Hamas’ brutal attacks in Israel on October 7 killed at least 1,400 people and the group took more than 200 hostages, according to Israeli authorities. In the wake of the assault, Israel launched an aerial bombardment of Gaza that Palestinian health officials say has killed more than 5,000 people. Israel also announced a “complete siege” on the enclave, withholding vital supplies of water, food and fuel.

The news just said that Israel is withholding fuel as Hamas might use it.

They left out the part where Israel is committing ethnic cleansing out in the open.

That’s because Israel is the only nation on Earth seemingly except from criticism, else you’re labelled an anti-Semite.

Yup. I've always said #FuckIsrael, but i get labelled an antisemite for saying it. Fucking israel is not innocent in all this. Fuck.

Criticizing Israel is the opposite of being anti semitic. It's an acceptance that the state does not represent all Jewish people and an acceptance that ethnicity and religion are not a monolith and that these do not exempt a person from being a piece of shit

Ask any Jew hypothetical question, do you agree to disband Israel as a country?

Pretty sure they all will say no.

Israel represents all Jews. Full stop.

Israel represents all Jews. Full stop.

Yeah except the thousands of Jews totally opposed to it because it's an apartheid state...

Very scientific. Ask them a loaded question I don't care about that isn't on the table. Then you're pretty sure they'll all answer the same way. Do you see how that is anti semitic? Do you think all Jewish people are the same?

Hamas's entire reason for existing is to destroy Israel and set up a caliphate. This is in their words, in their charter.

It's not a loaded question

It is absolutely a loaded question. The question is not whether Israel should exist or if we should accept what Hamas says about the state of Israel. The question is do Jewish people support the actions of the Israeli government.

ya, fair few, especially outside Israel would actually consider the disbanding of Israel a good idea, then again those are also not the ones you openly recognize as jewish....

It's extra fun when it's Jewish groups doing the protesting.
