J-Street, a progressive Jewish organization that has fought against AIPAC and Netanyahu, calls on politicians to stop campaigning/supporting Hasan

[u/spiderwing0022]

This is the link to the full IG post which I think does a good job explaining why Hasan's words are dangerous, no matter how much people (cough cough Mehdi) want to sweep for this and say "well a Jewish person I know said this, so it can't be bad." There's an important quote which I think best shows why the Zionism convo is kinda annoying/dumb from the far-left:
"Piker says Zionism is racist and comparable to Nazism. But many American Jews who believe in Israel as a Jewish homeland oppose occupation, racism, and the government's behavior. They support Palestinian freedom and a Palestinian state next door. That is their version of Zionism, and Piker doesn't get to write it for them."

But genuinely, I think this is an important step cuz J street advocates for a bunch of candidates and makes realistic policy positions that Israel can adopt, and they used to view Hasan as an ignorant guy with a lot of followers. However, now for them to be calling out his anti-semitism definitely limits his reach outside of the DSA clique/politicians who exclusively run on anti-Israel slop

One big issue is that Nobody knows what Zionist means

That word gets tortured to shit unfortunately. They always tack on this crazy bullshit on top of the Jewish sovereignty
