Stop Conflating Israel With Judaism!


Ignore the noise.

Vote.

Vote to save democracy.

Reject anti-semitism and Islamophobia.

Free Palestine.

In the wake of Ye, Washed Up 45 and the noise. I want to clear up a common tactic used by the noise.

Silence criticism of Israel. 

I strongly believe Israel should be held for war crimes against the Palestinian people. I do not support this notion that criticism of Israel is anti-semitic. I believe its a deflection by the pro-Israeli lobbyists and American lawmakers to stifle criticism and attempts to pressure world leaders to sanction the country.

For those who attack Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Marc Lamont Hill, Mehdi Hassan, Ayman Moyhadian, Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) and others because of criticism of Israel are either racist, Islamophobia or supporters of genocide.

I am also calling out Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH). 

She needs to abandon the notion that Israel is always right. 

Yeah, I dare you call me anti-semitic!

I have no hatred of race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, disability and cultural standings.

However, I do not like misinformation, gaslighting, relentless finger pointing and painting critics of majority as the other. 

Israel is a foreign country and is no different than Russia, Iran, North Korea, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, Egypt, Great Britain, Mexico, Guatemala, Venezuela and Nicaragua.

Fascists believe in ethnocentric religious governments.

Zionism is not Judaism. It is a nationalist philosophy that states the rightful settlers have sole autonomy to the land of the Holy.  

Proponents of Zionism note Zionism's success in establishing a Jewish state in the region of Palestine, today Israel, and seek to portray anti-Zionism as broad opposition to Israel and a Jewish presence in the region. Supporters of Zionism have frequently highlighted that Anti-Zionist views are expressed by some antisemites, just as pro-Zionist views are expressed by other antisemites. The relationship between anti-Zionism, pro-Zionism and antisemitism is debated, with some academics and organizations that study antisemitism taking the view that anti-Zionism is inherently antisemitic or new antisemitism, while others reject any such linkage as unfounded and a method to stifle criticism of Israel and its policies, including in its occupation of the West Bank.
