While we’re on the topic of right-wingers fantasizing about violence against leftists...

That exact attack was just used in my community. It's so painful.

It's disturbing and I wonder if it has something to do with how some sectors of the right process trauma. This isn't my field at all and I want to be cautious, but this feels most definitely like a thing.

Not sure... I have a bad memory for an historian.

I understand what she is saying and I think she's wrong. The problem, though, was with how she said it... I seem to recall having a similar discussion with someone else who invoked similar fantasies... Who? It's gross.

You wished a Holocaust on me and my Jewish political allies. Stop. Think. Apologize. Do better.

This is beyond disgusting. This is not the first time that someone from the Jewish right has directed genocidal fantasies against me as someone on the Jewish left. The implication is that we deserve it; that lefty Jews caused the Holocaust. This is antisemitism.

I don't remember consorting with anyone. Can we take a break, please? There were plenty of people debating the Batya and the Forward. I was listening and trying to learn. Sometimes, it's not my turn to speak.

Can we not run from topic to topic? I didn't spend my time going after Batya, even if I took issue with her position... If you're upset with the people who did, talk to them. I'm not the arbiter of all things ethical on Twitter.

You can certainly respond to her remarks, but you should also direct your response to her. That's all I'm saying. If it were me, I'd shrug off the "incel" comment as a jab... It's getting rough here. Can we all take a breath, please?

I'm not going to get into a thing where two dudes evaluate the merits of a female colleague. Sorry. If you have questions for her, she's on here.
