edit update: I'm not trolling. I'm sincerely asking. for real. I don't get it. why is it okay for a mass email condemning this guy with a formal investigation?
I mean this very sincerely, in as much good faith as I can muster. I don't understand why the use of this phrase is worth all this outrage, Israel has a system that in many ways seems to be apartheid in favor of it's Jewish citizens. It's flag has a massive star of David on it, the Jewish religious symbol. It feels like a case of wanting it both ways, it's the Jewish state, for Jews, and it's symbol is the Jewish religious symbol and yet somehow it's unfair to describe it as Jewish supremacy? I'm white and I understand that white supremacy is very much a problem, I'm capable of understanding that, and I don't shut down when I hear the phrase.
So far all I've heard, over and over again, is that it's extremely offensive and anyone who uses it must be a raging antisemite. It feels like if you drop a bomb with a religious symbol on a group of people who aren't of that religion you might get accused of being Jewish Supremacist. Much like how acknowledging white supremacy doesn't mean you want to get rid of all the crackers, I don't think acknowledging Jewish supremacy means you want to get rid of all the Jews.
