Being against genocide and apartheid isn't a purity standard. It's the literal ground floor of not being a monster. Even some liberals can clear that one.
What orgs are excluding jews, the fuck?
the magacom party, probably
I thought they were big fans of Israel?
They want a one-state solution in the same way the U.S southern Evangelical death cult wants a one-state solution.
Most zionists arent even jewish lol
Captial Z zionist, lower case j Jew
I wish this were a unique thing but I've seen "literally any moral standard is purity politics and purity politics is bad" in the wild before, years ago.
It's a weirdly common take. Shouldn't get any runtime at all considering where a lack of standards gets you, yet here we are.
is drumf running? That's all I need to know about politics
"You should be including women in your activism if you are a leftist. That fucking includes TERFs and SWERFs. If you make our survival conditional on meeting a purity standard, you're disgusting."
Funny how the paradox of intolerance gets thrown out the window the second libs have their eyes on the prize
If you can't meet the standard of "don't kill people and steal their land" then you need to fucking go
'Leftist' is literally used in Israel as a pejorative
Who first uttered the words "purity test"? Whoever that was has singlehandedly set progress back by twenty years.
"Only we fascists get to hold people's survival to an arbitrary purity standard, if you do it to us you're a disgusting untermensch"
Yes, lets add a bunch of unhinged nationalists to our leftist orgs. What could possibly go wrong?
I'm sure they have a good argument this time around.
spoiler I have duly considered the merits of their argument, have weighed the evidence...

Translation: My zionist belief that Palestinians are subhumans worthy only of genocide is pure and ok and if you stand with them you hate all Jews
