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 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.
