Hate for Israelis who speak out is not an authentic resistance motivation. It comes from wounded egos and compromised understandings. No one is asking anyone to idolize them. No one claims they come first or are more important that anyone else. They don't. No one denies that they (we) have immense privilege in terms of much greater freedom of expression than Palestinians have, inside and outside 1948 borders, and also access to capital and certain establishments. What better and more justified use of any privilege is there other than using it to denounce end it? I can't speak for others, but I never wanted anything that other people are prevented from having in the system I live in. This is why I chose out, and this is why I chose to use my voice to denounce any aspect of it. And I know for sure that I am not the only one. Don't watch Israeli films if you don't want to. Promote all the Palestinian talent you want. I'll help you. But hate for people who expose what's going on from within is misguided, and plain stupid - People want a convenient and comforting dichotomy. But this kind of bad thinking is what brought us here. The point of fighting injustice was never denying some other group of people their humanity (feminism is not served by hating and dehumanizing men). It always was, and always will be, creating a more just and more equal system - after bringing down the unjust and often colonial one. But some people cannot rise above obsessing over characters and personalities, instead of systemic failures and toxic narratives. People like these should never be the leaders of anything. Whatever people who think like this lead, or set the tone of, will always end up in failure. - This is precisely emblematic of why the Western left has failed to produce one inspiring leader in perhaps 2 generations. It is being led by small people who think small and never inspired a single fly in their sterile life
