@ildottore it was definitely just like "as you idiots obviously can't see, Islam is right and the jews should never have been given a chance, Muslims will reign supreme"

@ildottore I was surprised reading it after so many young folks and leftists on tiktok were talking about how we should all read it
I mean it was like interesting to see that he was talking about Palestine and that's cool and all but I could definitely pick up on the antisemitism and Muslim supremacy, it was like reading an ITS Communique

@eris There were actual points about US imperialism and hypocrisy in there, so it's not purely theological supremacy. But it was very baked in "and the solution to this is theocracy" and also specifically singling out Judaism
Also this kind of antisemitism (and homophobia) isn't exclusive to Muslim groups. A lot of secular radicals also have problems like that (like the FLQ if I remember right)

@eris If the options presented to young people these days are either uncritical support of empire and support for the war machine, or a leftism that involves blaming Jews, I think we're doomed
