Ethnic Minorities and People of Color

For those of you who don't know, Gary Yourofsky is considered to be one of the most influential vegan activists there is, having a very wide reach when it comes to his messaging. He retired for about a decade, but he recently came back.

The thing about Yourofsky is that he is a hardcore Zionist, and he's one who claims to have "made 5% of Israel vegan," but he has no actual data that supports this claim.

Since his return, Yourofsky has been doing interviews with several vegan YouTubers, creators, and activists, and recently, he did what he called his last one for the time being, a so-called "debate" with intersectional vegans Natalie Fulton and Catherine Klein. (CW)

Now, I watched this whole thing, and it's honestly so damn embarrassing to watch. Gary got extreme levels of angry just because they challenged him on his Zionism. And by no means were they aggressive about this. They were incredibly polite and gentle with how they approached the subject with this man, certainly far more than I'd be, yet he just started lashing out, swearing, and saying contradictory back and forth things (e.g., on one hand, he'd say "Fuck all humans" and more generalized misanthropic platitudes, but then say something that praises Israelis in particular and denounces Palestinians in particular).

Regarding his "I turned 5% of Israel vegan" claim, Catherine responded by providing statistics stating that Israel is #8 in the world for meat consumption and #1 in the world for chicken consumption, emphasizing that the amount of chickens who die for Israeli food is a huge number especially because chickens are small individuals who get exploited in large quantities. She also noted that the claim that Israel is "the most vegan country in the world" has no sound evidence or empirical data. It's actually a talking point pushed by this Israeli asshat who runs a large "vegan" organization.

And, of course, on top of all of this, Catherine noted that, even if Israel is this "vegan" (meaning "very plant-based" really) haven that Zionist "vegans" say it is, it doesn't excuse genocide.

What baffles me the most about this whole stream is that Gary Yourofsky did a typical liberal move where he basically unknowingly blurted out "I love radical aesthetics but not actual radical politics!" By that, I mean he said that Malcolm X is one of his favorite figures in all of history. What the fuck.

This was all too much a fucking mess because Gary has such a huge fucking ego that he hates being challenged on anything ever.

So, now, back to the first sentence I made about George, this awful right-wing "vegan" activist who'll call himself a centrist and simp for Gary Yourofsky. He made a video responding to this debate, and of course, in it, he was cucking for Gary really hard.

In his comments, someone said, "I'd feel more sympathy for Palestinians if they were vegan."

George seemingly had no issue with that!

On this subject, I find it really odd when Zionist "vegans" say shit like this, as if Palestinians are especially non-vegan when compared to other groups of people, let alone the sheer disregard for their material conditions. Obviously, most people of any given country, culture, and ethnic group are going to be non-vegan, period. And yes, that quite clearly includes Pissraelis.

But in comes this hypocrisy: George has been whining a lot about Charlie KKKirKKK's death on social media, and on a Facebook post he made today, he states:

You do not need to know who Charlie Kirk was.

You do not need to know what party he voted for.

You do not need to know what political opinions he had.

All you need to know is that a husband, and a father of 2 young children, was shot in the throat while engaging in peaceful debate on a Western country's university campus, in 2025.

Note: I will be deleting ALL comments that just condemn him for what opinions he had or for subjectively being a "bad person", in accordance with the very principle of this post.

LMAO, I love how he mentioned "On a Western country's..." specifically. I should also note that this guy is big on some shit.

But besides him allegedly being a champion for "free speech," here's the crucial irony that exposes just how disingenuous this concerning trend of veganwashing Isn'trael's genocide is: Charlie Kirk was firmly anti-vegan.

Ridiculousness all around.

The fact that people like this are too damn common in the "vegan" movement makes me so iffy about a lot of them. Certainly is a part of the reason why I took a big break from browsing the vegan side of social media.
