It's all fun and games until you start promoting antisemitic myths, @NBCSNL. Every Israeli citizen—Jewish and Arab, Muslim, Christian, of any or no faith—is eligible to be vaccinated; 2/3 of Israel's Arab citizens over 60 already have been. Apologize.

I hear you and I basically agree. But I still cringed. Anti-Semitism is on the rise today, in the United States and globally, and certain tropes are very dangerous. But I get it.

this isn't that. they don't get to use antisemitism as a shield against legitimate criticism. They don't get to do that.

Then you don’t get to say that any time we say that something is anti-Semitic that that’s just what we always say anytime you criticize Israel. The two are distinctly different things. I’ll make the distinction if you will.

there's actual antisemitism and then there's "dangerous tropes" which these days are invariably criticisms of the brutality and injustice of the Israeli state

Do you cringe at the footage of IDF soldiers using force to enable expansion through settlements?

This is disappointing from you Marianne. I was starting to believe you were one of the good ones. Do you not know the atrocities Israel is committing? They are bombing Palestinian children and hospitals for fucks sake.

What would be an appropriate way to discuss the violent occupation of Palestine and the atrocities routinely carried out on their people without being labeled an anti-Semite?

But he didn’t say any trope. Israel is literally a Jewish state. AND the government and laws keep Jews at the top economically, socially, and politically. Saying that doesn’t fit the trope that Jews control things and pull strings globally. Because this is specific to Israel

They’re withholding the vaccine from Palestinians, Marianne. Stating that fact, even in joke form, isn’t anti-Semitic

Israel shirked its obligations under the 4th Geneva Convention to vaccinate the 5 million Palestinians under its control in the West Bank and Gaza. It deliberately ignored this population, reinforcing its apartheid rule.
