33. delrem, it's racist to claim the West Bank is exclusively Palestinian land....

....when Jews have many rights to the land as well.

It's racist to call on RoR, which only favors Palestinians having a right to come back to Israel or the territories.

It's racist for a future Palestine to deny Jews citizenship, as Abbas has repeatedly claimed.

You support such a Palestinian state.

It's racist whenever Hamas in Gaza or Fatah in the West Bank uses their state-run media and other public institutions to incite hatred and subjugation of other people (Jews especially).

You support a future state that does that and will continue to do so.

Own it.

You support a Palestinian state based on sharia law, which will discriminate against women and gays.

Being like any other anti-zionist, it's racist when you guys are only working to deny one people (the Jews) a right to self-determination.

It's racist to favor a totalitarian, discriminatory, bigoted, racist regime over a liberal democracy.

=========

There's definitely one position on I/P and therefore one side (yours) that is far and away SIGNIFICANTLY more racist than the other.

You shouldn't be so proud and smug WRT your advocacy.

In a nutshell, the best you can claim is that you're fighting against racism (affirmative action for Jews) in order to fix that injustice with something exponentially more racist and unjust.

And as an anti-racist, you should stop pretending that you're just as vigilant WRT antisemitism as you are to any other form of racism.
