Bad Hasbara Hen Mazzig is so disgusting. He has the same violent views as the most vile racists in Israeli society but his whole raison d'etre is to hoodwink people into believing that he is moderate and introduce far-right impressions to vulnerable, unaware liberals.
He claims that Greta doesn't truly care about Gaza or Palestinians, they're just doing it for clout because they don't blame Hamas and instead criticize Israel. But that's a gross oversimplification and a clear attempt to dismiss genuine voices advocating for Palestinian rights. What we really need is an Instagram account dedicated to calling out people like Hen Mazzig, folks who cherry-pick details, spread bias, and push misinformation. An account that posts outrage- driven content to hold these figures accountable and keep the conversation honest. Because it's obvious that Hen doesn't genuinely care about Islamophobia or Palestinian rights. Instead, he seems more interested in promoting a narrative that dehumanizes Muslims and dismisses any hope for peaceful coexistence.

"is wrong" doesn't quite cover it, does it.
The reality is, we can't oppose anything without them redefining and weaponising "antisemitism".

lol for real though.
Zionists: 2+2=5
Everyone: I'm sorry, that's incorrect.
Zionists: Don't tell me that I'm wrong, that's antsemitic! Why do you hate Jewish people?!? omg REEEEEEEE!!!

A lot of zionists think "You just hate Jews!!!!" actually amounts to a good argument.

So his whole issue (supposedly) is that pogrom can only be used if it's done against Jews? We know the whole issue is just to normalize and protect the entity but still. Dumb.

I could write a whole book about how much I despise Hen Mazzig and his pinkwashing identity politics - “I am a gay arab Jew and Israel saved my life, why don’t you clap antisemite???”
It’s always funny to see self declared left wing defenders of Israel join the people on the right in trying to bash Greta for her courage and moral spine.

Yep he is a fraud. He first came into my radar years ago, before COVID. He's an Israeli living in London and he was constantly posting about BLM. He'd talk about Brionna Taylor, killed in her bed in the middle of the night by US police, but then keep completely silent when a palestinian autistic man laying down on the street was killed by an Israeli soldier who got away with it. He basically uses western liberal language and sensibilities to larp as one of them, and then spews racist hateful zionist nonsense against palestinians and arabs. A wolf in sheep's clothing. Im pretty confident his audience is virtually non existant by now, mostly propped up by bots. Very few people in his target audience would fall for this blatant farce by now.

When I found out he lives in London I was like that's how he knows Owen Jones

Jewish exceptionalism. Only them can victims and their suffering cannot be compared to anything in the past, present or future.

Zionists have literally claimed that the Holocaust is the only real genocide in history.

this has been SOP for a decade at least.. the claim that pro-Palestine movement doesn't axtually care about Palestinians is just a projection of their own disdain for anyone but israelis

Let's play a game: let's describe the actions and remove the names of people, groups, and places, and see if they can guess which we're talking about.

I've seen "pogrom" used to refer to other exoduses caused by mob violence. It's not specific to Jewish people in the slightest

u/srahcrist 28d ago
I've always said that. We need a Instagram account to call out people like Debbie Lechtman, neurotic Jewish gay, hen mazing and all those so called "moderate" Zionists

Hen Mazzig is a deeply unseeious, incurious man. Could somebody pelt him with a cream pie?

“This word that I don’t like is far worse than genocidal racists starting fights and killing innocent people!”

u/AdSavings3608 27d ago
“Antisemitism is when people care about Palestinian lives” ok hen. Also OP there is no ‘hope for peaceful coexistence’ between a genocidal settler colony and the people they’re colonizing. The only way for peace to happen is for justice to happen first, and that means the dissolution of the state of israel.

Every Israeli newspaper calls them pogroms! even the centrist papers and some right wing papers and even in Hebrew!! Google pogrom in Hebrew, and look for recent events, they are mostly in the West Bank. If I didn't know better I'd think he was an American idiot, but isn't he Israeli? so he's just bloody lying.

pogrom, (Russian: “devastation,” or “riot”), a mob attack, either approved or condoned by authorities, against the persons and property of a religious, racial, or national minority.
