1/ Not only is @jstreetdotorg aligning itself with hateful voices that exploit the tragic death to promote anti-Israel propaganda, but the analogy between systemic racism and occupation stemming from military conflict is obviously facile.
2/ If we unilaterally dismantle racism, there's no more racism. Good!
If Israel unilaterally leaves the West Bank in the absence of a peace deal--several of which the PLO has rejected--Hamas sits on the hills overlooking Tel Aviv, Jewish civilians are murdered, and war erupts.

3/ To be clear: They're not murdered as a result of chaos or difficult transitions or whatever. They're murdered by antisemitic, well-armed, internationally designated terror organizations, who are open about their desire to kill Israelis and destroy the country.
4/ Conflating systemic racism with occupation is like conflating the coronavirus with social distancing.
You want the former to disappear with the snap of a finger. You want the latter to be addressed when the conditions that lead to it allows.
