Israeli attack on Palestinians waiting for food

Yet more evidence for Israel's genocidal intent in Gaza.

Yet my folks have the gall to suggest that this is justified and not genocide, along with labeling people who protest as being anti-Semitic. Absolutely vile.

There are a lot of Jewish activists (even orthodox Jews) protesting against the war on Gaza all around the world. They are being branded as "traitors" by many in the Jewish community, yet it's absurd to think they are all anti-Semitic. Maybe you can change their minds about that part at least... Or maybe not.

I try, but my folks see everything I say as wrong, part of the joys of being one of two black sheep in the family lol.

Here's an excerpt from one of the links above that I found quite revealing:

Nobody ↑ :

The BBC, the voice of the British establishment, for example, casually stated in a news report in October that widespread pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the country were in fact “pro-Hamas” (the corporation had to retract this assessment after a public backlash), and Home Secretary Suella Braverman, defined them as “hate marches” attended by “sick” anti-Semites.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak made his own feelings clear when, during a visit to a Jewish school in London, he announced that the government had handed the police “all the tools, powers and guidance” needed to police these pro-Palestinian protests, adding “anti-Semitism will not stand”.

Eventually, Braverman took things a step too far and accused London’s Metropolitan Police of favouring pro-Palestine protesters, forcing Sunak to sack her.

All this was an extension of the British political and media establishment’s longstanding efforts to portray anti-Zionism and support for the Palestinians as anti-Semitic, to protect Israel and to further Britain’s imperial foreign policy agenda.

To that end, the misnamed “Campaign Against Antisemitism” even suggested that repeated pro-Palestinian demonstrations in London had forced British Jews to “vacate their homes” and “remove their Star of David necklaces and hide their kippahs”. This, despite the Jewish bloc on the last few demonstrations in London consistently being over 1,000 strong.

I myself attended many such demonstrations over the past few months and witnessed firsthand the warm welcome extended to Jewish people in these spaces. In one protest, there was even a group of Muslim women chanting “Judaism yes, Zionism no”.

Today, the British government, with full support from the Labour opposition under Keir Starmer and much of the mainstream British media, is attempting to use smears of anti-Semitism to legitimise its relentless attacks on the most fundamental democratic freedoms of Britons. All Jews support Israel, their argument goes, thus any criticism of “the Jewish state”, including the criticism of its genocidal war on Gaza, is inherently anti-Semitic. Of course it is not pro-Palestinian demonstrators but this argument, which implies all Jews are supportive of Israeli policies of starving Palestinian civilians, bombing hospitals, and slaughtering children merely because they are Jewish, that is truly anti-Semitic.

Meanwhile, many Jews who are vocally critical of Israel and its war on Gaza are either ignored and erased by the media and the political classes or, as in my case, subjected to bogus prosecutions and persecution. The same is true in Germany where anti-Zionist Jews are subjected to state repression because they don’t play along with the narrative that Israel is the embodiment of what it means to be Jewish.

That's basically my folks' view, except it comes from my stepdad's Telegram groups.

Spike one of many · Mar 4, 2024

I see. Seems like you'd just be wasting your breath then. Too strong the Telegram groups' influence is.

Yep lol. I think it's the Awake Australia one too.

Spike one of many · Mar 5, 2024

I've never heard of it but I bet it's a pretty bad one. It's probably wise to just agree to disagree.

Rune · Mar 6, 2024

Yeah, it's an Australia-wide thing that's supposed to fight the globalist agenda. I wish it was that simple sometimes.
