They didn’t do this against Russia – who treats the Ukrainians similarly

I mean, Israel has killed more civilians in 2 months than Russia has killed in 2 years.

If anything, comparing Israel to Russia should be reason to chastise the states that still do business with Israel.

But you don't see that, do you? It's just 'antisemitism'?

P.S. Good job doing your part to make that word even more meaningless.

I just call it out. Its antisemitism plain and simple.

And the only reason why Russia hasn't succeeded is the far superior air defense of Ukraine compared to Hamas (who itself doesnt care about Palestinians and therefore has almost no air defense at all) and the more densely populated area.

The antisemitism card isn't effective anymore, bud. Cried wolf way too many times.

So all antisemitism gets a pass now?

When someone criticizes Israel and not all jews, yes.

And thats not what Malaysia does. Also: if you critize Israel because its a state of jews.

Victim blaming is super classy.

who itself doesnt care about Palestinians and therefore has almost no air defense at all

What the shit? Hamas doesn't have air defense because of the blockade, and because Israel would blast it to oblivion in a day.

you'd think with the millions they receive in aid they'd build one to protect civilians. But keep on defending terrorism.

Do you understand what a blockade is?

Do you understand what having a neighbour wishing for nothing else but your death and launching rockets at you every single day is? Do you condemn this as harshly as you pity the poor Gazans? Didn't think so.

The blockade is, in and of itself, a declaration of war. Getting rockets launched at them is a very natural outcome of that action.

Justifying deliberate targeting of civilians because they're Jewish. Cool.

When you elect a party that vows to destroy its neighbouring country, the neighbouring country generally won't like it.
