Because our opponents will always be nibbling at what we can and cannot say and we should resist and reject their bad-faith criticism. Our opponents are trying to paint us as antisemites. Your honest attempt at distancing ourselves from antisemitic groups has exactly the opposite effect: It legitimizes their criticism where it was never in good faith to begin with

I'm honestly just confused why people who aren't antisemites would insist on using the first part, alone.
And omit the second part "Palestine must be free", thereby creating the ambiguity of what they mean in the first place.

Why concede that ground, though? It's not about the second part. They will always find something. Stop playing their game, you can't ever win. It's in bad faith

There must be an Innuendo Studios video about this one, right?
