Former Biden diplomat says there’s ‘no question’ that ‘free Palestine’ slogan has become a call for violence

A former Biden diplomat declared on Thursday that the "Free Palestine" slogan has become a "call for violence."

Following the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers earlier this week, former Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism under President Biden, Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, told CNN that no matter what "Free Palestine" meant originally, it has become a slogan urging violent attacks against Jewish people.

"I think there’s no question, whatever its initial intent and whatever people were saying initially or meant it, it has become a call for violence, and not violence against Israelis — which is wrong — but violence against Jews," she told CNN "Inside Politics" host Dana Bash.

Is "Stop the Genocide" the same thing?

Unlike the call for "ethnic cleansing"?

So it has become. The MAGA lie is that it has always been that way.

"Free Palestine" is a slogan said around the world. Even from Jews in Israel itself.
It means free the people of Palestine from the genocidal policies of Israel.
This comment by a former Biden officials does not change that.

Israel does not have genocidal policies against Palestine. However, for decades, militant and terrorists and the army of Hamas had been using Gaza as a haven to fire thousands of missiles and rockets into the nation of Israel.

Record breaking whataboutism. The topic is about how "Free Palistine" has morphed into a call for violence against Jews. Not about Israelis.

What does MAGA have to do with the topic. Trump taking the free real-estate?

Their blockade policies are literally starving them out.

That is unfortunate. How horrible is it that Hamas would prefer the suffering of their own people rather than releasing their hostages.

It is MAGA that is forcing the definition of antisemitism on any criticism or protest of Israeli or US policy.

Yes. It has always been our thing. You know that brain drain machine that the Riddler used in that Batman movie? It is a real thing that we are currently using.

Yes, unfortunate and caught in the middle, but the policies of Israel is still genocide.

Yes. And we have infiltrated the minds of Democrat appointed diplomats and planted these falsehoods in their minds.

Not even close. I'm asking if "Free Palestine" significantly different from "Stop Genocide!"?

"Free Palestine" is all about Israelis, particularly Jewish Israelis. Unfortunately, too many people can't distinguish between the Israelis and their sympathizers who are actively exterminating the Palestinians.

No, you're not that good. I notice that the Diplomat did not assert that Moslems have been calling for the death of Jews since before WW I That's why MAGA has to deny the faith of Jews who are critical of Israeli policy.

Yes. We are that good. Remember that brain drain machine I told you about? It not only siphon other's intelligence, but it also puts false memories in their minds.

"Free Palestine" is all about Israelis, particularly Jewish Israelis. Unfortunately, too many people can't distinguish between the Israelis and their sympathizers who are actively exterminating the Palestinians.

“from river to sea Palestine will be free” is a call to free the land of Palestine from all Jewish occupation. In other words, they want the entire land for themselves and refuse to share it with Jews. Palestinian would exterminate all Jews from Palestine ( river to sea) if they had the power. The only reason Israelis are thriving is that Palestinians are not sufficiently strong or powerful.

For peace, Palestinians must reject Hamas and their goal of liberating Palestine entirely, and instead accept a two-state solution.

I am unsure of what this diplomat said, but Moslems have been calling for the death of Jews since Muhammad.

Is that the same as "Stop the Genocide" or "Free Palestine?

That's a broad brush you're painting all Palestinians with.

Well, maybe not the only reason. Several billions of dollars a year from the US alone helps, as does the wall and blockades.

Hamas was not part of the West Bank yet the settlers have been murdering them for a long time now - they are trying to "clear out" the West Bank as well as Gaza.
