In reply to the discussion: Never say Isreal is doing this to Gaza: [View all]moniss
(7,917 posts)118. Yes and sadly there is no real solution now so all I
and others like yourself can do is analyze, describe, recite history etc. I don't see anything stopping Netanyahu from his plans in the Occupied Territories and beyond. But the folly of Netanyahu and those like him is to believe this will end the violence and reprisals. I think he and others sell that notion also to others. The notion that a leadership can create 10's of thousands of orphans and wipe away not only their parents but their siblings, aunts, uncles and grandparents and that out of that huge number there won't be some who will grow and strike back is sheer folly.

Critics of Israel's (Netenyahu's) rightwing government's Gaza policies are routinely accused of being anti-Semitic.

Obviously people in the rest of the world do say "America" - that's what humans do

Sadly, these debates always devolve into someone being accused of being anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas or worse.

I won't, but I never conflate Israel's and Netenyahu's rightwing government's actions in Gaza with being a Jew.

If I understand you correctly, it is not the IHRA definition of antisemitism that is the object to your objections.

Maybe if you think these posts are "truly antisemitic" but they don't get removed

Your posts in this thread are weak sauce - "I criticize Netanyahu - I dare someone to call me an antisemite"

So you won't point out an aspect of Israeli policy in Gaza that you condemn?

What Hamas did on October 7 was monstrous. It does everyone a disservice to repeat falsehoods about it.

Yeah from what I've seen, the claims about babies cut in half or put in ovens are routinely discounted.

Did you read your link? The "account" is a work of fiction --- a short story.

Fun fact: the fictitious "account" occurred during the Suez Crisis when Egypt was occupying Gaza.

Sure, because when talking about Israel, it's NEVER "all" of Israel, including civilians, responsible for atrocities

Apparently, a majority of Israelis are opposed to what their government is doing to Gaza.
