Not the best article as it’s mainly meant to appeal to liberals, as I was told recently, and convince those sitting on the fence. People’s World does this from time to time as it has 2 million subscribers, at least, so the audience is much broader. Hopefully, you’ll understand, though I know many will criticize this article, rightfully for certain things.
Victor Grossman was someone that defected to the GDR (or DDR) and defended the GDR/DDR as well as the wider Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries.
For the record, I do not believe that what happened on October 7th was reported accurately at all.
Sure, anti-semitism needs to be combatted, but did anyone ever say it didn’t? I could understand if they even mentioned any instance of anti-semitic attacks, but they didn’t even do that…?
I’m getting a very ALM vs BLM kinda vibe.
The article is meant to ask, basically, fence-sitters to join the fight and basically change their minds.
I’ve seen anti-Semitic attacks rise, but obviously, Islamophobia has also risen.
I think they didn’t mention anti-Semitic attacks because this was mainly about the Palestininan people and partly how “anti-Semitism” is used as camouflage for Israel’s actions.
