A significant portion of Palestinians want to be rid of jews. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard extraordinarily anti-semetic things from my family that escaped Palestine. And if that’s the case think about how the people who still live there feel. At the very least I was able to convince my dad that his problem was with the state of Israel and not Jewish people (all the Jews who spoke out were a big help in that), but for my family that lives a half a world a way that’s not something I can reasonably do.
To be clear fuck Israel and Palestinians should be free from their oppressors. But both of them want ethnic cleansing it’s just that only Israel has the power to do it (it also doesn’t help that Israel killed/black bagged all the major speakers/organizers who weren’t extremists throughout the 70s-90s)
Also from the river to the sea is not inherently anti-semetic
Hamas didn’t attack Jews anywhere in the world. They are solely focusing on freeing their land from Israeli occupation. Hamas is made up of orphans and refugees. I don’t blame Palestinians for mixing up Zionism with Judaism because that’s what Zionists have been doing for decades
There are zionist asshats in this very thread conflating zionism and Judaism. Those zionist assholes contribute to antisemitism, they are on the same team as the nazis.
I think you’re misattributing them not doing something with them not being able to do something. I’m telling you, the anti-semetism I’ve heard does not stop with Israel. It’s literal Jews control the world and must be eliminated rhetoric. Nazi shit. Ik what Hamas is made up of and why they exist, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to kill all Jews. Hamas in particular with that, people who have been made into orphans, have had their family killed, their land stolen are the most likely to be anti-semetic especially when the people doing it to them are the ones telling them “we represent all jews”. They’re a group of extremists purposefully created by Israel and they’re playing their part very well in Israel’s genocide.
Defend Palestinians, but don’t be naïve about how many of them feel towards Jews. I don’t blame them for how they feel either but that doesn’t make those feelings any less wrong. And it also doesn’t mean Israel is right in their actions. They’re the ones with all the power and they’re the ones who crafted the situation they’re in. They hold all the blame and should stop what they’re doing regardless of the sentiment Hamas or any Palestinian holds towards them.
You don’t have to ignore their anti-semetism to be right about Israel being in the wrong for committing genocide, or to be right about Palestinians having the right be free in their land. Ignoring it only makes it harder to convince and talk to people who know about it.
It is not the Palestinians fault that the people colonizing them are Jewish and use the Torah to justify their war crimes
