Not to be super technical but "most" is not the same as "all".

Power says "God" when it wants a gun cleaned. Blaming religion is just lazy analysis with a side of bigotry.

Maybe other Jews in your community see you for an antisemite and avoid you.

Ah, so now we’ve moved from antisemitism to full-on religious bigotry. Great.

I'm an atheist too. Demanding that Jews stop being Jews because some weaponize religion? That’s not liberation it's bigotry. The problem isn’t religion. It’s how power uses it. Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Shintoists: all have texts that have been twisted to justify violence. That doesn’t make faith itself the enemy.

Palestinians need solidarity, not purity tests. Antisemitism, religious or otherwise, only strengthens Zionism. Want to help? Fight oppression, don’t become its mirror.

And spewing antisemitic vomit helps what exactly? Hating random Jewish people living in the US, Canada, France, Greece, wherever helps what exactly?

I will tell you what it helps. Antisemitism helps the Jewish Agency for Israel make the case that Jews cannot be safe unless they go colonize Palestine. Do you want to help Palestine? Protect the Jews in the country you live in. Every Jew that feels safe and happy in the diaspora is one less potential colonist in Palestine. Every thriving Jewish diaspora community is one more place that entices Israeli Jews away from the nightmare that is the Israeli apartheid.

Antisemitism is the enemy of Palestinian liberation. And is gross regardless. Period.

How about stfu. Palestine doesn't need antisemitic "friends" like this.

First they ignore you,

then they laugh at you,

then they fight you, <-- you are here

then you win.

Only an idiot or an antisemitic asshole uses "Jews" as a stand in for "Israelis".

Incomplete. The full phrase is actually:

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

(The buffalo from Buffalo that buffalo (i.e. bully) buffaloes from Buffalo, buffalo (i.e., bully) buffaloes from Buffalo.)

Quebec Solidaire is not a provincial NDP party.

Sir, we call that a "nation building project" around here.

Canadian electricity price going up in 3... 2... 1...

Invest in companies making filling materials 🤡

No sir, "nation building" means pipelines.

So what?

Profitable? Why is that a consideration?

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. When the time comes to dismantle the Jewish character of Israel to establish the successor post-apartheid democratic "State of Israel and Palestine", I hope the zionists remember that it was they who killed the Two State Solution.

He couldn't last a blackout from major media for a day because his RATINGS would drop. It's Trump. Without TV he's nothing.

So what we won't be getting direct access to Trump's asshole of a mouth 24-7? Trump needs the spotlight more than we do. If the media networks actually collaborate to ensure journalistic standards, what's he going to do? Lose the coverage? Media need to do they fucking job or US democracy is done.
