"leftists don't fall for/into right wing hate campaigns for other groups as much as they do for antisemitism" is a really funny way of broadcasting which groups you pay attention to. Anyway we all do remember V*ush and his sycophants constantly claiming "land back is a call for ethnostates" and baiting WOC to intentionally misrepresent their politics on race up to and including claiming they want white genocide, right.

Acting like somehow people on the left are often progressive about every other thing but are antisemites is absurd. It happens, but its not common. An antisemite is often also a racist, a xenophobe, religiously intolerant overall, etc. There are plenty of racist, xenophobic, shithead leftists. Anyone who's actually a leftist would know there's constant tumbling online with shithead leftists and they never have just one shithead opinion.

#cipher talk #V*ush is also an antisemite but his hate campaigns to my knowledge focus on people of color #Antisemitism is more like a sickening bonus he pulls out in these debates #Also! This sort of shit in my experience is more common than isolated 'leftist antisemitism' among actual leftists #The people following V*ush's lead consider themselves leftists #Some examples of 'leftist Antisemitism' people pull really feel like they saw an antisemite express one progressive opinion and screamed #'ITS THE DAMN LEFT AGAIN'#I promise you. A lotta people doing that are not leftists #It annoys me because there are actual common tropes of leftist antisemitism I experience but it feels like people only bring up the idea #When talking about Zionism #Actual things I've experienced have like. Nothing or little to do with that. It's more 'a lot of shit c*ntrapoints has done' and militant #Or utoptian atheism (the latter being something I've had other marginalized religious people tell me was making them uncomfortable but that #They didn't feel comfortable speaking up about in leftist spaces)#Or like. People who didn't grow up in the West saying offensive shit because they know what a Nazi is but never got a proper education #About Jewish history- generally they aren't trying to be offensive. They literally do not know better. It doesn't make it okay #But it's not the same as the other shit #Or in some cases they're like. A hypocrite who believes in anti colonialism but only for themselves #Such as that one guy who saw me speaking about Coptic issues and the importance of leftists to not cede ground to Zionists by letting them #Coopt ideas from MENA indigenous groups and said 'shut up Jew'. He didn't know I was Jewish. He was making an unfavorable comparison to #Shame me into silence #Admittedly it was funny and I still think it's funny because jeez man. At least say a slur! But it was antisemitic regardless of the fact #That I found it to stupid to be upset by #It's also notable there that like. The guy was not primarily mad because of Judaism. He was angry because of a Copt existing and talking #The Copt happened to be my freak ass and Coincidentally was what I am
