Bouvard on Post-October 7 Pro-Palestine Conversions

All those who suddenly reversed their long-held positions on Israel, Zionism, and Jews post October 7 should be viewed as essentially pod people.

@slooperbia50068 Are you familiar with The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, which involves pod people replications replacing people?

@slooperbia50068 When something this extreme happens--many people in the same circle completely changing their views in the exact same way virtually over night--I think such language is warranted to draw attention to the need for explanation.

@slooperbia50068 I believe one will emerge, regarding sources of funding and coordination.

@slooperbia50068 There is money and coordination is enforced--exactly how and by whom I assume we will see. Or maybe a few dozen people independently and instantaneously rethought all their political positions in exactly the same way.

@slooperbia50068 I think something like this has always been the right wing argument for Zionism. What would currently be the balance between love and resentment generated by this statement?

@slooperbia50068 If that balance varies historically.

@slooperbia50068 Then who would be doing the directing in the case of Zionism as model?
