Can you imagine any white person bouncing out there with, "If X people only took care of their bad elements, they'd be much safer!" while implying they're partially responsible for their own mistreatment?
Like, that would be crazily racist sentiment to toss out there in a liberal space.
But when it's said about Jews, it's just common sense!
This is abhorrent. I'm sorry. It's one thing to be against what's happening in Gaza - I think nearly all of us here are. But when people start sounding like they just read the Protocols of the Elders of Zion for the first time, it's gone too far. This stuff is hedging into collective responsibility - which is racist.
I don't think people recognize in themselves the road they're allowing their ideology to take them down.
I cannot believe this is getting posted to DU. Fucking crazy. The post October 7th influx of this - yes, racism - needs to be called out already.
"But Gaza . . ." is not an excuse for the fucked up shit that's getting posted here about Jews on the regular lately.
Shame.
