Snappy smackdowns of antisemitism and anti-Zionism from a progressive, gay, (non-Jewish) Canadian perspective. If you @ me, expect snark. Brilliant on Substack: pat604johnson.substack.com

A small group of queer quislings are infecting the gay rights movement with an ideology that harms LGBTQ+ people everywhere.

ZOMBIE PROGRESSIVES DEFILE OUR VALUES RESPONSES TO THE LATEST TRAGEDY REMIND US THAT PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO SHARE OUR VALUES DON’T.

If Palestinianism betrays everything else we claim to believe inβ€Šβ€”β€Šand, at the same time, doesn’t helpβ€Šβ€”β€Šbut actually harmsβ€Šβ€”β€ŠPalestinians themselves, then who the hell does it benefit?

We know we will not complete the work of defeating antisemitism. Accept that. And now redouble our efforts to control its virulence and its spread.

4 EXPLANATIONS FOR ANTISEMITISM’S TENACITY IF PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR A REPETITION OF GENOCIDE, WHY DON’T THEY ACT LIKE IT?

Why are people who believe a genocide is possible not doing more to prevent one?

INVERTING ANTISEMITISM AND ANTI-ZIONISM Why don’t activists see that inflammatory anti-Israel rhetoric leads to violence against Jews? They do. That’s the point.

DISCLAIMER: TIME FOR ZIONISTS TO MAKE SOME DEMANDS HOW HAVE PRO-ISRAEL PEOPLE ALLOWED OURSELVES TO BE PUT ON THE DEFENSIVE?

If people want us to take seriously their criticisms of Israel, they have an obligation to acknowledge the role bigotry plays in this discussion.

JOIN THE RESISTANCE! PALESTINIANS AND OVERSEAS ALLIES JUSTIFY ATROCITIES BY CLAIMING β€œRESISTANCE” TO TYRANNY. BUT WHEN YOU START THE CONFLICT AND PERPETUATE IT, YOU DON’T GET TO GET TO CLAIM β€œRESISTANCE” TO ANYTHING.

The use of the term β€œresistance” implies their behavior is defensive. It’s not. Their side started this conflict, perpetuates it, and could end it today. The Palestinians are the only ones who can make peace because they are the only ones making war.

YOUR UNHINGED HYSTERIA ISN’T HELPING PALESTINIANS SELF-RIGHTEOUS ACTIVISTS IMAGINE THEMSELVES THE GREAT SAVIORS OF THE DOWNTRODDEN. IN REALITY, THEY ARE THE REASON PALESTINIANS ARE DYING.

They scream obscenities at us as we quietly mourn dead Jews and urge peace for everyone in the region. That’s not normal. That’s not political commentary. It’s verging on mental illness. #Israel #Palestine #activism #gaza

β€œBaiting” is not an act that is necessarily perpetrated with great malice but is more a form of sick entertainment, like picking wings off flies not because you have a deep ideological hostility to flies but simply because you can.

FAN FAVE #4: PERFORMATIVE PACIFISM: IN THE NAME OF PEACE, KILL THE JEWS ICYMI: An underlying premise of the anti-Israel narrative is that, if Jews would just go like lambs to the slaughter, there would be no more war.
