Are you time traveling to last month when that question was still relevant?

It literally means for Israel to cease to exist.

Just stating the same lie as a fact won't convince anyone with critical thinking faculties, you know?
The only reply this requires is: "No, it doesn't", and I'm done. You are adequately refuted.

In your first sentence you are claiming that the slogan "from the river to the sea" was made by people that will gladly tell you they want to wipe out Israel. I think you will have a very hard time making this case, but by all means, go ahead.

I'm willing to have my mind changed on this, as I am with all things, because I'm always willing to learn. Are you?

She's praised the perpetrators? When? Can you link it?

I certainly wouldn't be surprised if any evidence of that ever comes out.

I think you've got s point there. Making fun of people in that way is surely going to entrench their views.

I think everyone -including public figures- should be allowed to learn from their mistakes and grow. I think social media can interfere with that and make people refuse to admit error and double down for fear of being cancelled. Ideally this should change.
But, the case of Jo Rowling in particular is egregious. Not only does she refuse to engage with the possibility of being wrong, her bigotry extends beyond words, into concrete, hateful actions where she is fuelling the fire of transphobia worldwide with her influence, both parasocial and financial. That results in misery and suffering for millions. Fuck Jo Rowling.
This condemnation of her doesn't extend to everyone. And if she one day sees the light and walks everything back, then she should get a chance to redeem herself, too.

The clues to who she is were there all along in her writing. She couldn't keep quiet, because she believes what she's doing is right. Because she's conservative.
The only major black character in the series is called "Shacklebolt". The only Asian, "Cho Chang". Zero LGBTQ representation in the books. Harry had the world at his feet and decided to join the police. The whole struggle of the saga is for a return to the status quo, rather than a better world. General lack of female agency, and women just being hysterical and needing to be slapped out of it. Goblins as an antisemitic trope. I could go on.
I put it to you that it was inevitable that, one way or another, her rancorous bile would have spilled out into the public debate as soon as she got famous.

Netenyahu has wanted the US to back Israel's war with Iran for at least 20 years. Trump is the first president sufficiently cognitively challenged to do it.
These people are opportunists, not 5D chess players.

 

Stamattina mi sono alzato, Oh bella, ciao! Bella, ciao! Bella, ciao, ciao, ciao! Stamattina mi sono alzato, E ho trovato l’invasor.

Oh partigiano, portami via, Oh bella, ciao! Bella, ciao! Bella, ciao, ciao, ciao! Oh partigiano, portami via, Ché mi sento di morir.

E se io muoio da partigiano, Oh bella, ciao! Bella, ciao! Bella, ciao, ciao, ciao! E se io muoio da partigiano, tu mi devi seppellir.

E seppellire lassù in montagna, Oh bella, ciao! Bella, ciao! Bella, ciao, ciao, ciao! E seppellire lassù in montagna, Sotto l’ombra di un bel fior.

Tutte le genti che passeranno, Oh bella, ciao! Bella, ciao! Bella, ciao, ciao, ciao! Tutte le genti che passeranno, Mi diranno «Che bel fior!»

«E questo è il fiore del partigiano», Oh bella, ciao! Bella, ciao! Bella, ciao, ciao, ciao! «Questo è il fiore del partigiano, Morto per la libertà!»

This morning I woke up, This morning I woke up, And the invader was there.

Oh, partisan, take me away, Oh, partisan, take me away, For I feel like I am dying.

And if I die as a partisan, And if I die as a partisan, You have to bury me.

And bury me up in the mountain, And bury me up in the mountain, Under the shadow of a beautiful flower.

Yeah a lot of people died for this

All the people passing by, All the people passing by, Will tell me: What a beautiful flower!

And this is the flower of the partisan, And this is the flower of the partisan, Who died for freedom.

And this is the flower of the partisan, Who died for freedom.
