I am being attacked for a tweet I wrote this morning comparing Bari Weiss to Goebbels. I made this comparison for a reason. Bari Weiss intentionally put a target on journalist Refaat Al-Areer, resulting in the IDF killing him and his family, knowing that when she says "jump," the IDF asks "how high?" She has published countless articles denying and/or justifying Israel's genocide in Gaza. Recently, she touted a piece by fellow propagandist Olivia Reingold, claiming that there's no real starvation in Gaza because many of the children who are dying have shrapnel in their skulls from Israeli bombs and conditions like Rickets. In what she undoubtedly considers a huge accomplishment, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is responsible for the deaths of at least 100,000 Palestinians including at least 20,000 children, promoted this piece. Weiss has made it her life's work to defend Israel's actions at all costs--including the killing of children; indeed, she has said as much. I judge people by their actions and their words, not by their identity. That Weiss happens to also be a Jewish lesbian plays no role in my assessment of her morality (or lack thereof). I do not apologize.
