Shit Liberal Zionists Say

I used to be a liberal Zionist, so I know the shit they say.

A spokeswoman for Peace Now said that this was a dangerous argument for Jewish-Israelis to make and could backfire and “hurt Israel.”

She said that we don’t believe that “Palestinians or Jews” should have the “right to return” at this point to disputed areas “where they were forced out from before the war of 1948.”

She added that just as Palestinians “should accept compensation” and not try en masse to return to Israel, the Fund should be ready to accept compensation in the form of rent, as suggested by the court.

Your Nakba day is making me uncomfortable. Can’t we just move on and forget the past?

I respect your Nakba narrative, but you also need to respect that too many Palestinians in Israel is a demographic threat.

More from the old livejournal

“I went to the Brooklyn Peace Fair today, which was great when I saw Cindy Sheehan, and sucked when I went to an incredibly one-sided workshop on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and opened my big mouth! And because I confronted a Palestinian youth group on their rather biased version of history, I had to stand outside for 45 minutes while my dad argued with a bunch of people, one of whom wouldn’t shake his hand because he served in the IDF. This goes back to my little-run in with a Communist in Revolution Books. I hate arguing with people who are more radical than me! It’s so much harder, it makes me hopeless about the state of the world, and it leaves me feeling like a dirty right-winger”

I love embarrassing former me for the benefit of you people

Looking at my old livejournal

Here’s a gem for you all:
“I attended the Salute to Israel parade today. It’s one of my favourite things to do with Hashomer [the socialist-Zionist youth movement I belonged to]. There’s nothing like skipping down Fifth avenue, chanting and singing while orange-clad people boo and jeer at you from both sides of the street. At one point someone yelled, “why don’t you just commit suicide?” apparently in response to our “Zionists for a Palestinian State” signs. Guy had one that said “‘Knock knock?’ ‘Who’s there?’ ‘A palestinian state!’” It’s my new favourite knock-knock joke. Even better than the one in America the Book’s Best of Middle East Humour section: “‘Knock knock.’ ‘No, it is you that is wrong!’”“

SLZS Special Edition: Shit White People Say About Stop and Frisk

I went to an event about stop and frisk today. The speaker, who had been stopped and frisked more times than he could count, is involved in a lawsuit against the city. At the age of 15, he was severely beaten by two police officers in the lobby of his own building for trying to use the stairs when the elevator was broken. He has had officers search his socks for guns. He and a friend were once thrown to the ground and held at gunpoint for 15 minutes because there was a “gun in the area.” Here are some of the things the white people in attendance said to him.

“I want to play the devil’s advocate here. It’s a really convincing argument that stop and frisk is making black and hispanic people safer by decreasing crime and getting rid of guns.”

“I don’t see you as Latino. I just see you as a guy. I don’t see race. My boyfriend is half-black and he says I don’t see race.”

“I’m so afraid that this is going to start happening to MY kids and that I’ll have to teach them not to be afraid of the police. Stop and frisk happens to little blond boys in private school uniforms, too.”

Here’s how you know it’s springtime in my part of Brooklyn! Now let’s all take a moment to imagine what the reaction would be if there were posters up in Brooklyn that told Muslim men it was their duty to make sure that the women in their families observed Sharia law regarding modest dress Now let’s all take a moment to cry
