Submission statement:
Scott Weiner, who’s running for Nancy Pelosi’s seat in congress, was harassed and driven out of a trans march for his previous support of Israel.
Weiner is a progressive gay Jew, and a California state senator who has passed pro-transgender legislation in the state government, and has previously called Israel’s actions in Gaza a “genocide”, but in the video (as well as another video from earlier this week) where Weiner is approached and harassed at a bar while watching the World Cup game, he’s accused by activists of supporting genocide.
In the video of the incident activists can be seen screaming that they hate him, waving middle fingers at him and calling him a genocide supporter.
these incidents are a stark reminder of the violent anti-Jewish extremism that has taken over many activist groups, and how not even progressive Jews are spared from it. Unfortunately I think we’re going to be seeing a lot more incidents like this in the future.
