  Once again, observing in disgust is not the same as calling for the death of 7 million Jews. And it shows a lot that when I presented you with that evidence, you didn’t say “that’s awful, no one should call for the extermination of all the people in a nation”, but “yeah, you deserve it”. Funny how you get all up in arms about genocide, but ignore calls for genocide against those you don’t like.

  Thanks for engaging in good faith :) this is why Jews feel so safe and comfortable, knowing that when they raise valid concerns about people calling for their death, everyone immediately jumps to their defense, saying “no one should die!” and not “yeah, you deserve it!”

  Also: world Jewish population: 15.7mil, or 0.2% of the world population. Estimated Jews killed in the Holocaust: 5-6mil, about 60% of the world Jewish population. This has happened before and it will happen again: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_antisemitism

  No, because you’re changing the discussion. You were making the claim that people aren’t calling for the death of all Israelis. I’m saying, they are. Israeli government officials also calling for the death of Palestinians doesn’t change the fact that in the US, where I am, people are actively protesting for the death of 7 million Jews, as the above commenter said.

  I’m not looking to get into a larger argument about the state of the war; I have my own opinions but I hold them to myself for the moment.

  That doesn’t invalidate my point that Jews are feeling threatened because people are calling for at best the displacement of, and at worst the death of everyone in the one and only Jewish state - the state where the majority of the worlds Jewish population lives, and most Jews likely have family or connections in. And that’s even taking the more charitable assumption that it’s not a dogwhistle or precursor to calling for the death of all Jews, as many other protests in the past have.

  See my comment: sh.itjust.works/comment/11441248. Yes, people (protest organizers) are advocating publicly for the death of Israelis.

  If someone in Nazi Germany said “I’m just participating in Nazi rallies because they’re making the country run better”, that still doesn’t absolve them of blame for amplifying Nazi voices. Same for these protests - if you participate in these protests, you’re responsible for choosing to participate in a call for violence and amplifying their voices.

  Zionists don’t deserve to live.

  Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.

  From one of the leaders of the protest at Columbia, who also led around 200 protesters to surround 3 Jews who came to the site and led them to chant “expel the Zionists” (video of the incident in the article).

  This is also just what’s publicly reported on, not including Israeli news sources who often report on other incidents that don’t make it to reputable American media, nor including personal incidents that I and my family and friends have been subjected to.
