Oh yea, there’s a lot of garbage nonsense out there weaponizing laws against pro-Palestinian protestors, but this guy was super irresponsible. He claims that Israel is colonizing the minds of the western and European governments, that (all) Jews who sort Israel support Israel’s genocide, etc., etc. very stupid and irresponsible. Being Jewish and Israeli doesn’t make his speech any less incendiary. Very hard to tell if this is the speech of a leftist or a nazi. Brought it on himself, and I say this as someone fully in the free Palestine camp.
Completely disagree. I think the things he said were pretty factually defensible and the fact he was in the IDF and his parents in the Holocaust gives him a unique perspective. Absolutely nothing worthy of being arrested. Here is a video of the speech for people to decide for themselves.
The video is already linked in the comments I’m replying to :p
He claims that the majority of Jews in the world are “not real Jews”, and “supporting genocide”. I can’t imagine a more dangerous thing to say, and it’s indistinguishable from antisemitism.
I understand the context in which he places these statements, but IMO it’s not great. Israel needs to be made a pariah, and held to account for its crimes, but that’s not what this rhetoric advances.
but most Jews support Israel. he's just stating well known facts. I'm going to take the word of someone who grew up in Israel, had 2 parents that lived in concentration camps. served in the IDF. and has studied Zionism his entire adult life over some simpleton on Reddit that can't tell the difference between stating facts and terrorism apparently.
