The anti zionists dehumanize the Gazans more than anyone. They don’t listen to what Gazans say, hide their eyes from the actions they take, don’t give them credit for their own agency, and get high with every ounce of evidence of proof that Gazans are victims while denying the reality of the fact that Gaza spent 15 years creating a terror city-state. It’s absurd.

Yup. Another term for it is "infantilization."

Hallper and Finkelstein and others with the same views are self hating Jews with zero factual information and knowledge in support of their views

Those who so aggressive advocate for Israel to expand “from the river to the sea” by absorbing Judea, Samaria, East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights and Gaza into the country are the ultimate self-hating Zionists. Because Jews will be in the minority in that country and Israel inevitably will be a state of all its people rather than a Jewish state. As we saw in South Africa, Bantustans, ethnic cleansing and apartheid cannot stand the test of time.

The objective of the US, where it’s charitable ward up is concerned, must be to promote one man/woman equal rights democracy.

With Christian and Muslim indigenous Palestinians in the majority, I’m sure that Israel’s controversial nation-state bill that declared that Jews alone can “exercise national self determination” will be quickly overturned so that everyone under the dominion of the expanded state, whatever it might be called (Palesrael?), will be truly equal under the law, irrespective of tribe, religion or ethnicity. Hopefully the Rwanda-style Hutus vs Tutsis tribal violence can end.

One can’t help but wonder what those who so strongly favor Israel being an ethnic-nationalist state where Jews always have legal supremacy are thinking as they so aggressively push for the from the river to the sea outcome?

I took a look at Katie Halper's Substack. What a nutcase. Her reading list is all overt Jew-haters and antisemites (Chris Hedges, Caitlin Johnstone, Scott Ritter, Mehdi Hasan, etc.). What a vile, self-hating cretin she is.

For someone from such an advantaged background (Ivy League prep schools in Manhattan, elite private liberal arts college, lots of connections in media, etc.), you would think Katie wouldn't be the vile human she is.

Thanks for doing this, you must have a very strong stomach.

The mother hens of Social Justice just want the Wretched of the Earth Victims du jour to feel warm, safe and fully protected—even if it means they have to be smothered with concern past recognition, with their own ideas, motives and acts blotted out by a preening sentimental humanism.

Anyone can love their own people, country, faith and murder victims, but they love the people who hate and want to murder them! They are obviously morally and intellectually superior to the rest of us and will go far in the liberal West, where the must-have accessory for all ambitious Jews is a heavy dose of self-hatred.

Katie Halper is the "As A Jew" Queen. The Queen hath no need for editors, sirrah! Back when I identified as an antizionist, she gave us constant reassurance that it was righteous and loving to side with the mortal enemies of Israel and Jewish people. Oppressor/oppressed argumentum ad simplicitatem.

Fun fact: She showed up in my Facebook Dating carousel, back when I was on the dating apps. I swiped right, but I never heard back. Ah well!

She's a prime example of what happens when political discourse becomes all ideological abstraction and irrational passions with no awareness or interest in human or practical realities.

It’s always useful to recall this quote by the great Peter Beinart, the Jewish commentator and New York Times columnist (a subscription to Beinart on Substack is worth its weight in gold.):

“Israel’s political system is explicitly based on religion and ethnicity. Its controversial 2018 nation-state bill declares that Jews alone can “exercise national self-determination.” Most of the Palestinians under Israeli control (those in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip) can’t become citizens of the state that dominates their lives. A minority of Palestinians, (those who live within Israel’s 1967 borders) do enjoy citizenship and the right to vote. But when Arab Israeli politicians advanced a bill that would have made legal equality between Arab and Jewish citizens a foundation of Israeli law in 2018, the speaker of Israel’s Parliament refused to allow a vote on it because it would “gnaw at the foundations of the state.””
