American non jew here. I have an Israeli coworker who says that he’s left wing but at the same time he says kind of racist things about Hasidic Jews and complains about them in the workplace. is this a common sentiment amongst Israelis to dislike Hasids or is my coworker just a psycho

That's not racism but rather a type of anti-religious sentiment. But this is firmly an intra-community issue that has specific Jewish and Israeli context and I would advise you to stay out of it as a non-Jew. I bet he is talking about Haredim rather than Hasidim though, and I will say that Haredim are often, much like any other fundamentalist religious community, very patriarchal, homophobic etc, and in Israel specifically they enjoy a frankly unprecedented amount of institutional and government influence and other disproportionate privileges. Of course I have criticism for them. Their representatives in government want me dead or converted. Maybe if you feel it's appropriate, you can remind him that the American environment is very different from the Israeli one and that kind of sentiment could fuel antisemitism there.

Thing is it's not Marxists who've lost, it's not leftists, it's not liberals, it's not centrists. It's everyone. We've all lost. Democracy is losing. Social norms and human rights axioms as we'd known them are losing. It's only the formerly fringe far right that wins. Maybe a broad coalition could still defeat the former fringe, but not only did we resoundingly fail at building such a coalition, I fear it would no longer even be the majority.

sorry for the unsolicited rambling/u don’t have to respond but i just wanted to say that as an Israeli American i think it’s really interesting how different the media plays different roles within Israel vs America. ex: hostage posters (as i understand it) within Israel are used to call for ceasefire and a hostage deal. on the other hand, in America they’re used as a means to call for more indiscriminate bombings/continuing the war and to counter any pro Palestine activism including those that call for ceasefire and hostage deal.

ialso feel like israeli media like toi despite the fact that it’s obviously going to be more biased toward a certain perspective often has way more credible information and more honest info on i/p info than even American liberal media on Israel from nyt or cnn deny a lot of the atrocities of the current war

Oh I absolutely agree with your first point, and in fact I find it entirely unsurprising; of course context changes everything. These are different countries in different continents with different governments and different peoples and dramatically different circumstances. Like, duh. Unfortunately this simple idea can be challenging for many people.

For those who are unaware, it's true that the hostages have been used to justify the war to the world (and US specifically), and it's also true that the Israeli hostage protests have always called for immediate ceasefire and are in direct opposition to our government. Netanyahu has no problem loudly championing this cause abroad and violently suppressing it domestically. It's clear he has no actual intent to ever bring them home, but he'll use their suffering to fuel his genocide. It's insane how politicized this issue has become here. Genuinely, saving these kidnapped civilians who have been held captive for over a year is now seen as a "leftist" issue. The police beat and arrest kidnapped people's family members and counter-protesters turn up to heckle them. Still insane to me.

Not sure about your second point tho. The amount of blatant misinfo disseminated through Israeli media by our military and gov and echoed with minimal skepticism is insane. Almost worse is the lack of reporting of the atrocities we're committing in Gaza; the only mainstream Israeli publication that consistently reports on it is Haaretz, and the amount of vitriol they receive is insane. The average person here doesn't know what's going on there and doesn't want to know, and will become angry if you try to tell them. I've been accused multiple times of "siding with Hamas" for simply discussing it.

Idk about nyt or CNN reporting misinfo as I don't follow them, I prefer AP, but if you've got some examples on hand I'd love to look them up.

i wanted Kamala to win and all that but imma be fr i got shot at and my fingers bashed in as a college student protester. my school literally just bought more drones and grenades like last month. they were gonna do protest suppression regardless of who was in office.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. That's genuinely awful, I'm sorry.

However, Trump has been very outspoken about cracking down further on peaceful protests, including siccing the US military on protesters, and since George Floyd republican lawmakers have already introduced dozens of anti-protest laws. We have every indication that this trend will worsen under a Trump presidency, with a Republican-controlled senate and supreme court (and possibly house).

In no way do I mean to minimize the horrific violence faced by US protesters right now. But things can and do get worse, and there are plenty of countries you can look to for examples. There is no such thing as a right to protest in an autocracy.
