   The folks, here on the fediverse, who malign those of us that speak up for the human rights of Palestinians and against Israel’s ongoing genocide, who label us “antisemitic” for rejecting the antisemitic conflation of complicity in genocide with being Jewish, those folks aren’t just expressing a difference of opinion… beyond engaging in genocide denial (and thus being complicit in genocide), they aim to silence us and, ideally, ensure that we, like the Palestinian people, no longer exist.

   So when you express neutrality, or when you harbour these people on your fediverse servers, understand what you, yourself, are complicit in.

     @aral I'm Jewish, I have family in Israel and I lived with my partner in Tel Aviv for 3 months, a decade ago. But I'm outraged at the atrocities Israel has been committing and I'm infuriated both by people who conflate opposition to Israel with antisemitism, as well as those who use hatred of Israel as a justification for actual antisemitic acts. Being Jewish and a supporter of Israel are not the same thing. And I see it as the duty of Jewish people everywhere to stand against genocide.
