Antisemitism? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/antisemitism?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@rbreich yes - it is anti-semitism - and rampant ignorance. They say they’re not antisemitic, they’re anti-Zionist. But what does that mean, really? It means that Israel has no right to exist - that of the groups of the world who have sought for their own homeland, and reached that goal, only Jews are forbidden it. What are we to take away from this movement’s “Zionists don’t deserve to live” but a deep genocidal hatred for Jews? When they take up Hamas’ mantra “from the river to the sea” when that is exactly a call for wiping out every Jew in Israel, and support Hamas despite - or because of - it’s foundational charter that calls for the destruction of the Jewish people?

@georgetakei The “rhetorical question” one is alive and well - questions in Spanish start with one and end with “?”
And the interrobang never died - it is, in fact, not very old (50-ish years) and I use it whenever it’s called for ‽‽‽
