Another fairy tale is that oppressed people all feel the same way about stuff.

There's plenty of example of gays standing up for transgendered rights.

Well, it's central to the culture wars that conservatives love the idea that people are individuals and don't cohere with stereotypical belief patterns based on their "identity". So you might want to look elsewhere for the people who tell the fairy tale that all oppressed people think alike. I mean what idea do you think intersectionality is founded on?

@jon-nyc why? Just curious.

It just seems like a queer thing to do.

I don’t think being gay makes one necessarily on the left

Perfect example in Israel, this guy in bibis government is openly gay and is a right wing wing nut

But maybe it’s not the same here as in the US, Israel, with all its political controversy has always been pretty gay tolerant

Rick Grenell, former acting DNI and former ambassador to Germany is openly gay.

I just remember hearing how Trump was not only an anti-Semite (despite having Jared as a son-in-law) and anti-gay.

I don't even know what intersectionality means and what's more I'm not looking it up.

It sounds like more American gobbledygook to me.

[Horace]

It's the idea that all oppressed identities should exist under the banner of the left, which is where they all intersect in their struggle for utopian equality for all.

I'm totally sick of the American left.

If I had to vote, I think I'd throw myself down a well.

As if I needed to say it, this in no way expresses any support whatsoever for the American right, who are a complete bunch of twats.

I don't know if he is or isn't an anti-semite, but saying he's not only because he has a Jewish SIL doesn't mean anything.

Ok. How about this, then...

He officially recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Something Israel has asked the US to do since the 50s, something no president before Trump was willing to do. He is bringing about peace in the middle East, something no US president was capable of before him. That's just two of many things he's done that proves he's not anti Semitic.

It's just more of the same shit the demo rats/left/Socialists throw at him. Don't call someone a name unless you can back it up with proof. It's typical of the Left- "you're racist. Now prove you're not."

State of the art leftist thought is that you're a racist and it's impossible that you're not.

Maybe it's because he did something no other President has done...Moved America's embassy to Jerusalem.

A semite is

"a member of any of a number of peoples of ancient southwestern Asia including the Akkadians, Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Arabs"

It covers most people in the middle east, so it is possible to dislike some of them and like others and still be considered anti- semite. LOL

A rather bigoted person I knew once said, "I'm not an anti-Semite. I have nothing against the Arabs."
