So... rather than just cursing/condemning all Zionists, why do Ansarallah/"Houthis" curse/condemn all Jews instead? (lemmygrad.ml)

Okay, had to be sure where you were coming from-- why I tried to couch what I was saying to defang it towards 'you' and more seat it in a societal sense. I've dealt with way too many people who operate off a very liberal sense of "I can just call this essentialism and never have to address it from there" on some thought-termination shit; I appreciate you expanding this out.

My original comment was a bit cryptic and could have used clarification. It was just the first thing my nerd brain thought. I'm sure there is nuance to add considering anti Jewish sentiments are quite real (and not always easily compared to whiteness, for example) but yet the whole idea of "strategic essentialism" still seems worth mentioning.
