    Yeah no shit and not that it matters that much at this point but:

    All Israelis, like this asshole, that have been so adamant that Israel isn’t committing genocide even though it’s blasting little children to bits for fun on a daily basis are also responsible for the extreme rise of anti semitism.

    You actively made this world a more dangerous place for your fellow countrymen. Congratulations on the hard work 🎉

      All Israelis like this asshole…

      You actively made this world a more dangerous place for your fellow countrymen.

      This guy is American, not Israeli as far as I know.

      You should put a comma after ‘Israelies’ in your second paragraph. It currently says that every Israeli likes him.

      Not really. There is no greater good, morality or weighing of facts going on here. It is pure calculus of self interest.

      He is a shit person, coming to self-serving conclusions for shit reasons.

      If by circumstance he came to the right conclusion only because his arm was twisted, it could be asserted that he is a self-serving shit who doesn’t deserve the arm.

        Any evidence for this being purely self interest? You gave none but you truly seem to hate the guy, I see.

          Days after rejecting the claim that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza…

          There was no compelling evidence breakthrough over the last few days that could make any reasonable, morally grounded, ethical person come to this conclusion at this time. Even a casually disinterested person could tell it was genocide a long time ago. That he didn’t, says everything. We see this pattern over and over with people who score high on dark triad traits.

          Edit:

          “Until now, I have tried to deflect and defend when challenged to call this genocide,” he wrote. “I have, however, been persuaded rationally by legal and scholarly arguments that international courts will one day find that Israel has broken the international genocide convention.”

          He says it himself. It’s not the actions of genocide, not the suffering of Gazans, its his conclusion that courts will condemn Isreal’s action as genocide and that is the self serving calculus he wants to be on the right side of.

            Ok fair enough. At least he finally got to the right conclusion, even if for a selfish reason

      Yeah I don’t understand how people don’t know how not new this is. I follow them because they’re the voice of reason in the Jewish community.

    There’s a slant in this somewhere. If it sways people in the right direction, I’ll take it, but I’m sure another shoe will drop.

      My guess: They’re trying to whitewash Zionism and make Netanyahu take the fall to protect the general Zionist apparatus. See also: “It’s only the government y’all the people are nice and don’t want to genocide Gazans I swear”.
