She's right to be against the genocide, but claiming "this conflict is THOUSANDS of years old" doesn't make any sense. Zionism got its start in the late 19th century

She's just a lib who is trying her best. You can tell because she thinks signing petitions is a meaningful action.
Settler colonialism isn't a topic they would normally oppose unless they see 100s of examples of children bleeding out.
Much easier for them to understand it as a holy war where one side went overboard than understanding Zionism as the modern incarnation of manifest destiny or lebensraum.

"Vegan" Zionists are unfortunately not as uncommon as you'd think...
I can't imagine the type of mindset it takes to think that Palestinians are less worthy of life then animals.
I notice that, believe it or not, sometimes veganism attracts the "facts and logic" kind of people who can come to somewhat of a principled, philosophical understanding as to why they should support veganism by thinking it out for a bit, but in that thought process, they forget that veganism is also fundamentally rooted in opposing oppression systemically. It's not a coincidence that radical animal liberation orgs tend to be explicitly leftist or even simply that leftism and veganism oftentimes go hand-in-hand.
yeah veganism has a very wide amount of partakers, i've seen nazi vegans, and of course you lovely commie vegans, zionist vegans, anarcho capitalist vegans,
uh racism
its racism and loving your dog
thats uh liberal veganism
Hitlerism
Liberal Zionists are, very often, the insufferable trendy kind that think they're smarter than everyone else because they have a subscription to the New York Crimes.
The first big-ish vegan YouTuber I stumbled across turned out to be misogynistic and transphobic. Like, way more than the average Westerner. It was kinda jarring after most of the vegans I'd met IRL, all but one of whom were lovely.
Calling for genocide based on diet is an actual thing. See any reddit comment thread about dog meat
I was semi-active in some animal liberation circles and the amount of Zionists and "centrists" ("noo don't cut XYZ off, they are a good activist, can't we put politics aside???") is disgusting. But while it has its heart in the right place opposing animal commodification, vegan activism has always been thoroughly lib, so not exactly surprising.
How can you support Muslims when they celebrate eid al Adha
You joke, but George Martin of an Instagram page titled "carnism_debunked" has effectively unironically made this argument:
[CW: Islamophobic "Vegan" Zionist Garbage]
if one is sabotaging Israeli activists and their activism due to Israeli attitudes and government actions, shouldn't the same be said of Palestine and the backward attitude of many Palestinians towards animals and human rights issues?
Jesus fucking Christ...
We shouldn't support Palestine as vegans because Pakistan oppresses women
We cannot allow Americans to hold signs advocating for an end to poverty while children are being shot in the head for going to school
We cannot allow Americans.

Vegan Gains

Oh wow writing to representatives. That's gonna do a lot.

Just depends on your writing implements
Awh sweet, Patty is confirmed cool? Hell yeah
Damn, Leanbeefpatty on the right side of history. She's so cool and I'm gonna leave it at that before someone runs in with a bonkstick.
Why am I not surprised vegan gains is an Israel apologists
Zero surprise indeed, total sack of shit
I thought he (vegan gains) was already a fascist? I'm so confused by internet drama
Don't make the equivocation, man...
Fascist can be Zionists...
True! My guess is this guy is not in good faith at all.
the only reason i know about him is he did a debate about veganism with and asked him if he was consistent and if in his stance that since there was no ethical consumption under capitalism he thought it was perfectly moral to consume child porn too and said he thought that it definitely wasnt immoral which got clipped like a bazillion times
He's been a huge arsehole for over a decade, no idea about his politics though
Yeah I had vague memories of him being bad
yeah me too... I can't remember what it was, but i was getting the yuck from him way before i was into politics and knew more about stuff. That the is so fuzzy, it feels like it was 10 years ago
Haven't heard of him in a decade? I remember he admitted to being a sociopath
Just
hmm. was not aware of her.

mommy sorry mommy sorry mommy sorry mommy sorry
"You support oppressed peoples = antisemite"
Quite a leap to arrive at that conclusion.
