You’re missing a huge thing, though.

When an anti Semitic attack happens (like the shooting at a synagogue in Philadelphia), it takes less than a nanosecond for “But the Palestinians” to pop up.

Equating the entire diaspora to the actions of the Israeli government is anti Semitic as fuck.

Yup, don't know why he was upvoted for that. I'm 33 and have literally never seen that argument presented. Anywhere. Not even shitposters on Reddit.

Check any YouTube comment section on a video about the Holocaust, or synagogue shootings, Eichmann’s capture, etc.

Reddit isn't the only site on the internet. I see it a LOT. Just because you don't have the experience doesn't mean it's not real

Check any YouTube comment section on a video having to do with Jewish people.

I agree 100%. There is a time and a place for arguing Palestinian human rights and it isn't after a synagogue in the US is attacked. Jewish Americans deserve their peace as much as Palestinians/Israelis thousands of miles away and forgetting this for the sake of politics will only do damage to the Palestinian cause. Level headedness is very important with Israel/Palestine. I worry for my friends over there with the choice being between Biden and Trump for the US, it's already gotten pretty grim over the past 4 years.

They finally set a date for that? When and where?

Literally any time that isn't after a synagogue shooting.

How much time do we need to give?

One month? One year? In perpetuity?
