This is what this cowardly, vile, hateful person sent me by Private Mention.

@Remittancegirl wtf! I'm sorry you have to deal with this vile nonsense. Thank you for speaking out!
@SRDas No worries at all. It really doesn't phase me. But I do think it needs to be publicly shamed.

@Remittancegirl I’m not Jewish (my wife is culturally) but looking at the people we know, one of the things I hold against Netanyahu is equating criticism of the Israeli hard-right with antisemitism. It’s left so many people unsure about their friends and acquaintances, inspiring withdrawal, and long-term that’s playing right into the hands of some very dark conspiracist circles. He’s probably not going to live long enough to see the full damage but I fear the bill will be steep.
@acdha I agree.
But ultimately we are each of us a singular human who is ethically answerable to ourselves. Being of one group or another doesn't excuse us from the obligation to act and speak ethically. Right?
I am not my 'tribe'. I am me.

@acdha Or to torture Groucho Marx:
I would never want to be part of a club that wouldn't want someone like me as a member.
So I don't worry about not being accepted by a certain segment of diaspora Jews who've been brainwashed to defend the Israeli state no matter what it does.
I'm frankly super happy NOT to be a member of that club.

I hope you both reported them. -
@BinChicken I don't think I was his target. Poor @AnnieBuddy was.
But that is besides the point. What a horrible thing to direct message in secret to anyone, right?
Who needs that kind of hatefulness in their private messages?
-
@webhat Many thanks
@Remittancegirl it looks like my instance works fast, they are already suspended
-
@MFennVT Thank you so much.
@Remittancegirl You're welcome. Thanks for letting us know about it.
-
@BinChicken Heheh. I don't know, but it's why I screen shot it and made it public.
We need a lot more public humiliation of these sick, hateful motherfuckers.
-
@Remittancegirl Well said.
@Eetschrijver Merci!

@arrrg Well, he's not allowed to hide behind this Jew.
I doubt he is even a Jew. There’s a lot of people who crawl out of cracks when they think there’s a chance of creating victims and it has nothing to do with religion.
-
@Remittancegirl On it. The asshole.
@Eetschrijver Many thanks!

I want to be extremely clear on this matter:
1. This private message was unsolicited.
2. I AM a Jew. And calling out the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza is an ethical act that everyone who calls themself a Jew should be supportive of.
3. These fuckers who portray everything as a zero sum game are psychopaths.
4. Ensuring a safe and decent life for Palestinians does NOT preclude Israelis from having one too. To falsely paint it as a zero sum game is to promote genocide. -
@Remittancegirl coward didn’t have the guts to publicly spew this vileness.
Blocked and boosted.
What a disgusting view of the world.
@CynAq Also, not a coherent view of the world.
It's actually an extremely Nazi view of the world. Very zero sum game.
-
@Remittancegirl that's horrific. Blocked. I'm sorry you received such an awful message
@Tattooed_Mummy It's pretty rare on Mastodon. And I think the act of calling it out immediately is probably what keeps this place a little saner than other platforms. So I did!
I'm fine. Water off a duck's back to me. It's the Palestinians I worry about.
-
@akareilly I do find that some Germans, overcompensating for some historic wrongs, tend to feel they need to defend the state of Israel no matter what horrific shit they're doing.
Well no. In fact, that's what got Germany into trouble in the first place. Mindless loyalty to anything is the beginning of fascism.

@Su_G Thank you so much. Every little helps!
