    Based on what I can tell antizionism might be reaching “historic levels” though. They arrested hundreds of activists from Jewish Voice for Peace out of the thousands that showed up to protest just a day or two ago. 20.000 people protested for Palestine in SF. The streets were filled in NY, Chicago, Washington, etc. I don’t know if there’s ever been this much pushback against the occupation in the US, so I’d be willing to believe antizionism might be reaching historic levels. Maybe the dude conveniently got his words mixed up.

      I think we’re seeing people getting pissed about innocent people dying everywhere, and leaders are tripping over themselves justifying it for those they’re allied with.

      What does Israel have that requires the western countries to look the other way at this shit when they’re appearing to stand up against it elsewhere.

      I don’t think the West is standing up against it anywhere, it’s just a convenient political rally cry for whatever agenda you have and people will continue to die.
