I’m not sure how chastising someone who gets onboard late is good for the cause. Movements take time to grow and being cliquish about it simply hobbles that growth.
"Someone" is a weird way to say "multinational conglomorate news media that has been throwing accusations of antisemitism for years at people for as much as saying Israel should kill less kids."
Wtf? What on earth did you think I was saying?
Most of the criticism isn't directed at a random"someone" its directed at a cadre of DNC/political insiders and press guys who know better and are still treating gaza like its just experiencing an sudden scarcity of food for no discernable reason.
In other words the people being made fun of here aren't "onboard late to the cause", they're opportunists who see a shifting public opinion and want to pretend they weren't cheerleading genocide to get free vacations or whatever. The only reward for "befriending" these public opinion mercenaries is the inevitable backstab.
