The fact that virtually all Jews and Jewish spaces are Zionist and support the existence of Israel is an indictment of us as a morally bankrupt people.

This is the treatment of the diaspora as all exactly the same that feels antisemitic in the way it's presented. I appreciate the dialectical analysis that the Jewish cultural establishment is doing nothing to reduce its support of Israel. But she goes over the top in parts of the discussion and crosses a line, in my opinion.

She literally calls the entirety of Judaism morally bankrupt.

So can you describe to me the Judaism you're talking about that isn't the cause, justification, and driving force of a genocide? Or how genocide isn't morally bankrupt? What exactly are you arguing?

Sorry, it appears you are also conflating Jewish people and Israel. Yes, the article describes how the majority of Jewish organizations do support this system. But saying an entire race of people is morally bankrupt is a bit over the edge for me.

I think you feel strongly about this and I don't appreciate your aggression. I am suggesting that this author goes over the antisemitism line here, which I'm not wrong about.

Uh, no, the quote was about Judaism, not an entire race of people. Again, which Judaism are you saying it's wrong to call morally bankrupt? What are you actually saying?

There was no aggression in my comment. I just asked you for any clarification whatsoever, any positive claim, and all you did, again, is say nothing at all.

which I'm not wrong about

You are.

Look, I don't feel that strongly about this - I just think it's a particularly bad look for hexbear to support an antisemitic viewpoint.
