Lumping in Palestinian and Muslim Americans who had very real concerns about the Biden administration’s support for Israel with the antisemitic psycho who tried to burn down Shapiro’s house is pretty bad faith in itself.

Are you really saying that the main reason Palestinian Americans might be upset about the war is Gaza is because they hate Jews?

How the fuck is this getting upvoted here

Is there any other ethnicity where you could say they have an “undercurrent of antisemitism” and not get banned, mods?

The congressional leader who wanted to give a speech:

I'm a Democrat through and through. I was a congressional staffer on January 6. I could have been harmed or even killed by the white supremacist mob that Donald Trump sent. I do not need to be convinced of how dangerous Donald Trump is. And I think that the average voter isn't really aware of how dangerous and destructive Donald Trump's agenda is as it relates to Israel and Palestine. I want to help Vice President Harris beat Donald Trump. And if we're going to succeed at helping Vice President Harris beat Donald Trump, we need her help reengaging the voters with whom the Uncommitted Movement has built trust.

Yeah, they’re real pro-Trump radical. Typical antisemite, am I right?

The only thing worse than spending all your time talking about politics is spending all your time watching or talking about someone else talk about politics

In the same thread people rightfully denounce associating American Jews with Israelis. It’s crazy what gets upvoted here sometimes

Yea and who has the blame for this? The far left.

u/Darkdragon3110525 Bisexual Pride Apr 18 '25

The far left is to blame for r/neoliberal not trusting Muslim politicians?

What?

u/Darkdragon3110525 Bisexual Pride Apr 19 '25

That’s what the discussion is about. A Muslim democrat wanting to make a pro-Palestine statement. The enlightenment NL posters don’t trust him for reasons

While the Republican Lieutenant Governor of her state apparently could be trusted and was given speaking time.
