"Just let the IDF finish murdering all your relatives and then we'll have a ceasefire in Gaza while they switch to committing mass murder in the West Bank instead" is surprisingly not swaying them.

Can't imagine why.

It's so dumb that you apparently have to pick a side in this humanitarian disaster, to the point where saying "hey maybe we shouldn't be killing innocent <Palestinians|Israelis>" apparently means you're pro murdering the other side.

The whole thing is fucked.

The language concerning it is pretty poisoned. If you use a sentence that in any way alludes to the existance of innocent Palestinians OR if you compare or equate Israelis and Palestinians together in any way shape or form you'd be considered an anti-Israeli anti-semite.

Fun stuff the rhetoric of genocide.

They are purposely blurring the lines between being a Zionist, Israeli, and Jewish in general. Calling all of it anti-Semitism because for a lot of people that's an instant argument win.

Instead what it's making is more people anti-semetic in general. Because they aren't differentiating between their own crazy fucks and the average person, instead blaming others. If you don't denounce the crazy people, then don't be surprised when others lump you in with them.
