@celesteh @aral @Mastodon I’m genuinely quite tired of having to defend myself from stuff I’ve never written, but I’ll try it one last time.
When I say “we shouldn’t buy oranges and dates from Israel unless we are reasonably confident that they were not grown on stolen land” would you react with a “oh are you telling me that I shouldn’t eat oranges?”
When I say “we shouldn’t allow Muslim education in our countries if they have suspicious ties with people from the Salafi movement or other hardcore religious groups that may pose a threat to the national security and cohesion” would you react with a “oh are you telling me that Muslims can’t read the Quran in your country?”
When I say “we should avoid supporting Holocaust foundations if they have IDF senior members sitting in their boards, if they haven’t taken a strong position against all genocides, including the one perpetrated right now by their own country, if they don’t even reinvest our money to keep their own records of the victims up-to-date, and if they betray their mission of peace by having social media content and tone comparable with that of an IDF general” would you react with “oh are you telling me that Jews can’t commemorate their own dead?”
Come on, stop insulting my intelligence and your own and don’t try to convince me that principles are supposed to be followed only when they don’t affect the people or topics that you’re biased towards.
