    Do you know what Norman Finkelstein wrote about lefties in campusses? Time to throw him onder the bus too!

    Yeah which is why I don’t look to him for opinions about “culture war” issues. (Actually, the real reason I’m hinky on Finkelstein is that he doesn’t support BDS. He did do transphobia a long time ago, but I believe he apologized for his previous position. I don’t really care if he doesn’t like “woke” or whatever; he’s basically yelling at a strawman.) Difference between him and BE is Finkelstein has actually done original work. But yes actually, we should be looking for better anti-Zionist voices than Finkelstein.

    And btw, I never even said to take down the post. I added a comment saying that BE is a shitty person, implying that you should take his opinion with a grain of salt. Same with Finkelstein. It’s completely and utterly acceptable and reasonable to add a footnote when shitty people say serviceable things.

    Cool can you go ahead and condemn Hamas now because they aren’t LGBT friendly enough?

    Hell no I won’t. I condemn LGBT-phobia done by Hamas, but you know damn well that Hamas’s supposed LGBT-phobia is exaggerated for propaganda. Good job doing legwork for Zionists to own me in an argument, I’m feeling so fucking owned right now. Of course Hamas should be more LGBT friendly, which I feel is applicable to any and all organizations, even the ones I tolerate (I don’t really like anyone 100%, including myself), even LGBT-friendly organizations. I commend Hamas for their brave resistance against the Zionist entity.
