do not support the indiscriminate slaughter of any group of people, regardless of race or religion. Period.
I will speak plainly and truthfully about every and any country that is committing atrocities--whether the US, Israel, Russia, or China. I frequently point out the atrocities of our own government, and there are many. No one gets a pass from me.
I'm not sure where the confusion is coming from but it's really weird and unfortunate. Just substitute the countries' names and we'd all be on the same page, expressing outrage at the bombing of defenseless civilians.
What's worse is that we have people who are not only supporting the slaughter but are calling anyone who is upset about it anti-Semitic: So what you're saying is that I have to support the mass execution of millions of Palestinians (most of whom are children) in order to not be called anti-Semitic?
Is that really where we're at? Because, if so, it looks like the real problem is anti-Palestinian bigotry coupled with gaslighting.
