Things America's far right and far left actually agree on?

Do you mean Jew-hatred like it is displayed by Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, The Red Cross, a number of UN organizations and countries that have decided to regognize the Palestinian state? Please be more specific.

I was referring more to the keyboard warriors online and entitled college kids with a white savior complex calling for the destruction of Israel and the US while occasionally holding up a sign during protests that say "Hitler was right!! !! !"

And don't get me started on the LGBTQ community throwing it's support behind a culture that regularly persecutes and executes us.

Sorry but as a gay man I know which side of the bread my butter is on. It's not the Jews who are beheading homosexuals or subjecting them to public beatings before a jeering crowd taking snapshots with their smart phones.

No, the Israelis are killing as many as possible in Gaza regardless of age, gender or sexual orientation while preventing any attemp to supply any survivors with bread or butter.

I think you completely missed my point (probably on purpose I'll bet). My problem isn't with people having problems with the Israeli government committing obvious war crimes and genocide, my problem is with Leftists acting like the moral police entitled to pass judgement on this crisis and making anti-Jew hatred a popular 'thing' again.

I can't stand moral hypocrites. End of story.

The vast majority of protesters against the genocide in Gaza do not hold up signs saying "Hitler was right!! ! ! !" and would certainly not approve of anyone holding up such a sign.


Defending a people's right not to be slaughtered, and their right not to be displaced from land that their ancestors have lived on for generations, is NOT the same thing as endorsing every aspect of their culture.


Unfortunately the greater acceptance of LGBTQ+ people in Israel is unlikely to last much longer, if current demographic trends continue. Israel is becoming more and more dominated by the ultra-Orthodox, many of whom believe they have a religious obligation to have as many babies as they possibly can, and who hence are rapidly growing as a portion of the population.

On the other hand, it seems to me that the religious fanaticism common among Palestinian Muslims these days is largely born of desperation, due to Israel's treatment of Palestinians. Before the 1970's or so, most Palestinians -- and especially their leadership -- were NOT religious fanatics. They became more and more religiously fanatical because organized religion helps people survive a desperate situation (and also because, decades ago, Israel covertly aided groups like Hamas in an attempt to divide Palestinians from their then-secular mainstream leadership). If the desperate situation of Palestinians were ever to be resolved, their culture would likely start evolving (albeit slowly) in a less religious direction, as Ireland did over the past century.

Can you point to any specific examples of what you mean by leftists promoting anti-Jew hatred?

As far as I can tell, leftists generally do NOT promote anti-Jew hatred.

Or do you interpret all anti-Zionism as "anti-Jew hatred"?
