Black Lives Matter must rescind anti-Israel declaration

[aranthus]

21. More words on Dersh.

I post this because it makes an important point about Black Lives Matter. This is from Thomas Harrington in Counter Punch:

"Those of us that support Black Lives Matter are not particularly interested in anything that he—a serial bully, sycophant to the rich and famous and arch-apologist for Israel’s long and constant history of ethnic cleansing—says to us.

Indeed, many us of find the pose he adopts, the all-too-familiar one of the Zionist—which is to say a person beholden to an ideology that grants civil rights on the basis of a person’s bloodlines—telling us what we can and cannot say about this or that subject to be not only offensive, but borderline comical."

Of course I don't agree with any of this. What he writes here that isn't idiocy is outright lies. But he makes the point that Dershowitz is foolish to tell BLM that they should drop the anti-Israel agenda. Because that agenda is woven into everything that these people believe. It isn't the case that Leftists sometime say things that on their face appear to be antisemitic. It is that Leftism is inherently antisemitic. Everyone who is familiar with the canary in the coal mine analogy of Jewish existence should be very concerned about that. Because these people won't just hurt Jews.
