Hasan Piker explains why being anti-semitic is not an effective way to be anti-Zionist: "Anti-semitism is not an effective way to be an anti-Zionist. Not only is it wrong, but it's also outright unproductive. If your goal is to hold Israel to account, you can't be anti-semitic. You just... simply can't; it's ridiculous. It's inherently reactionary. It's inherently anti-materialist. It makes no fucking sense. Is your goal to also attack Jews? Because if that's the case, then of course you're not welcome in this fucking community."show more

I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT MY TYPO WHEWWWWWWW

Thank you. 🙏Bookmarked this. Hasan says this all the time and yet they smear him as an antisemite. His and his communities' principled stance on this has actually helped in countering antisemitism. People should show/share this tweet/video everytime/everywhere.

Anti-Semitism has been on the rise since Israel's genocide became mainstream. Israel has heavily contributed to anti-Semitic sentiment at the expense of Jews, who are just people like all other humans. I'm saying this as someone who's experienced Israeli bombardment around me.

But it very much effective for PEOPLE in power n mass media to always equates "free Palestine" to antisemitism or Fuck Zionism to antisemitism. Thus that created more space for regular person to be antisemitic.

starting to see why ppl like this guy

Factually incorrect. Antisemitism helps the Palestinian movement and hold Israel accountable far more and effectively than towing antizionism. Antizionism means you spend all your time trying to prove you are antiZio not antisemitic.
