re: #325 Sergey Romanov

I don’t think SFZ overgeneralized at all. She said a “bunch of” and it does exist.

Sure. But I don’t think it is characteristic of lefties in general, or even of the lefties I’ve encountered who generally oppose Israel’s policies regarding Palestinians. I’d say it is a fair characterization (with your caveat of being willing to “back burner” some issues as opposed to being indifferent to them) of a “bunch of” lefties I know who are activists in opposing Israel’s policies regarding Palestinians - but even a minority of those.

Here’s my problem - the tone that I hear is not completely dissimilar to the “white guild” nonsense thrown out from the rightwing regarding racial issues.

I’m open to whether that tonality is a product of my thinking rather than what she says or means.
