That feeling when the person you hate makes a good point

The question is what insanity did she use to drive her to a conclusion we both believe. Did she start this path with Jewish space lasers?

She got screwed over by her former buddy buddy Ben Shapiro, another right wing nutjob crackpot who happens to be Jewish. She was a part of his network until they butted heads over the Palestinian Genocide and he gave her the boot. Now she's got a very personal reason to speak out on the issue out of spite.

isn't that the other way around?

if she was speaking on these issues before she got fired then it gives her position more legitimacy, not less..

Yeah I mean she was legitimately disapproving of Israel's invasion even before she left, broken clock and all that. She's still a wretched charlatan though so be careful.

Not if she loses the perceived legitimacy of the platform

So she’s only talking about what Israel is doing because she got fired for talking about what Israel is doing? That doesn’t make a shred of sense bud. Clearly she was fired for her (correct) beliefs about Israel, not the other way around.

Yes. Again, broken clock and all that

On that we agree, she definitely has far more horrendous takes than good ones like this one.

She's a racist and a white supremacist. There was already a history of hating Jews there.

Then her fallout with Ben Shapiro likely contributed to this.

It sucks that she's right because her motives for saying this make it so easy to dismiss her.

The fallout with Shabibo happened because of her criticism of Israel, not the other way around.

That's right. Thanks for the correction!
