    The Israeli government is murdering children and committing war crimes, and they’re upset about what The Onion has to say about it.

        They’re also full on slaughtering the press too.

        So a rundown of what they’re doing

        1. Killing 2 civilians for every 1 Hamas
        2. Killing children (50% of Gaza is under 18)
        3. Killing journalists

        They’re 100% correct Hamas needs to be wiped out because Hamas wants Jews to not exist, but goddamn the ends to not justify the means.

        They’ve lost the fucking plot.

        Mark my words anti-Semitism is going to continue it’s crescendo and it’s 100% because of the IDF and that asshat running Israel.

          Hamas charter excerpt.
          16. Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.

            Good to know they uphold this text by not publicly murdering and raping random civilians in their homes and proudly sharing the video.

    The ironic thing is, conflating any and all criticism of the state of Israel with anti-semitism could be argued as anti-semitic itself, because to suggest that jewish people in general and the Israeli state/military are one in the same such that criticism of the later is also hateful towards the former, is also to suggest that jewish people as a whole are responsible for the actions of Israel.

    As cultural groups as a whole are inherently unable to be guilty of crimes (since even if a large number of people belonging to one commit some crime, such a group will also contain members that cannot be guilty of it, like young children), but states and similar entities, being organized and capable of decision-making, can be, then any attempt to link the moral culpability of a state and that of a cultural group is inherently to apply unfair accusations to that group, and thus hateful to it.
