        The fuck are you on?

        Which side of the political aisle has the most Nazis? How about white supremacists? What about conspiracy theorists? Racists? Fascists? Christian Nationalists? Xenophobes?

        And then explain how “most of the left” are antisemitic.

        Lol. No, in most of the left’s case, it’s neither. Allow me to introduce you to a brand-new word: Nuance

        You see, people on the left are capable of recognizing multiple things about the events in the Middle East:

        • Israel has a conservative, reactionary government right now.
        • That government has a history of oppressing Palestinians.
        • That is bad.
        • That also has nothing to do with them being Jewish.
        • Gaza’s de facto leadership is a terrorist organization called Hamas.
        • Hamas intentionally targeted innocent civilian Israelis for slaughter.
        • That is bad.
        • That also has nothing to do with them being Muslim.
        • Israel’s government is retaliating by essentially leveling Gaza and causing a humanitarian catastrophe.
        • That is bad.
        • Hamas is responding by using hospitals as bases of operation and taking hostages to use as human shields.
        • That is bad.
        • The whole thing is a complicated clusterfuck, with civilians on both sides suffering the worst of it.

        Is all of that clear?

    This can’t be real. There can’t possibly be a human being that earnestly thinks pro-Palestine = pro-Hamas.

    The only people that claim “antisemitism” when people speak against Israel (as a government entity) are Zionists. The author can go fuck themselves.

    What a dumb op ed and poor translation. Between taking about Marx and astute insights like

    los movimientos “progres” (“woke” en inglés)

    In the original is a real joke.
