“Undoubtedly, there is a real threat of antisemitism, and as ever it comes largely from the far right. Israel’s actions – and its false claim to be representing all Jews – only help to stoke it.
This moral panic is transparently self-serving. It directs our attention away from the pressing, all-too-concrete evidence that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza - one that has slaughtered and maimed many tens of thousands of innocents. It redirects our attention instead towards tenuous claims of a deepening antisemitism crisis, one whose tangible effects appear limited and for which the evidence is all too clearly exaggerated. After all, a rise in ‘Jew hatred’ is all but inevitable if you redefine antisemitism, as western officials have recently done via the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s new definition, to include antipathy towards Israel - and at the moment when Israel appears, even to the World Court, to be carrying out a genocide.” https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/war-gaza-fight-against-antisemitism-shield-israel-genocide More israeli lies and torture "Agency staff members have been subject to threats and coercion by the Israeli authorities while in detention, and pressured to make false statements against the Agency, including that the Agency has affiliations with Hamas and that UNRWA staff members took part in the 7 October 2023 atrocities,” the report says...."ill-treatment and abuse they said they had experienced included severe physical beatings, waterboarding, and threats of harm to family members." UNRWA report says Israel coerced some agency employees to falsely admit Hamas links Historian Elan Pape (he israeli and Jewish, if you are interested in his background): it is worse than the 1948 ethnic cleansing “I saw in Auschwitz that if a dominant group wants to dehumanize others, as the Nazis dehumanize me, the dominant group must first dehumanize themselves, the same holds nowadays for Israel. I am appalled about how hateful, how dehumanized, that they do not see any human aspect in any Palestinian anymore. The Zionists have no right whatsoever to use the Holocaust for any purpose, they have given up everything which has to do with humanity and with empathy” "Israeli military intensifies destruction operations in occupied West Bank. Israeli bulldozers entered Jenin refugee camp and demolished a number of roads and infrastructure. This has been described as a punitive measure that has intensified since October 7, 2023, and is deliberately employed by the Israeli occupation to cause disruption to residents' daily lives. It appears that even the roads in Gaza and the West Bank are a threat to Israel's fragile existence." |
