   Really fucking annoying that the far right explains what’s happening in Israel as Jews controlling Biden and the far left explains it as Biden being controlled by Jews. It’s all just antisemitism.

   And neither side will acknowledge reality: Bibi is an insane war criminal. Israel is not an American colony, it’s a nation that Biden has no control of. It’s completely arrogant and wrong to think either man can control what the other does, or that the Jewish people have any say over any of it.

     @fraying Last sentence: maybe, maybe not. But I still want to see what Bibi does if the US actually cuts off all military aid.

     Biden certainly doesn't control Israel or vice versa; but he could be doing a lot less genocide enablement than he is. If only.

     @garbados If you haven't bumped into antisemitism of the "Jews secretly control the world" variety on the left, I'm happy for you, but I have. A lot.

     @fraying @garbados Yeah, this is *literally* the stated premise of a “pro-Palestine” protest that’s been held outside a synagogue in my extremely progressive town every week for 20 years. They have signs that verbatim read
     “Resist Jewish power.”

     @garbados If you really haven't seen "Israel is controlling the US" from lefties, then yeah, you probably are.

     @garbados Everyone raised in America has absorbed some amount of unconscious antisemitism. Some people just haven't noticed yet.

     @fraying that's constitutionally incompatible with basically every definition of "left" i've encountered. like "national socialism is lefty actually" level discourse

     If you read this as a leftie and feel defensive, I'm only asking you to not be antisemitic when you criticize Israel. That's it. You can do it. I know you can. If I can do it as a Jewish leftie, you can fucking handle it. And if you can't, that's a you problem, and I don't need to hear about it. Thanks.
