Did she? I watched the video and it just sounds like she’s expressing support for Palestine and suggesting others do the same.

Well, she did say some fucked up things. But the other people mentioned in the article who were forced to resign basically just said “I’m against genocide” and were labeled as antisemites. That’s fucked up too.

If being against genocide is antisemitic, genocide is an inherent trait of Judaism - if that’s the case, there’s a pretty strong argument to be made that they should be wiped out. It’s an incredibly stupid, antisemitic claim to make.

The other person, not people, mentioned was Maha Dakhil. She still works at CAA. She resigned from its Board. It’s not like she’s homeless. She had to resign from a leadership position. That’s all.

Oh only being demoted for opposition to genocide, yeah that’s fine she’s not homeless at least!

She suffered a minor professional consequence for republishing fake news and amplifying inflammatory content. Don’t like it? Move your business from CAA…

What did Susan say that was fucked up? I didn’t see anything terrible in the article itself

She’s being shitty to American Jews for something Israel’s government is doing and being overly indifferent to, if not supporting antisemitic violence in America.
She didn’t have to do that to make the point that American Muslims are also being treated badly and live in fear of retaliatory violence every time any Muslim commits a crime anywhere.

That’s a bit of a stretch to jump to that conclusion, but OK

The worst part of what she said is that it dismisses the rampant antisemitism that the US has in its history and the continued antisemitism that Jews still suffer in the US to this day. Should people attack American citizens due to US government foreign policy? Because that’s what she’s implying is ok for American Jews due to Israeli Government actions.
