You know, the fundamental problem with the âIsrael is getting of Hamas for Gazansâ take is that Israel isnât getting rid of the conditions that led to the formation and growth of Hamas
In order for Israel to truly get rid of Hamas, they need to address the core issues that led Palestinians into forming Hamas, like the right of return, mass poverty of Palestinians, lack of freedom of movement etc.
They essentially need to do to Gaza what America did to Japan after WW2 to even justify that line of argument, but even the most left wing party in the Knesset that isnât Arab dominated wonât even consider doing that, so they are dooming themselves to the cycle of violence all over again

I wonât be surprised if it was a bunch of actual children doing this which is why the messages sound so cartoonish/straight up childish. Middle class westernised Muslim children deciding to be anti-semitic because itâs seen as âedgyâ and âtransgressiveâ
Essentially the Western Muslim equivalent of the alt right pipeline more or less
With that being said, college is giant circlejerk and I wonât be surprised if some pro-palestinian people circlejerked themselves so hard that they made death threats against a Jewish institution because they genuinely believe they will help Palestinians stop being bombed or something
So itâs either middle class white people larping as Islamic militants or mjddle class children larping as Islamic militants

Marxâs On The Jewish Question at worst uses anti-semitic tropes in service of a larger argument but imo I donât think itâs anti semitic. In the article, Marx was arguing
against someone who thought Jews need to get rid of their Jewishness to gain political and civic rights. I basically agree with the take by David Mcllean that the whole second part of the essay is âan extended pun at Bauerâs(person Marx is responding to) expenseâ. Part of the reason for this confusion is that while both Bauer and Marxâs texts are called âThe Jewish Questionâ and âOn the Jewish Questionâ respectively, they ultimately delve into the question of general human emancipation from societal woes. Bauer blames religion, Marx blames class society, and Judaism is used an unfortunate means of discussing it.
Essentially whether or not you see it is anti semitic is how seriously you think Marx was being when he uses Judaism as a branching off point to talk about the material-ideal dialectic of Capitalism. I donât think Marx was being very serious at all. I personally think Marx was just being an edgelord in response to Bruno Bauer, which I suppose you can argue is still anti-semitic, but like, closer to early Idubbz style racism rather than Adolf Hitler
