Assholes are Projecting.

☮️💙 Jewish girls found in New York 🌈🌊🍀🕊️Mahalo, BtA~

I have lost hope for this...OUR country.

What happened to:

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

-The Youngbloods

If being an unfeeling ass is part of the criteria, I'd make a terrible bigot.

Israel is the most liberal, most progressive country in the ME, so there's really no excuse for the left to be Jewphobic. It shows immaturity and pseudo-intellectual posing for the most part. I think they'll grow out of it.

The far right, including Christian and Islamic nationalist cretins are just infected with Jewphobia as a kind of mental rabies. They may grow out of it too, but it's basically waiting for inoculation of sanity into their system. Could be a long wait.

…”Jewphobic”. Of course, many of us do despise the ruling factions of the current Israeli administration.

Not liking Netanyahu et al no more makes one “Jewphobic” as not liking Trump make one anti-American.

My apologies if this was sarcasm that went over my head.

who are "Jewphobic". Often they use Israel/Zionism as a justification, but excuses do not hide the antisemitism that is endemic.
(No, criticizing Israel is not inherently antisemitic. Using antisemitic tropes to criticize Israel is antisemitic)

Which people on the left are using what racist tropes?

was the DSA's celebration of Hamas "great victory". That Hamas taught "those people" a lesson.

A pre-October 7 analysis-
Far-Left Antisemitism

On DU we have seen:

Posts saying Jews need to "get over" the Holocaust
Claims all Israeli Jews are "white European colonizers"
American Jews are not using their influence to reign in Israel (as justification for harassment of Jews and vandalism of Jewish owned businesses)
Congress is "in the pocket" of Jewish interests
The Jewish/Zionist lobby dictates US policy
Blood Libel
Denial of antisemitism and that if there is antisemitism Jews have brought it on themselves (this was one of the very first responses to the initial report of the October 7 attack)

I could go on...

But a few anti semitic posts on here out of hundreds of thousands (not that ANY amount is ok) is not grounds for saying the Democratic Party is due for a reckoning.

Antisemitism is not a mainstream thing in the left.

I haven’t heard about the DSA celebrating the October attacks, but the DSA is not the Democratic Party, nor are they the face of the left in the US.

and debated here at length. Perhaps you were elsewhere.
IS DSA not a part of the left?
Who is the "face of the left"?

plenty of it is just cloaked in honest criticism but trotting out ancient libels dressed in modern clothes.
at the very least, there is quite the double standard.

it’s a srs problem, and it’s gonna bite the party in the ass.

What tropes are being used?

but jooos own america is 1.

billionaires do everything this small potatoes group is accused of.

country, where Trump has tried to ban foreign Muslims!

Glad the girls are ok.

Don't we do a disservice to humanity when we elevate it to this level of attention?

Especially when it's a documented fact that more than 50% of what's seen there is either dis- or misinformation?

Is propagating such information that is heavily weighted to be propaganda really helpful in deliberative and socially responsible discourse?

I'm thankful that the children were found. I can only imagine the relief their families are feeling as a result. ❤️

no, it’s not the time to whistle past the graveyard.

regardless of what puppets and bots are instructing.

Garbage in, Garbage out... as the saying goes.

Attention is our most vital tool.

Whatever we focus our attention on, we strengthen.

Some people enjoy porn and UFC fights. Just because they do doesn't mean that I have to.

Not everything passes muster. And every single thing shouldn't. I call it discretion. Some people refer to such as preserving the peace.

We all have our limits.

but where were the chaperones/school staff who should have been keeping an eye on the kids.

If my kids got lost on a field trip, I'd ask those questions.

Good that they found their way out, unfortunate (and unaccepable) that they got in that situation.

The destruction it has caused to society is immeasurable.

basically bots run the right-wing ecosystem.

We (humans) have a thin veneer of civility. Provide us a level practical anonymity, and only then will we show the content of our character, debased and shameful as it often may be. To acknowledge and realize and examine this ugly aspect of our nature is not to condone nor tolerate it, but rather ensure it receives the attention and the full consequence it has earned.

Otherwise, we become Barbie Bush telling everyone, "Why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

it's just bots and we should ignore it

I hope people remember to lift with their knees when moving their goalposts.

NONE!!
