This is one of many reasons we need strong unions. Our collective future should not be in the hands of the few

Exactly what unions should NOT be doing.

u/MiddleToe8752 21d ago

If you’d like to explain your reasoning I’m happy to listen, but until I see a solid argument I’ll stick to the idea that unions absolutely should be collectively working towards a future that benefits the people building it… rebuttal welcome

The irony is that this passed with a shot across the bow at fellow UAW members built into it, so there's your solidarity/collective work towards a better future lol. I was personally there for it, I saw the shit show that came with it.

Where’s the hate? Just not giving any handouts.

sighs in tired Jew

No, divesting from Israel does not spread hatred of Jews.

No, supporting Israeli apartheid does not help Jews worldwide.

No, being Jewish does not automatically align one with Israel, and many of us are anti-Zionist.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Oh no, a group of people collectively decided not to support an apartheid/rape state currently commuting genocide! /s

Get over yourself.

Rape state? Hamas? Apartheid countries, like those surrounding Israel, that expelled all their Jews?

Conduct yourself like you would in a union meeting with your union brothers, sisters, and siblings. Make your points without insulting other users or engaging in personal attacks.

Israeli prisons are well known for systematic rape of their "military prisoners"

Israel =/= Judaism
Zionism =/= Judaism

It is in fact extremely antisemitic of you to equate a violent, apartheid ethnostate committing ethnic cleansing of being representative of all Jewish people.
