Israel confirms

I refer again to the side that has been, y'know, doing an occupation and apartheid

But the "side" that, y'know, kicked this off with a mass terrorist rampage of rape, torture and death, not a word of condemnation.

Boycotting US businesses because they send money and arms to the Israelis. Quite right. Many people are boycotting US businesses now due to this violence.

I think you are mixing up Jewish people with Israeli zionists op, most Jewish people are disgusted with Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people.

I wasn't. I used the terms her family wanted in the public domain. You are using words with no thought of how they impact the families.
But your response and your posts prove you want a spurious argument and have no respect for any of the victims or their families. You're only interested in how you can use them and how you can derail threads.
People are dead. People are dying.
Have a long, hard think about what a compassionate and respectful response to that would be. And then if you have any maturity or introspection, you'll ask MN to delete your posts.

I condemn a lot of what the Israeli government does myself, fwiw. But that^^ is plain old blood libel.

Nope. I'm afraid not. People here aren't stupid. We're way past this now. It's becoming a cliche.

They're referring to the Israeli government. Condemnation of the Israeli government is not anti semitism.

Nope. They are referring to businesses they (incorrectly) attribute to being Jewish-owned, which have as much to do with the Israeli government as you do. Go back and read the quote. Stand by it?

Condemnation of the Israeli government is not only permitted, but essential at this time. The mass killings of the people trapped in the Gaza strip needs to be seen and called out for what it is.

It's usually bad form to pick the side committing an atrocity.

Both "sides" have had horrific civilian losses so picking one like it's a fucking football match is what I would say is bad form.

They're referring to the Israeli government. Condemnation of the Israeli government is not anti semitism.

@Salumadamni and I'm not disputing that.
My thoughts are with all the innocent people caught up in the violence.

Of course not, and you know it.

Here’s what you wrote:

“Yep. I want to vomit the coffee & croissant I had at Starbucks in the summer. BDS is the way to go.
They have no human feelings; the only way to get to them is to starve them from our money. Every little helps.
They've been working on wiping off Palestinians for a long time now.”

Awful. It’s because of attitudes like this, bored people riffing on the internet, that my kid is scared to go to school sometimes. Because dumb people read your views, swallow the same jew-blood libel bs from literally the medieval era, and go out to make ordinary people’s lives difficult. I’m a Jew. Are you telling me I don’t have “human feelings”? I just get a little frisson of excitement counting my money? That’s what you wrote up there. It’s in full before you start telling me about “context”.

Awful.

I have no words left for the Israeli genocide in Gaza and the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. How many more babies will they kill until it’s enough, I hope that evil fucking bastard Netanyahu ends up in The Hague tried for war crimes. The western governments are morally bankrupt in supporting Israel, but guessing that’s where they are making their money in selling arms to a terrorist state. They need to go The Hague as well. Anyone calling this post antisemitic, go there as well, as you are supporting this awful regime.

Goodness this is toxic.

Maybe I am strange but I don’t need the exact details of these deaths. I believe horrific attacks were carried out on innocent Israeli people. People of all ages and sexes were attacked, injured, raped, taken hostage and died. I don’t need to see the exact numbers or method of deaths.

I believe thousands of innocent Palestinian people are being bombed and are dying. Dehydrated and lacking essential meds. Kids and adults. I don’t believe all the bombs are being directed solely at Hamas. I don’t need the details of the deaths.

I find the focus on how exactly people died macabre and distracting now. People have lost their lives. That is dreadful enough.

One innocent death is one too many. We need it to stop now. There is nothing good that can come out of this now. I feel so angry, sad and helpless.

@Salumadamni so innocent people on both sides are not caught up in this!
I'm only allowed an opinion if I pick a side??
