He is a rabbi and a Jew, is justification for calling all Jews as “complicit” for what is happening in Gaza if they don’t do anything about it.

It doesn’t matter who he is, calling all Jews as complicit is bullshit

it doesn't matter how he identifies either, because he is providing an excuse for anti-Jewish bigotry.

No surprise that some would have no problem with this.

so what if if he is a rabbi, Meir Kahane was a rabbi and a racist piece of garbage, Norman finkelstein is a vile holocaust piece of garbage minimizer.

It is no different than those who were enthralled with Reverend Wright collectively blaming of all white people for the ills of the world.

Oh, he is a rabbi, oh he is a Jew, so it is OK to collectively blame ALL Jews for complicity if they don’t do something.

He is a jackass promoting anti-Jewish bigotry, and because he happens to be a rabbi, he is getting the attention he wants as a political activist.
