Critics of Israel’s merciless war on Gaza are facing threats of government prosecution and blacklists or firings. In this neo-McCarthyist environment, anything pro-Palestine is being made to carry the whiff of bigotry or even incitement to violence.

    Nah that’s perfectly consistent behavior for fascists. And the only one besides the fascists that are likely to flip. Are wealthy Democrats who in serving themselves also tend to serve the wealthy fascists. They’re highly adjacent and only make up a narrow part of the spectrum and all largely right wing.

        I think it’s important to distinguish that there are pro Palestinian views. And pro hamas views. And they are not the same. Personally, as a leftist. I’m not concerned about hate groups like Hamas, Republicans etc not being tolerated. I’m not alone and we’re pretty consistent about it.

        I tolerate those who are tolerant. That said if people crack down on pro Palestinian protesters. Misrepresenting them as pro Hamas. Any rational person should be pissed about that. And it won’t be flip-floping. We know it’s going to happen regardless. Criticism of the Israeli government is wrongly treated as antisemitism.
