The below thread is is very honest and accurate representation of the implications and consequences of antizionism:
@slooperbia50068 He points to some inevitable consequences that I haven't seen pointed to this explicitly and that I myself would hesitated before noting so as not to appear "paranoid" or "hysterical."
@shtetlite From me? Not at all--he lays things out very clearly, with no fudging. Obviously at a certain point the existence of Jews would become "problematic." It's best to be aware of this.
@slooperbia50068 Some contemporary theorist of the "human rights discourse," I assume.
@shtetlite And if you mean from him, also certainly not.
@shtetlite He's a completely serious thinker who follows his assumptions to their logical conclusions. He's defending himself against an "accusation" of Zionism so he's being especially forceful to "exonerate" himself. But he means every word.
@truepeers Very good questions. I'm not inclined to engage him, precisely because the cult of "Israel genocide" shuts down all possibilities of exchange--you can see how central it is as a marker of moral acceptability. Everyone wants to out-genocide the others. But it's something to watch.
@truepeers I would recommend following him, especially now--the question of Zionism is becoming central for his cohort. It's partly circling the wagons after he himself was accused of "Zionism," but it also reflects the way all leftism must eventually circle the Palestine drain.
@truepeers Precisely because he is distinctively free of some hallowed leftist traditions and taboos he will dig down especially deeply into Palestine. To abandon that would be to wander in the wilderness.
@slooperbia50068 Hesitation before saying something I think is true but am not sure I can claim convincingly is a very different matter than the threshold at which concern about neighborhood safety is triggered. No, I don't think the belief that the sexual is demonic is widespread.
@slooperbia50068 The first part is pointing out that you are comparing unlike things. There is illicit and licit sex--this is true of many human activities.
@slooperbia50068 How about an ex-con who has been in jail for stabbing someone to death? Should I notify others and advise them to avoid him?
@slooperbia50068 It's easy enough to find out.
