There is no such thing as left-wing antisemitism. Left-wing means equal Human Rights for everybody. There is such a thing as left-wing anti-Zionism. Israel doesn't give equal Human Rights to the Palestinians and that's racist.
I saw this on X/Twitter recently and I've been meaning to share this here, so thank you for sending it my way. This definitely didn't begin on October 7th, 2023 -and I think many Palestinian people -activists and creators, as well as allies have made it very clear that the IOF has long systematically oppressed Palestinian people in Historic Palestine for decades.
How many violent acts and deadly operations has the IOF enacted that has killed Palestinian people and destroyed the land -it's beyond astronomical. The First and Second Intifada, Operation Cast Lead, Operation Pillar of Defense, and Operation Protective Edge -which I remember vividly because I was in University at the time watching everything unfold.
1000's of Palestinian people have been mercilessly killed in previous decades alone -and this is only a fraction of what the IOF has done since 1948 -many mosques, churches, clinics, schools, homes and hospitals -infrastructure in Gaza -has been heavily damaged or destroyed over the years. Not to mention the blockade in Gaza that has been imposed since 2007 -land, air, and sea (as many of us know). And the current ongoing acceleration of mass genocide, and of war crimes and crimes against humanity (how imprisoned Palestinian people have been and are being tortured and medically neglected as just ONE example) -this is by far the most ignorant statements to make because no, this did not start a few months ago.
And it's honestly beyond jarring to me whenever I see zionists/zionist-supporters who say "they started it first," or something along those sentiments too, while not even acknowledging their settler-colonial roots -as if the Nakba did not happen and as if Palestinian haven't been and continue to be massively displaced and killed by the IOF... it's just wild to me.
