I got in an argument with my mother a few years ago about support for Palestine / criticism of Israel. Her argument was basically “we just can’t tell apart the antisemites from the legitimate support so we just shouldn’t have a movement.” It makes me think that the Washington Post decides to write about posts like this every once and awhile and actually write things like that. “but sorry the whole movement is antisemitic” and that’s where we get that absolutely fucking insane argument from.
Unfortunately we can’t tell the people pushing for genocide in Gaza apart from the people who just believe Israel is allowed to defend itself, so we shouldn’t have an Israel

“we can’t tell the difference…”
And how is that the problem of the people trying to stop a genocide?
