He really should possibly consider taking a break from Twitter and going back to imaginary car tunnels or whatever. Bloody hell. Absolute brain-worms.

I think it would need far more space, time and nuance than most people are willing to give, to have a productive discussion of this, even here on HN.

What kind of nuance is necessary to discus the idea that Jews hate white people?

It's funny how certain subjects are deemed taboo and pearl-clutching ensues whenever they are mentioned.

There's a saying, "We can agree to disagree, except when it comes to genocide. We have to agree that genocide is bad."

Israel exists because of a genocide, and they are currently fighting a foe who has genocide of Jews written into its charter.

So yeah, it's not a case where we will just treat every comment as a sincere discussion with no consequence. We can't just take "genocide is bad" as read, because there are many people actively campaigning for it. If you want to talk about it, many people aren't going to just agree-to-disagree.

Israel propped up Hamas, and this is blowback. We made the same mistake training Tim Osman at The School of the Americas.

Genocide of Palestine in reaction isn't justified.

Yeah the media LIES all the time.
