| They are not specifically saying "Death to Israel" but "From River to Sea" which does mean Israel as a Jewish state needs to go. What the replacement for the Jewish State should be means anything from a multiethnic democratic state to the slaughter of the Jews. That means it is ... |

| ASPartOfMe has pointed out that there are reportedly quite a few people who want to jump on the bandwagon of being autistic / neurodiverse and that in some cases, that hurts the autistic population's credibility. I still don't think it's anywhere 70% like the OP suggests. I'd struggle to believe ev... |

| ^What you are describing is a perspective that exists but it is not "wokeism." (And incidentally I agree with that perspective. It's true that because racism is embedded in the structure of society no one is immune to it and it's difficult to avoid perpetuating it.) The meaning of the wor... |

| I do agree that this has definitely become like 9/11 all over again. It should be noted that Islamaphobia has also increased in the post-10/7 period just as antisemitism increased in the post 9/11 period (Jews did 9/11 for world control). But Islamophobia was the primary bigotry inflamed by 9/11, a... |

| A subset of progressives or leftists and a subset of people who identify as woke are the same thing. Woke is not an ideology nor is it a particular group of people. It merely refers to an awareness of societal injustices and an awareness of the systemic nature of such injustice. Just about any left... |

| ^I believe those viewpoints are motivated by the false belief that criticism of the state of Israel is tantamount to antisemitism. When any defense of the rights of Palestinians is conflated with antisemitism, then antisemitism can be found everywhere. I have read a lot of progressive Jews who are ... |

It can't be both. Yes, there are antisemitic people on the left and right, but the left as a whole strongly o... |
