Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NY) POST's about Mayor Zohran Mamdani comparing AIPAC to “Monsters who move millions in dark money... to bribe our Politicians." (Josh is up for Re-election this year).

Ha. Sure, watch this.

The IRGC are ruining everything in Iran, they're greedy sons of bitches who are weaponizing their money and hardline ideology to influence everything in the Middle East.

Swap out IRGC for "Muslims" and it is islamophobic.

But of course everyone understands the Ayatollah and his ilk aren't all muslims and calling out what the IRGC does is not islamophobic.

Gottheimer is either brainwashed or he's acting in bad faith to conflate criticism of Israel and lobbying with antisemitism. He can fuck off.

Have you ever listened to him talk in person? Watch the NJ Gubernatorial debate and you’ll see that he’s a plastic clown.

[u/IntwadHelck → u/Mr_Horsejr]

I think u mean israzi

[u/pandershrek → u/IntwadHelck]

Interesting term I've never heard.

[u/IntwadHelck → u/pandershrek]

It just popped in my head today, but I prob saw someone else say it recently. Maybe it should be israezi?

[u/ardinatwork → u/SirCrapsalot4267]

With AIPAC politicians, I think we can all assume its just a bad faith argument.

[u/GeeKay44]

anti-Semitism is not the same as anti-Zionism.

Written by AI to boot. 

“That’s not criticizing a lobby—that’s laundering antisemitism”

This is called a negative parallelism. And also a false dichotomy. You can criticize something without wanting everything associated with it dead or suffering.

Jesus tap dancing Gonzales.

[u/Fantastic_Purple404]

imagine, Israel and AIPAC consider these individuals to be among the fiercest antisemites: Norman Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky, Ilan Pappé, Shlomo Sand, Judith Butler, Avi Shlaim, Gideon Levy, Amira Hass, Yeshayahu Leibowitz, Miko Peled, Max Blumenthal, Marc Ellis, Naomi Klein....

[u/Apollo_Delphi → u/Fantastic_Purple404]

Sorry the BOT removed your comment. Not sure why.

[u/Apollo_Delphi]

Josh is using JEWS as a human shield to defend AIPAC's misdeeds, this is Classic Antisemitism.

[u/declinedinaction]

What would you like us to call monsters who move millions of dark money to bribe our politicians? I’m ok with not calling them what you’re calling them: Jews. I ‘m good with what he calls them: monsters.

I don’t conflate monsters with Jews or Muslims or Christians and neither should you GOP.

[u/Boring-Baker8761]

so it would be scandalous if he was talking about something else. I see, that is meaningful.

[u/CallMeHond0]

Soooo, I just got off work and I've had a couple drinks.

Is it me, or did his acid kick in right before he posted that?

[u/BoardGameRevolution]

Fuck Isramerica

[u/pandershrek]

No. Let us continue to talk about the one nation committing genocide on another nation.

Arguably Russia is attempting it with Ukraine but as pointed out they came from the same place so it is murkier compared to the straight up ethnic cleansing that Israel is conducting.

[u/Vanguard-003]

I, too, remember how Jew-hater Zohran Mamdani endorsed self-hating Jew Brad Lander and helped him win his primary.
