    I listened to it before I posted it, and she’s trying to dance around the subject, trying to filter her words so to not offend the Zionist trash she’s pandering to while sounding neutral.

      I think you’re hearing what you want to hear. It seemed pretty clear when I listened to her, that she’s saying there’s a missed opportunity right now to distinguish the left’s perspective on this subject from the right’s. At present the right is the only side talking about this, so they are the ones framing the narrative…and they are disingenuously taking the moral high ground, while those on the left are being framed as the anti-Semites.

      What’s worse, is that online, the left keeps calling everyone “Zionists”, without adding any nuance to their position…which really does make them sound like the ones that have an ignorant position on this subject. Think about it…what do you call someone who lumps everyone into a certain category, whether it fits or not, and labels them with a hostile pejorative?

      It kind of seems like you are proving her point about the left’s messaging, and you’re upset with her for calling you out on it.

          Lol! Except she’s clearly not a Zionist. Saying that we should be engaging this issue from a leftist perspective isn’t some endorsement of Zionism. It’s the opposite.

        Bullshit we call zionists zionists, we call non zionist none zionists. She is sympatizing with a genocidal state
