This business of branding anyone who objects to Israeli slaughter of civilians as “antisemitic” is REALLY getting tiresome. Granted, Hamas is breeding genocidal monsters. No argument on that. But it doesn’t follow that every Muslim in the Levant is, ipso facto, a genocidal monster who deserves to die.
Yet that is the implicit premise of Israel’s saturation bombing of Gaza and their establishment of “settlements” by force in the West Bank. Let’s call out criminality and barbaric cruelty for what it is, no matter who is the perpetrator. To justify either side’s behavior is the worst kind of hypocrisy.
