I stan Shai Davidai. Kapos and asajews deserve all the withering criticism they're getting.
I support his cause but he personally seems dislikable. Would you really go so far as to say you like him?
Yeah, not gonna lie that he's annoying and doesn't seem to get how the first amendment works. I'm still gonna cheer him on for calling these people what they are. I'm tired of these fringe lunatics being propped up as tokens by those who seek our destruction.
Who is "our"?
And blue avs would pitch a fit if someone called Clarence Thomas or Byron Donalds a token. Rightfully so! That's scummy as hell. No different here, you have to fall back on insults because your case is weak.
If they said it in those words, yes, but observing that Clarence Thomas seems weirdly hostile to the political and economic interests of his traditionally disfavored racial/ethnic group is not novel or unusual on this forum at all.
Do you think the Jewish student protesters are hurting "normie" American Jews?
Also, I would say Jewish people have not really ever been disfavored in the New World, but especially not in America, which has been great to us. So perhaps it wasn't the best example for me to use either.
1. Yes, absolutely.
2. Re: The second paragraph: Imagine actually believing this
Jewish people have thrived in America for centuries. I genuinely don't know how you could think otherwise. Especially if we are comparing the Jewish American experience to the Black American experience. I think the latter has a history that is just slightly short of infinitely more traumatic.
Why compare it to anti-black racism like it's a competition? Antisemitism is still a serious issue, regardless of your beliefs on Israel. Hate crime statistics highlight it and the online abuse has always been terrible. And that's ignoring the deluge of conspiracies, which are somewhat a result of these successes we've enjoyed in this country.
Antisemitism is unique because those who perpetrate it believe they're punching up, thus justifying their hatred. Just because you personally haven't experienced it, doesn't mean it's not a major problem.
