"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

I mean, that's page five news. The headline here is in his haste to...what are the kids calling it now? "Meme magic" or whatever, he's cast himself as Thanos literally moments before Thanos is defeated and his hubris at underestimating his opponents does him in. Oh, and of course, Thanos is a genocidal maniac.

Like, okay...they like being 'the bad guy' (obligatory 'duh'). Then do the one from Infinity War, have Pelosi throw "impeachment" at him and he says "You should have aimed for the head" and snaps. Thanos at least won that movie and the Avengers had to go through a lot of shit to undo it. You know what? It even took five years. Enough for a second term. But he...well, not 'he', I don't think Trump even knows who Thanos is, but one of his sycophantic meme generating minions instead chooses the worst possible moment to 'be' Thanos in the Infinity Saga.

It is to laugh is all.

This will essentially allow them to declare that criticism of Israel violates the civil rights of all Jews...regardless of whether they're actually Israeli or not.

As I said, it would bring up some interesting conflicts of interest as Ivanka and Jared would effectively be foreign nationals holding high positions in the U.S. government.

I doubt it'll actually work like that.

Of course not. It'll only work in the ways it needs to to ban criticism of Israel.

Given how boycotts are for the most part historically ineffective, this snowflake fear and loathing of BDS is like an attempt to hype it up for the public.

Honestly, Trump is taking proactive steps to more concretely incorporate ethnically Jewish people and Israelis into the 1964 Civil Rights Act which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. BDS and many movements like it are hotbeds of Antisemitism that tacitly encourage and promote public institutions funded by tax-payers discriminating against groups of people based on their ethnicity and national origin. So, yeah, there's nothing actually wrong here. Y'all just have an issue with Jewish self-determination.

The working definition of Antisemitism means that denying Jewish self-determination or calling Zionism intrinsically racist would constitute bigotry. You can still argue that settlements are unjust. You just can't call for the abolition of Israel specifically out of all the nation-states in the region. Because, yeah, that's almost always racist.

It's Antisemitic to specifically boycott Israeli products because the de facto motivations of organizations that oppose Jewish self-determination are, at their roots, Antisemitic. "I don't want the Jews to have a state" isn't a tolerant sentiment. It's considered bigotry in most civilized settings. When you find yourself agreeing with actual Neo-Nazis on the Jews, Vass, you might want to reevaluate your stance on the issue.

So basically you have no idea what the anti-Israeli protests are actually protesting against and just decided it's opposing Jewish self-determination.

BDS is de facto a racist project. We can point to a minority of its activists who aren't actual bigots but that doesn't excuse the fact that it's objective is to get public institutions to discriminate against Jews by opposing their right to self-determination - the specific fact that makes BDS Antisemitic under functioning definitions of Antisemitism.

Nice try. That's not the issue here and if you studied this at all you'd know as much. But keep defending Antisemites.
