Fighting for the freedom of Palestinians or African Americans only offends you if your worldview and way of life is rooted in the oppression of those folk.

Fighting for the human rights and dignity of Palestinians is no more anti-Semitic than fighting for the human rights and dignity of African Americans is anti-white. It’s an old ploy of white supremacists to position advocacy this way.

If my human rights offend you, that tells me you are a colonizer.

Can you share what credentials or expertise you have on the highly complex issue of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict that allow you to speak to this with such authority? You have a legion of followers/fans, & as such, you should be extra prudent in how you speak.
-
I have credentials in that field and what Shaun stated is accurate and correct judging by local and international sources. What's the problem?
-
i am not even suggesting he is right or wrong here. but he uses strong (some may even consider inflammatory) language & has likened the conflict to apartheid in South Africa. Those are big claims! He has tons of followers & is highly influential, so its important to be accurate.
-
not acknowleding ANY level of nuance or complex history when making those claims seems problematic to me, given his influence.
-
he is an expert in american social issues & his perspectives there are appreciated! but to posit himself as an expert on this feels wrong to me.
-
Are you saying that we shouldn't condemn snipers killing unarmed protestors and children in cold blood?
-
nothing i have said has in any way suggested that. i would hope we could disagree in good faith.
-
Can you make a clear statement that what the IDF is doing today is reprehensible?

Its complicated Shaun, long term Palestinians have blood on their hands, but they are human beings, so caging them in poverty is not acceptable. This Embasy thing was intended to light a match. I am sickened by the lack of humanity all around.

This is what happens when a country is governed by corrupted business men. They despise human basic values and principles and just follow money and power.

When Jesus was teaching how important it was to love your neighbor, and was asked "Who is my neighbor" - the parable he told, it was a Samaritan - whom the Jews of his day generally disliked. Today, that same parable would use a Palestinian.
