In reply to the discussion: Schumer Condemns Antisemitism, Warning the Left Against Abetting It [View all]Mad_Machine76
(24,466 posts)47. You hit all of the right beats for me
Criticizing Israel's government for its actions against Palestinian CIVILIANS does NOT equal the following things:
1. We don't care about Israelis
2. We don't care about 10/7 and the victims of that day
3. We support Hamas
4. We are anti-Semitic or hate Jewish people or want to see them mistreated
I hate that we just keep going through this big song and dance all the time when it comes to being critical of certain aspects of Israeli policy towards Palestinians or of Netanyahu. Just like with our own country, we can be critical of our own country and still love it and want to defend it.

"By the way, Hamas is a terrible terrorist group, but they are NOT the same as Hitler and the Nazis."

I believe former President George W. Bush put it best when he said a little over twenty years ago.

That doesn't remove from us our free will, nor the consequences of our behavior.
