Because whenever I post about Iran I suddenly get engagement from #tankies:

Fuck the #USA

Fuck #Israel

But if your hatred/ disgust of those countries moves you to oppose the people of #Iran while they are mass murdered by theocratic #authoritarianism, fuck you too

You are not on the left if you don't understand that

@benroyce The far-left and the islamofascists have formed a temporary alliance of convenience.

The Iranian ayatollah’s regime is one of the main supports of the islamofascists, lending aid in the form of funds, ideology, and diplomacy.

Therefore, the far-left opts to remain silent so as not to cross their allies.

The only reason that you are able to call out the worst massacre in modern history, the slaughter of 70,000 or more Iranian citizens within 2 days, is that you are not far-left.

@8124

but Likudniks (right wing Israelis for those who don't know) should not think this means the world will forget about what Israel did to Gaza

the issue is principles, not geopolitics

and principles apply to all

furthermore, tankies are not far-left

it is not possible to support authoritarianism and to also exist on the left

rather, tankies are temporarily confused about the implications of their stated beliefs, and will eventually make peace with their real selves: they are fascists

@benroyce Eventually the #GenocideLibel will fall out of favor once genocide scholars begin to recognize it for what it is: incitement to genocide.

#antizionism has room left to run, but we are beginning to call it out for what it is: a genocidal hate movement.

Wishing for the left to not be silent about Iran is aspirational, not descriptive.

@8124

fuck you you lying shitbag

you cannot fool the world about the obvious

israel committed genocide in gaza

i look forward to you calling me an antisemite for saying that, which i am not

but then we will see the real libel going on on this topic, won't we friend?

@benroyce You are not an antisemite.

You are an antizionist, which is different.

Which principle says you must condemn both the Hutus and the Tutsis?

You have no flipping clue what you are talking about.

@8124

blah blah blah

israel committed genocide in gaza

enjoy your posturing and hand waving, in an attempt to topic shift away from the radioactively obvious

making me the topic with bullshit word games is transparent

that you can't see what you are doing?: proof of your tribal bias over principles

that you know the weak game you are playing and think we can't see it?: proof of your cartoon character level attempt at manipulation

which is it friend?

the world is not as dumb as you think

@8124 @benroyce are you familiar with Raphael Lemkin's work? He was a Jewish scholar of genocide after WWII, and his definition of genocide was the basis for the UN definition, which was finalized in 1949 and agreed to by most nations of the world, including Israel in 1950. I recommend reading the UN definition of genocide with that in mind.

@benroyce Guy who lashes out with tribalism accusations who is too chickenshit to distance himself from the #antizionist hate mob, which outright supports Iran btw, is kind of a funny motif. Thanks for that, #GenocideLibeler.

@jamesmarshall @benroyce Yes, I have read the definition. No one needs your #tokenism, bigoted antizionist. Anything else?

@8124

me: "you're playing word games instead of admitting the obvious"

you: {proceeds to demonstrate exactly what i accuse you of, with some bonus hilarious "no, u!" grade school level hilarity, proving my point)

israel committed genocide in gaza

i'm sorry you can't deal with that

until you do, you're not a serious person

@jamesmarshall @benroyce Yes, I have read the definition. No one needs your #tokenism, bigoted antizionist. Anything else?

@8124 @jamesmarshall

yes: cope harder, genocide apologist loser

@8124 @benroyce what do you mean by "tokenism"? What did I say that was either bigoted *or* antizionist? Or do you just get offended by simple facts?

@8124 @benroyce what do you mean by "tokenism"? What did I say that was either bigoted *or* antizionist? Or do you just get offended by simple facts?

@jamesmarshall @benroyce You know exactly what tokenism is.

You know it very well.

Be serious or go away.

@jamesmarshall @8124

welcome to the world of manufacturing fake outrage in an attempt to deflect from accepting reality someone doesn't like

it's a pretty sad, hilarious and cringe psychological state some people exist in, isn't it?

@8124 @benroyce no, I really don't, not in this context. You answered none of my questions, which were asked sincerely.

@benroyce People who hurl #GenocideLibel are deeply unserious.

I’m sorry you’re such a racist antizionist.

Antizionism == Israel-hatred, is that simple enough for you?
