(36,421 posts)Not sure why yr being so defensive about it. That's what Israel and its defenders do every single time anyone reports on the horrific abuse of Palestinians by the IDF and extremist settlers. If someone claims to disagree with the Israeli government, I don't understand why they usually pivot straight to defending them and making accusations of antisemitism at those who do.
As for yr comments. Be curious all you want. That's a deeply personal thing for people, and If I were asked that, I'd tell the person who was asking me to mind their own fucking business as it's got zero to do with someone talking about genocide itself. I studied genocide at uni. Does that mean all that learning I did means fuck all? Also, why is it when you speak about genocide in a thread about the genocide of Palestinians, you bring up a whole bunch of other examples but then go on to accuse those who refer to (sorry, in yr telling 'scream') the genocide in Gaza of antisemitism?
For anyone who claims they never see anyone here accusing critics of Israel of being antisemitic, bookmark this:
This time the addition of screams of "Genocide!!!" and "deniers!!!" is especially ironic.
Let's look in our own mirrors.
Uh-huh. I remember when you made the blanket accusation of student protesters all being Tok-tok watching supporters of Hamas. I don't know who to listen to and take seriously. You? Or multiple academics, people on the ground, legitimate news sources etc? Let me go off and consider this conundrum for all of 0.5 seconds!
