    When the headline is about people being pro-Palestine, why do you immediately jump to the assumption that the people in question are being antisemitic?

    You sound like the kind of person who’s causing people to be fired for opposing genocide.

      I mean thanks for proving my point. It’s just such an insanity inducing topic that no one can have a conversation about it.

        You literally jumped straight to ‘death to the jews’ and ‘well, both sides.’ You don’t get to complain about people ‘proving your point’ that ‘we can’t have a conversation about this.’ You weren’t having a conversation, you were erecting a strawman.

        There’s four sides. HAMAS, Israel’s government, the average Palestinian, and the average Israeli.

          Seems like you’re the one flirting with a little anti semitism. We’ll why can’t I just hate the jews just a little bit!

          Its not a straw man if people are literally saying death to jews. Yeah not everyone. But there’s plenty of other speech that’s in the same realm of death to jews that people are facing consequences for, and also people who simply condemned the Jewish response and also got fired. Obviously one deserves it, the other does not.

          There are a lot of people out there calling Hamas “freedom fighters”, and calling the 10/7 attacks “resistance”. It’s not really a straw man. Expressing these kinds of violent opinions comes with deserved consequences, and when these people do fuck around and find out, I expect to see plenty of “because I was pro-Palestine” crocodile tears.
