Jesse Singal has asked a really stupid question.
Can someone explain the connection to me? What does being a unionized auto worker have to do with Israel-Palestine?
A lot of great answers about how the labour movement has always cared about social justice and the well being of people other than just their members. BUT this is buying in to his game. It's buying into his framing - that only people who are directly affected could possibly have feelings about Gaza.
Fuck. That. Noise.
It's genocide. Everybody is justified in opposing genocide. That's not negotiable. That's international law. That's just a basic fucking part of being human.
Never Again. This doesn't mean "never again will we allow people to try to eradicate Jews" it means "never again will we allow people to eradicate another people". The Genocide Convention is about preventing genocide - it's so powerful because whenever there is a risk of genocide happening, all signatories have a positive obligation to prevent it. Even if it is happening to people other than Jews. Even if it is being perpetrated by Jews. The rule is No Genocide. And everybody is supposed to enforce that rule.
Here's the answer for Jesse. Here is the explanation he is looking for:
Jesse Singal, you are a stupid piece of shit. Just because you are incapable of granting basic fucking human dignity to those you don't like - that doesn't mean those hateful views are relevant outside your odious shrivelled little world. Hope that helps!
