Holy STOOOPID, Batman! Matt Yglesias WALLOPED for Defending Lefties Spewing Anti-Semitism in Thread

Matt Yglesias put together this quite unpopular thread as an attempt to pretend Lefties spewing anti-Semitic nonsense don't really MEAN it that way.

And since he's being dragged for it we might as well Twitchy him.

It's what we do, after all.

Take a look:

The signature flaw of far-left activist groups on everything from climate to Palestine to housing to policing is refusing to engage in any kind of specific way with how anything is supposed to happen beyond mystifications about political will.

This sounds like a lot of gobbledy-gook to make him sound smarter than he really is about whatever it is he's about to talk about.

I take everyone at their word that when they say “Free Palestine from the river to the sea” they mean a secular democracy with equal rights for all and not “kill all the Jews.”

But how do you accomplish that? That’s not what Hamas is asking for or how they run Gaza.

— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) October 25, 2023

Except you know, that's not what they mean when they say that, Matt.

C'mon.

I am Jewish but I’m not particularly invested in Zionism as an idea, I personally enjoy living in a secular democracy. It’s a fine idea.

But then there’s Hamas entrenched in Gaza where the only way to fight them causes massive collateral damage and the answer is … ???

— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) October 25, 2023

Secular democracy.

Alrighty then.

A lot of Jewish people that I know are taking this sloppy thinking personally or feel it reveals an anti-Semitic core to the hard left.

But I’m a generalist so I know this is the kind of low-quality thinking they bring to every issue and it’s not about me.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s the international relations equivalent of saying we need to decommodify housing or solve crime with health care programs or address inflation by banning greed, just people who can’t think seriously about any topic.

— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) October 26, 2023

The irony of him talking about other people who can't think seriously about any topic.

In other news, Bibi Netanyahu has spent his whole career scuttling every chance at peace and a two-state solution because all he wants in life is to grab more of the West Bank and it sucks.

F**k him.

— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) October 26, 2023

Classy as ever.

So basically he's trying to say Leftists chanting horrible stuff don't really mean it? Maybe?

I don't. You chant Hamas slogans to support Hamas at a time when Hamas is committing atrocities, the burden is on you to show that you're not embracing Hamas. And that burden is a high & heavy one. https://t.co/3KVd0hRKkm

Yeah, what Dan said.

“We want Israel destroyed, a final solution for the Jews, and an Islamic state.”

Matt: “So what you’re telling me is you want a secular democracy where everyone lives peacefully.” https://t.co/RC34CFNky7 pic.twitter.com/RPu1tAX1jE

I take everyone at their word unless I disagree with them. 😟

— Gilligan (@GilligannGinger) October 26, 2023

I’ll gladly pay for your trip to Gaza to explain this.

Givers.

For people who aren't as naive as Matt.https://t.co/e35x2CIn7M

Ouch.

Wow. If I were you, I would delete this.

— GayLumberjack (@gay_lumberjack) October 26, 2023

But we all know he won't.

We can always count on Matt Yglesias to get it REALLY wrong. 

Atta boy.
