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€

    Last I checked, Afghanistan is still a country

    And Palestine will still exist when the white supremacist settler-colonialist state squatting on it is dismantled. You knowā€¦ Palestine? That place that has been home to Jewish people since before Jesus?

    So, again, Clyde - do have something other than white supremacism apologetics to offer?

      Youā€™ve lost me. How is Palestine analogous to Palestine? The Israeli leadership will literally die before they cede control of the nation to the Palestinian Authority.

      I donā€™t know who the fuck Clyde is, or why you seem to think anything Iā€™ve said is white supremacy, but it makes me doubt your grasp on reality and wonder if Iā€™m wasting my time on you.

        Youā€™ve lost me.

        No, Clyde - I didnā€™t. You were lost a long time ago, and it has nothing to do with me.

        or why you seem to think anything Iā€™ve said is white supremacy

        Itā€™s really simple - if you engage in apologetics for a white supremacist settler-colonialist state that makes you aā€¦ what?

        Itā€™s about as simple as political math gets, Clyde.

          Well if youā€™re just going to make shit up, I think weā€™re done. Iā€™ll let Clyde know youā€™re looking to argue with him, if I ever meet him.

            Are you going to pretend that your apologetics for a white supremacist settler-colonialist state is (somehow) made up now?

            Donā€™t run off, Clydeā€¦ your ducking and diving is becoming amusing.

              Seems like one of us is pretending, but feel free to point to any apologetics. Check my history. Check reddit, I had the same username for like 10 years. Find anything even remotely supportive of white supremacy, and Iā€™ll stay.

              Or you could apologize for the false accusations, but I doubt you have the capacity to admit a mistake.

                This you, apologist?

                How do you get rid of Israel without killing a lot of Jewish people?

                Geeā€¦ I wonder what the correct term would be for someone who peddles apologetics for a white supremacist settler-colonialist state?

                Donā€™t help meā€¦ itā€™s on the tip of my tongue.

                  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.

                    Israel is currently engaged in a genocide against Palestinians

                    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.
