Haha wow he really tried to throw some antisemitism in there too.
I think you get a good peek into the psyche of powerful people when they use inappropriate terms from marginalized communities as a shield against just actions or comments made against them. It implies they see those genuine complaints from minorities as something merely performative - a tool for sympathy, a shield from criticism. It reveals narcissism and a lack of empathy.
From the river to the sea is not antisemitic. In the Palestine before 1947 Jews, Christians and Muslims all lived side by side as neighbors, and none of them had spwcial rights or was threatened.
What that sentence does mean though, is that there would be no jewish apartheid ethnostate that is actively stealing land left and right, and starting wars with people they see as inferior.
Oh I know, that's just the card he's trying to play (the same card Israel uses regularly, 'any support of Palestine = antisemitism', 'any criticism of Israel = antisemitism').
Appreciate your comment though.
Ah, I misunderstood your comment then, it's true that Israelis try to play that card (quite successfully so).
I'd recommend putting the fake "antisemitism" (because not all anti Zionism is antisemitic) in quotes, to make it more clear.
Israelis are not a marginalized community for the record despite their victim playing, but I take your point.
Is he implying that he believes "rich = Jewish"? Because if so, how anti-semitic of him.
I have no qualms with working-class Jews.
Likewise, I think all billionaire oligarchs need to be taxed at higher rates. (Currently they're taxed less than the working class; being compelled to pay your fair share isn't prejudicial!). Race/ethnicity/religion simply doesn't factor into it.
