(56,532 posts)The internment, starvation, and slaughter of tens of thousands to two million people, vs. an offensive statement or individual acts of violence. That you think they are the same is a problem. As odious as antisemitism is, it's not the biggest human rights offense in the world at the present time: Gaza is. Though it certainly has been in the past. All human life has value, irrespective of race or ethnicity. It's unfortunate that Netanyahu's defenders don't see it that way. It's clear that to some, the only lives that matter are those of Jews. it's hard to have a lot of sympathy for people who defend genocide, and by this I don't mean Jews; I mean Israel's defenders. Netanyahu's defenders on the board scream "look at me," while they defend the most horrific of policies. Additionally, most of the posts about antisemitism are in the Jewish group, which I don't post in out of respect.
What I would like to see is an acknowledgement that the blind defense of Israel needs to stop, that death camps have gone way over the line. They were horrific in WWII, and they are horrific today.
