A coop goes BDS and everyone is an antisemite now.

    I love the one complaining that she was accused of supporting a genocide just because she supports a genocide. Top tier thinker.

    “Now the meetings have been overtaken by divisive politics. And now [the pro-BDS members] don’t care that many members of the co-op feel unwelcome and unsafe by their actions,” she said.

    It’s always the same basic line about how they “feel unsafe” just for even hearing someone discuss the genocide. How do you think people in Palestine feel? Hell, how do they think people in the US or UK feel when they are getting arrested for even discussing it?

    I think one of my friends is a member there, and said it’s been pretty wild. Some very long emails were sent around.

    I don’t know how anyone can still support Israel but here we are.

      I hope your friend is on the pro-boycott side!

      How did the Zionist people get someone voted in but not the pro-boycott side? It’s insane to me Israel still has support.

        i think it’s ignorance.

        it’s the same kind of ignorance that makes people think that npr is a worthwhile news source when they’ve also covered consent manufacturing narratives like fentanyl kitchens; just like the new york times did.
