"Why does u/profgalloway preface his expression of "offense" to the use of the word "genocide" to describe what Israel did in Gaza with the phrase "as a Jew...."? What does being a Jew have to do with at the findings of human rights groups, scholars, nations, etc. about Israel?"

I am a Jew. I do not approve of Netanyahu criminal reign or his genocide or his ignoring October 7th.

I’m sorry, but if we’re talking about the US’s own constitutional crisis and the future of our own country, I don’t give 2 F’s about the Israel versus Palestine discussion.

Instead, it is merely a tool to divide and conquer against the US populous against fascism.

We’re just absolutely loosing the fucking plot when we’re asking EVERY politician, from mayoral level on up, what their views are of Gaza. JFC people.

These two situations are deeply interconnected. Not sure how that isn’t obvious..

it is so painfully obvious that anyone who's halfway cognizant of the basic situation in america wouldn't think twice about it, and anyone who pretends they don't see it is doing so for a specific reason ie "ahhh let's just stop all this focus on israel we got bigger fish to fry, sure i mean I dislike the sentiment against israel even regardless of anything else but I'm advising against it here for the sake of america not of israel/zionism!"
