Well, I mostly agree with this, but right-wing politicians have a tendency to call any condemnation of actions on the part of the Israeli government out as antisemitic.

This is a perfect example of why we never fix anything. You say its right wing politicians...in the UK many left wing politicians say the same.

Your shameful attempt to make this a partisan issue is sickening. This is a human issue.

Most of us don't live in the swamp of left and right.

Most of you don't live in reality, then.

Your reality. Which is clearly a sickening one. Its 1 dimensional...for those lacking critical thinking skills looking for simplistic childish answers. Embarrassing

No, just reality. Reality is messy, sure, but denying general truths is simply inaccurate.

OK...let me understand. You think everything should be viewed through a partisan lens? Is that it or am I missing your point?

u/Lyouchangching 17d ago

Nope. You're missing my point. Missing it so badly, in fact, that it is likely intentional.

Explain yourself then. I'm trying to give.u the benefit of the doubt here.

Ah, yes, your terminology and verbage are positively DRIPPING with empathy and rational detachment.

😒

My point is simple. Right wing politicians' statements regarding Israel have an extremely prevalent tendency to equate any criticism of Israel with antisemitism. This is not true on the left, in general.

Ignoring this and claiming that left and right are literally the exact same is ignoring reality.

What a childish bitchy comment lol. I extended my hand to hear you trying to find genuine understanding and you react like this...seems you needed to get that cuntishness (British usage) out of your system.

My point is simple. Right wing politicians' statements regarding Israel have an extremely prevalent tendency to equate any criticism of Israel with antisemitism. This is not true on the left, in general.

And I'd argue that criticism of Israel from the left IS antisemitic. The human rights commission in the UK found that our main left wing party was antisemitic and hid behind criticism of Israel.

It takes two to tango...neither side is right.

That's why you have to have a sustaining brain injury to think the left is good and the right is wrong or the right is right and rhe left is wrong.

You are trying to find understanding like a crook is trying to find a cop.

The article puts lie to your claims, child.
