New York City Mayor Eric Adams condemns ‘pure antisemitism’ outside Oct. 7 memorial
...blasted those who held up Hezbollah and Hamas flags, both considered terrorist organizations by the United States, as well as protesters who carried a banner saying, “Long live October 7th.”
...one protester said he wished Adolf Hitler “was still here” because “he would’ve wiped all you out.”
“You do not call for peace and then come to a memorial site,”
Fuck off Pepe Frogface. If the Palestinians could have lived in peace none of this would ever have happened.
That in no way excuses people saying they wished Hitler was still around so he could have wiped out all Jews.
Just FYI: Jew and Israeli are not synonyms.
It’s really aggravating and sad that people just don’t have the capacity for anything resembling nuance anymore. And this isn’t even nuance. It’s basic recognition of who is what. There is no difference between anti-genocide people hating Jews and a white person getting robbed by a person of color and turning against the entire race. This is the type of shit that makes me think all hope is lost. We can’t even have a discussion anymore without having to take time to separate out these people and explain to them what’s wrong with their position. And that conversation never goes easy and never gets anywhere. And then the entire movement is derailed. Or taken over by them.
I mean that's a straw man argument, op didn't state any opinion on Hitler their affirmation.
I think another thing to keep in mind is that neoliberal news will amplify any behaviour they see that can be interpreted as antisemitism. We already have several examples of things like this being attributed to protestors when in reality it was a counter protestor or agent provokeruer.
I don't think any person who actually cares about preventing a genocide is a supporter of the most well know orchestrator of genocide.
I condemn pure idiocy from a man who I honestly think is potentially learning disabled and/or suffering from mental health issues. You know it's bad when Curtis Sliwa would have been the MORE sane/intelligent pick for mayor.
