"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Just saw that one thread. I had a similar argument against people here a couple months ago.
There is a significant portion of Jewish people living in the West who support the state of "israel".
To try and make it seem as if it's a non-issue, or anti-semitic to point out, is jewish exceptionalism, in my opinion.
If 80% of Muslims living in America supported Al-Qaeda, we'd have already been put into death camps.
This is really the crux of the issue. For some reason people on the left are ready to give Jews (not all of them) a pass for being genocide supporters simply because they're Jewish. The same cannot be said of their attitude towards other genocide supporters who are of a different race.
It's like the dumbasses who think the problem is netanyahu and not the 98% of Jewish isntraelis who:
Make up majority of the occupation soldiers/genocidaires
Consistently vote for the same government they have no problem removed about and blaming the entire genocide on
Overwhelmingly support the extermination of a nation of people
It's just pathetic and quite frankly I'm sick and tired of hearing the excuses. B.E is breath of fresh air in this regard.
No one wants to name the actual problem.
I'm disgusted by his pro imperialist takes on Ukraine, Venezuela and Xinjiang. I don't care what he's like on social media or what his other positions are. He launders state department talking points.
Don't forget his doxxing of other socialists
Indeed, on that area, B.E's very much a dipshite.
Edit: downvoter on here and there is a connard
other than the queerphobic shit he's 100% correct
He’s always been pretty bonkers on social media
there's seemingly a lot jewish people who are zionists and/or support israel... it's fucked.
B Empanada seems to not understand (or i'm misinterpreting him) that this demonstrates more about the Israeli PR machine than anything about being jewish.
he tends to take this point-of-view about all western citizens too. just edge lord bullshit "oh you are from the US okay you drench yourself daily in Iraqi blood" type bullshit.
You are misinterpreting him. All takes on relating Zionism to Jewishness, from all people, are bad. His point is that it does not matter. If you are an anti-Zionist Jew, cool, you don't deserve extra praise. If you are a Zionist Jew, that's awful, you deserve just as much hate as any other genocide supporter.
I feel like BE realized there's no reward for being a premature antifascist and is now lashing out at people who came to the right position later.
Liberal Zionism is not the "right position".
Yeah it took them 2 years to come to a milquetoast, weak anti-zionism. The libs' trial by bullying is far from complete. If we let them get away claiming ignorance they'll just do the same thing next genocide.
