General Discussion

I don't believe anyone on DU questions the existence of antisemitism; and it's wrong to apply that label to everyone who objects the genocide.

"As of 9 July 2025, over 60,200 people (58,313 Palestinians and 1,983 Israelis) have been reported killed in the Gaza war according to the Gaza Health Ministry [believed by all authorities not affiliated with the Israeli government or the IDF to be reliable], as well as 217 journalists and media workers, 120 academics, and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, a number that includes 179 employees of UNRWA. Scholars have estimated 80% of Palestinians killed are civilians. A study by OHCHR, which verified fatalities from three independent sources, found that 70% of the Palestinians killed in residential buildings or similar housing were women and children." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Gaza_war_casualties)

Moreover, "Injured: at least 139,974 people" (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/18/gaza-tracker ) – while "1,580 health care workers [have] been killed" (https://www.straitstimes.com/world/middle-east/death-and-destruction-in-gaza-in-21-months-of-war-with-israel ); and only half of the hospitals still stand, and those are only partly functional.

And then there's the prolonged, illegal blocking of aid; and what's happening now at the so-called aid distribution centers....

I honestly suspect that those who continue to support this kind of aggression are either politically sociopathic or suffering from some kind of trauma-induced neurosis.
