Again I don’t know if that’s something she actually does in her video, and I’m not really inclined to find out. I very much agree with you that this is something that Happens and that it’s Bad. I don’t know if she’s to blame for any of that and I don’t know her so I don’t care right now.

The Jewish People will yet survive if I don’t get around to having knowledge or opinions about Lindsay Ellis until next year or the year after or maybe ever.

I admit the thing actually ticking me off is the likely continued conflating of the motivations of shitty Christians with those of angry, hurting Jews.

Sure, but I do think we should give due credit to left/liberal gentiles who talk about these things in the ways we are always saying we wish they would. Or to at least not shit on them based on absolutely nothing. You are not doing that but some other folks sure are and it’s irresponsible.

If they don’t have it in them to see for themselves, I don’t blame them. But we shouldn’t be discouraging other people in our community based on rumors of unknown origin. Especially since she’s using this video as a fundraiser and has raised over 400K so far for the PCRF. That’s not insignificant.

If you (editorial you) are going to accuse someone doing actual good of flirting with antisemitism, you’d better be confident in that judgment. And if you jump to conclusions on no evidence, you’re lending validity to the idea that nobody can talk about Gaza without being accused of antisemitism.

And that is used to discredit us when we talk about *actual* leftist antisemitism. Which is also bad.
