(21,670 posts)Israel's actions simply make it socially acceptable to express their hatred openly by using Palestinians as a veil.
What I find surprising is how few who support Palestinians (you may be surprised I support their desire for their own state) will step up and condemn antisemitic acts. It is like people think if they condemn attacks on US Jews it somehow betrays their support for Palestinians. It makes the non-specific statements of "I'm against antisemitism" ring hollow; especially when the next word after antisemitism is "but".
Example- the antisemitic vandalism of the homes of the board members. All of *one* "pro-Palestinian" supporter entered the several threads to condemn the vandalism. It was such a rare occurrence I had to congratulate the poster on their moral courage.
