I talked to @shaneburley.bsky.social about why using terms like "ZOG" is an actual fucking problem.
"This is in no way a neutral descriptive term," says Shane Burley.
I highly recommend that people read the article, even if only the background part as to why the acronym is a problem. Had I not read it, I might have not seen a problem, but we have a problem. We need to be careful not to repeat the errors of the past. This is liable to become a big problem.
This is an incredibly thoughtful discussion; really appreciate this.
This is oddly passive: "when the Palestine movement actually allows real antisemitism to stand, they end up lending credence to the allegations." Actual antisemitism is the thing itself, not something that "lends credence to allegations". It's not like allegations can be both false and true.
