You know, apologize for it immediately.
podcast-host
Yeah.
podcast-host
Like Pink Pink wrote, like, I forgave him, and you know who forgave him?
podcast-host
The ADL.
podcast-host
People are only bringing this up now because of the Israel conversation.
podcast-host
So let's get back to that.
podcast-host
When Pink quotes in this statement McLemore saying that this isn't about Jews, told Jews this wasn't about them, but he doesn't get to decide that for us.
podcast-host
She seems to be inferring that his comment was dismissive of Jews, but it wasn't.
podcast-host
The opposite was true.
podcast-host
Pink's categorization of him saying that is he told Jews it wasn't about us.
podcast-host
I also think it's a bad strategy in the short term, for reasons that are very evident in this essay.
podcast-host
You know, Zionists have created this like impossible discursive dilemma where they constantly tell us that it is anti Semitic to hold Jews worldwide responsible for the actions of the Zionist regime, thereby conflating Jews with Israel, which which I agree.
podcast-host
Yeah, of course.
podcast-host
As much as like I feel I feel responsible just because it's being done in my name as a Jewish person, but but but broadly I agree.
podcast-host
It's like you shouldn't go up to a Jewish person and and start yelling at them about what they personally are doing to the Palestinians without knowing anything about their stances on anything.
podcast-host
Like I think that could be anti-Semitic for sure.
podcast-host
But when anti Zionists like Macklemore explicitly separate their criticism of Israel from Jews, here we have
podcast-host
Have Zionists like Pink cry anti Semitism regardless, insisting that it is in fact not up to McLemore to decide when Jews and Israel can be conflated.
podcast-host
And I think this is like a perfect encapsulation of the centrality of Zionist feelings, however incoherent, in the global debate over Israel and Palestine.
podcast-host
Even Mackelmore like so explicitly being like, I'm not blaming Jewish people, and then Pink just insisting that he's blaming Jewish people.
