    Regretfully, I don’t think changing Israel’s course is as simple as pulling a lever. Antisemitic, or not. Though I get the general gist. Maybe we could improve the meme if we label the lever something. BDS, maybe. And the lever is rusted through so you really need to put your back into it.

      Well not sending them the very bombs and guiding systems that they use for the genocide would be a damn good start!

        It’s a tired tale, someone throws a few rusty old rockets towards Israel that land in a cow field, so it gives carte banche to level everything withing a couple hundred miles for ‘defensive purposes’.

        Right. I fully agree that nobody is going to fix this probably during our lifetimes, but there’s a big difference between that and actively making things worse.

          Yeah. I’m pretty fed up with the phrase “he/they doesn’t/don’t have a magic wand” at this point…

            By the same people who think Trump can singlehandely start marching liberals of to camps the second he’s elected. They bit right into the media rage bait sensationalism and think with their emotions. Dude couldn’t even build a damn wall.

      It’s more about the law the US is passing right now, that expands definition of antisemitism with a view to restricting protests against the genocide
