Permission to talk about something really difficult...Thread:
I don’t particularly want to, but yesterday, after posting an @kickitout video condemning antisemitism, inevitably, I’m confronted with weird and aggressive posts about Israel and Zionists, and I want to address this.

The conflicts in Israel, Palestine and the Middle East are incredibly complex issues, and not something I particularly want to go into, especially on Twitter. There are far more knowledgeable people than me on the topic who would be happy to.
Firstly, this is not in any way intended to undermine the cause/rights/feelings of ANYONE suffering, at the hands of ANY others. Legitimate criticism of Israel is NOT in question. But antisemitism masquerading as this exists, and should not be allowed to go unchallenged.
