You know, if you're totally ignorant about a subject and don't even know who the heck people being referenced are, you can just choose not to post replies about it instead of trying to stumble and bs your way through it. This isn't some awkward in person social interaction where you have to smile and nod and pretend. Natan Sharansky, who you have never heard of until today, did not spring into existence just 3 days ago with a column in Tablet. He's been a politician, activist and leader of counter-anti-semitism organizations with a particularly well known theoretical framework for how to define antisemitism and distinguish it from legitimate criticism of israel. You know, the topic we were talking about. The guy who actually codified what qualities define antisemitism and used his personal history of combating a regime that weaved that line of antizionism and antisemitism in its oppression.
Where is he a politican?
I already explained why his opinion does not prove what you want it to and you didn't address that, just tried to obfuscate it once again. Funny how despite him being such a good source you chose to quote the ADL instead, just grabbing the first sources that confirm your beliefs I guess?

The crowd was cheering and clapping its approval. You just made some absolutely baseless insinuation of a false flag conspiracy theory in a throwaway comment, all too ironically to support your point trying to distance yourself from antisemitic tropes. I saw that crowd with my own eyes, I know it was real, you're here trying to spin some wild line about doubting its authenticity.
Just to be clear the cheering and clapping you are referring to is that one video of the hamas member driving past on an ATV, where one person in the crowd goes "woooooo!"?
So the right wing accusations of nazi flag wavers being feds is realistic but accusing the masked hamas guy of being one is insane conspiracy?
I don't care about distancing myself from antisemitic tropes because I care about accuracy more than virtue signaling. I'm not antisemitic and don't need to prove it to you or anyone else, you can assume I am if you like though. Again this behaviour is hilarious to see from the right who for years has complained about this sort of slander from leftists.

And that's really all you've got at this point, isn't it? Telling us not to believe our own eyes? That's why I like freedom of speech so much. You can't defend the people shouting their support for another holocaust. If you could censor them, you could pretend they didn't hold their terrorist sympathies. Well I've always said to believe nazis and terrorists when they tell you what they are, and boy do they love waving Hamas flags and Swastikas in public
This is an amazing display of mental gymnastics. It is funny how emotional and ridiculous you behave when you can't rely on facts, you are acting just like leftists have for years. The funniest part of all of this is that even if you were correct about any of this nonsense it would not justify the ethnic cleansing taking place at the moment.
All it took for you to regress 20 years into a George Dubya JR republican was a couple lies from the Israeli government. You have been radicalized by leftist ideology to such an extent you base your worldview on it even though you oppose it. You can't differentiate between Palestinians and the people you despise in your own country and the scariest thing is despite conflating the two your preferred method of solving the problem is ethnic cleansing.
