Israeli troops are fighting with Hamas militants on the edges of Gaza City, as the Palestinian death toll rises above 9,000. U.S. and Arab leaders are raising pressure on Israel to ease its siege and at least briefly halt its attacks in order to aid civilians.
It’s “funny” how the same people always crying about being victim of religious discrimination, genocide, the Holocaust (all true things, that’s not my point) are also the ones doing the same to people of another religion, yet don’t think they’re wrong…
I think your comment is a great example of how wording matters. The use of “people” is vague enough to mean all jews or the Isreali government. One context makes your comment antisemitic while the other doesn’t. I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and only point out that the distinction is necessary because the Isreali government does not represent all jews. The government is hypocritical and you can find jews, even in Isreal, being critical of that hypocrisy.
You’re totally right.
In this context, my “people” would refer to “any Jewish person that approves of what’s going on”
And my “what’s going on” here doesn’t refer to the atrocities Hamas committed, and it doesn’t refer to wanting to defend themselves either. It refers to the acts of genocide going on, and the indiscriminate killing of civilians.
I have particular contempt for oppressed peoples that go on to oppress others when given the chance.
