    I dunno this Murray guy. He does seem to be a bigot however the petition is all over the place.

    Zionist Propagandist

    Zionism is just the idea of Jews having a state in that region. Some Zionists want the entire region which is unreasonable, not Zionism as such.

    In the same way that it is unreasonable when Palestinians want “from the river to the sea”. Palestinian statehood itself is reasonable.

    [Associated with] outlet that “keeps publishing white supremacists and anti-Semites”

    Denying Israel’s right to be in the region at all would be anti-Semitism. Much of the Left has now gone in that direction.

    Murray engaged in unabashed Holocaust revisionism by claiming that Hamas had surpassed the Nazis in their evil because the Nazis were “rarely proud” of “shooting Jews in the back of the head all day and kicking their bodies into pits.”

    We don’t know because there was no internet back then so it is a vacuous statement but Palestinians were boasting about the glory of October 7 on their smartphones.
