In reply to the discussion: Accusing Israel of ‘genocide’: Major fail [View all]Shaktimaan
(5,397 posts)So Larry Derfner, the unapologetic left wing journalist who was actually fired from haaretz for his article empathizing with Hamas' attacks on Israel is IYO implying that the term genocide is only applicable when the victims are Jews? Because anyone who disagrees with abbas' description clearly abides by this specific, racist ideology of yours. An ideology that I've only ever seen voiced as an accusation, never (nor anything remotely similar) as an affirmation.
It's telling that all of your criticisms require vastly deviating from the actual statements made by your target. I've never seen you make an honest rebuttal to anyone's actual statement. Your arguments hinge on drawing extremely extrapolated distortions, straw men; that don't exist in the real world.
Through these fabrications you tip your own hand though. Even a journalist renown for his commitment to peace and progressivism is reamed for his obscene views, "only violence against Jews can qualify as genocide, to reinforce Jews' perceived status as eternal victims."
It's hateful accusations like this that give us a clear peek behind the veil of many self-proclaimed "leftist anti-zionists" such as yourself, revealing an ideology that's neither leftist, nor progressive. A little too much so in your case to be believed, really. Larry Derfner has already more than proven his progressive political commitment. Your knee jerk response attacking him for repugnant views, views he came nowhere near to espousing, comes off less like real criticism and more like a desperate fishing expedition... Hoping to snag a "zionist" to troll with hate-speech, and increasingly blatant bigotry.
For the record, it's not the political views you post that mark you as a troll/possible bigot. I don't think they're actually beliefs you hold. Rather, they're simply bait, taken less and less often, provoking ever grosser posts from you in hopes of a bite.
So, are Israel supporters just easy/fun targets, or are you really as deeply hateful of Jewish people as your posts would imply? I'd normally wager that you're just a trolly kid, but the amount of research and effort you've put into this would imply otherwise.
If you do, somehow, actually believe the stuff you post, then you're packing some serious stormfront level hate under that steel plate denial of yours.
