'In other words, Jew lives DON'T matter': Jonah Platt says YEAH, #BLM has said some very anti-Semitic things BUUUT that’s ok

If someone ever asks you for an example of a really, really, really bad tweet, like one of the worst tweets EVER, show them this garbage from Jonah Platt:

Yes, #BLM has said very anti-Israel & anti-Semitic things before. Yes, we will need to deal with that at some point. NO, that time is not now. NO, you cannot use that one slice of the BLM platform as an excuse to abandon your moral obligation to fight racism & white supremacy

Ooh, Jonah, dude … bad tweet. Bad.

Basically.

If not now, when?

If you care about anti-Semitism you’re not meeting your moral obligation to fight racism and white supremacy … or something.

Hmm. Let me consider that. pic.twitter.com/36KvfpRibU

So you're say you will get to the Jews later?

— scott coleman (@bandphan) June 22, 2020

Nah, we'll deal with that now.

Seriously.

Sure, BLM is a bigoted organization, but it is just anti-Semitism so you should just over look it? This tweet is a doozy!

Bigotry in any form, from any group cannot be excused

You can f*ck right off. YES, that time is always right fucking now. YES, we absolutely can and should use BLM's open hostility to Jews, not as excuse, but as a real reason to question the underlying motives and ultimate goals.

YOU don't get to pretend to be taking a higher road.

Is Jonah really trying to make the argument that some bigotry is ok right now? It just seems really stupid.

Being very anti-semitic is not a big deal, you guys.

All bigotry is equal. I guess some are just more equal than others?

This. Is beyond dumb.

So, "shut up, Jew, and get on the train. We'll figure out how to get you out of that camp when we feel up to it." That's sweet.
