I'd start by dropping the message that he's on the "wrong side of this issue." It's clear that many people believe that's very much up for debate. Right or wrong though, he'll certainly anger one group or the other with his vocal position. That's the real issue.
If he took your position on the matter and was similarly vocal, would you have the same concern?
- dmurko 3y ago"Openly advocating a genocide" definitely seems like the wrong side, no matter what many people believe is up for debate.
- ajeet_dhaliwal 3y agoYes. Is OP exaggerating? Or is the board member actually saying such things?
- philomath_mn 3y ago100% depends on what specifically the board member said. If they openly said "kill every Palestinian" then that is a problem. On the other hand, in the current moment, it is very popular to interpret a wide variety of pro-Israel statements as "advocating genocide".
- megous 3y agoPeople say it a lot these days. Kill them all. Or drive them to the Sinai desert. Or flatten Gaza. It's really common, and it's an advocacy for an international crime/or war crimes, not an "political opinion" as many here suggest. Just like advocacy for any other crime would probably not be brushed aside as a "political opinion". "All black women in my city should be raped, because [some felt injustice]." When advocated for from people in real power, or with a lot of money and influence, or from bosses in companies, it's quite chilling.
