    Jewish people and groups around the world need to issue strong rejection of Israel’s actions.

    If they don’t, i’m very concerned that Israel’s crimes will fall back on them in the future.

      Let’s look at sentiment from different groups

      Young and liberal associate them with Israeli genocide.

      Young and conservative is full of full on Nazis.

      Politically they aren’t worth much being concentrated in liberal strongholds.

      When the old folks who are pro Israel go into the grounds dislike will be a rare point of agreement. Not a great position.

        It will protect them from the free palestine crowd, but not from anti-semites. Is there a downside though?

            I’m sure contains, though I doubt there’s a complete overlap, not covers for. People who want a literal genocide to end aren’t automatically antisemites or antisemite apologists. Nor are antisemites, especially Trumper antisemites, automatically in favor of Palestine.

            Well yeah, obviously. There are anti-semites everywhere. I meant those whose motivations are “free palestine,” which in my estimate is the main motivation of the free palestine crowd when viewed as a whole – not antisemitism. I don’t mean to say that there don’t exist people who are aligned with free-palestine just because they’re anti-semitic. But there’s no protection from those people either way – so, no downside.
