His original post , titled I can't sleep, is some brilliant writing. When we talk about the chilling effect that criticism of Israel creates in industries everywhere (including ours) this is what that looks like.

When I read these kind of posts, I just wonder, was he 10 times more “loosing sleep” when Assad government killed order of magnitude more civilians? Or is it just now, because of the Jews?

When I read these kinds of posts, I’m reminded that calling or implying people are antisemititic for not simping for genocide isn’t just a meme but the real tactic used to silence and discredit legitimate concerns.

Funny you’re more offended about this guy having a voice than you are 20,000 dead.

I am not offended, why would I? just see an explosion on internet of outrage of what is going on in Gaza, while the same internet was relatively quiet during events in Syria. I see huge hypocrisy in that, and the only explanation I can find is yes, it is due to antisemitism. And most of the whining about loss of life is hypocritical.

The difference is that this time the West is supporting and financing the genocide.

Genocide? Please. This is a war with quite low numbers of civilians casualties so far. Was it genocide when the west entered Iraq? Afghanistan? ISIS? Where was the outrage when Americans took Fallujah or Mosul? These are just single battles.

The fact that in similar situations nobody brings “genocide” but here they do, suggest for me the same - hypocrisy.

In Gaza about 1% of the population died you moron. Also people were very much outraged at these things.

What percentage died in Mosul? Aleppo? Fallujah? I would guess larger. And you worried only now? And lashing out on other people for pointing your hypocrisy, only shows that you do not have moral or at least consistent position to stand, and you start calling other people morons. Examine your own position from universal human values, rather than “Jews are evil”, think it through.
