Remember when Moira Donegan created the “shitty media men” list as a way for women to hurl untested accusations, whether true or false, at anyone they wanted to smear? At least that list had the putative merit of accusing men of wrongdoing, even if their only wrong was being male. But is it a crime to be Zionist, to believe in the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state? Apparently, it is, at least to some.

Of course, without lists, how would people know who to hate, to shun, and round up when the time comes?
The irony isn’t that people who believe they are the righteous are making lists of people to hate and presumably cancel, as happened when PEN America cancelled its awards gala. To the unduly passionate, Zionism has become the new “racism,” an epithet conclusively dooming its target to be not merely on the wrong side of history, but complicit in “genocide.” After all, how can anyone support Israel knowing what is happening in Gaza, as gleaned from viral Tiktoks.
If there is such a list for lawyers, for blawgers, for old white men, put me on it.
It should come as no surprise that the unduly passionate are ramping up for their next round of hating who they tell you to hate. It was the only path available to the woke fringe, for whom the world breaks down to a simplistic binary in all things other than gender.

This has nothing to do with which side you favor or whether any side owns morality. People used to say reasonable minds can differ. Now, reasonable minds are complicit in genocide if they aren’t overtly anti-male anti-racist pro-Palestinian, until the next group that must be hated is named. Sorry, but I don’t make the rules.
Happy Mothers Day. Enjoy it until they reach you on the list.
Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms out there.
I’m sure the Palestinians are very appreciative of all the LGBT support. 🤣
“Of course, without lists, how would people know who to hate, to shun, and round up when the time comes?” you ask.
Maybe they could wear a sign or some sort of insignia, like a yellow star or a pink triangle? Just spitballing.
“But none of the lists say Jew.”
“But their name literally says anti-fascism.”
“But I’m a woman.”
“But these go to eleven.”
I’m so glad that someone has decided to curate my reading list. All I need to do now is read the list to find new authors I might enjoy.
Wait, who is Eitan Fischberger? SHG uses a twit from Eitan Fischberger’s account as ‘evidence’ of Jewish ‘lists’ (Eitan Fischberger wrote “Jew list” in his twit which sounds like something written by an anti-semetic troll, but SHG chose this guy as a source for this post…) …so who is Eitan Fischberger?
His bio on X (just click on his name in the twit) shows he claims to be a freelance journalist with almost work attributed to almost 10 American news outlets…but no recent links to his work are evident (but he does mention an article attributed to his grandfather in the WSJ). There is also a decided lack of text in a language other than English in Eitan Fischberger’s posts, which is…odd.
This is strange because Eitan Fischberger presents himself as an Israel-based freelance reporter (his bio on X decribes him as a former IDF staff sergeant and geolocates him in Israel) for multiple American news outlets, yet his posts linking to his recent work are sparse, worse mention nothing from Hebrew-language publications, and worst of all mention nothing of the events in Tel Aviv–specifically Israel’s Independence Day celebrations marred by the 100,000 protesting in Hostages Square over the lack of progress at Netanyahu freeing the hostages in Gaza and Doris Liber screaming “you took my children” at Netanyahu directly in reference to the death of her son Guy Illouz.
These stories are splashed all over the Times of Israel’s front page, but there is nary a peep out of Eitan Fischberger, which makes one suspect his is an American amateur troll. The links he gives in his twit SHG reposted use the term Zionist in the American WS understanding of the term, not Israeli, so congratulations: you’ve been had.
You seem to have put in an awful lot of work to completely miss the point. It’s not about Fischberger, but the lists in the attached pics. What a shame you wasted all that time researching Fischberger when you could have been touching grass instead.
