I have a hard time seeing criticism of the #NetanyahuAdministration - the ethnic cleansing, the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians and Lebanese , the theft of West Bank land from Palestinians - as anti-Semitic.
Religious beliefs and ethno-nationalism do not justify the callous abuse of others.
Why the US - both Democrats and Republicans - refuse to take action to stop the criminal abuses of the #NetanyahuAdministration is beyond me. These are crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, murder, theft.
Israeli police kill two young Palestinian boys and their parents in West Bank

And yes, the US Congress, with many #Democrats voting in favor, continues to send weapons to Israel. Why?
“If they recycle the Israeli bombs that didn’t explode there is an endless supply of explosives, and the genocide provides an infinite recruiting pool for new members.”
"American intelligence estimates suggest Hamas has recruited 15,000 operatives during the war, about twice as many as Israel has killed."
Nothing like a policy that generates more people supporting violence - especially since both the impacts and memories of wrongs can last for generations
#Gaza #Stupidity #PointlessKilling THanks, #NetanyahuAdministration
The Senate, with the assistance of #SenAdamSchiff and #SenAlexPadilla, voted to continue selling bombs to the #NetanyahuAdministration so they can continue murdering #Palestinians in many different ways.
There's now a House resolution - H.R.3565, the Block the Bombs Act - that's been introduced with numerous cosponsors. Please write to your Congressperson urging them to cosponsor H.R.3565, the Block the Bombs Act., It's easy with the form at the action network link: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/block-the-bombs
"Israel controls the flow of food into Gaza. It has calculated how many calories Palestinians need to stay alive. Its data shows only a fraction has been allowed in"
' “The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger,” a senior adviser to the then prime minister, Ehud Olmert, said in 2006. An Israeli court ordered the release of documents showing the details of those macabre sums two years later.'
And how many Democratic senators voted to provide bombs to the government that uses starvation as an intentional policy? Why are my Senators, #Schiff and #Padilla, among those supporting acts to provide the #NetanyahuAdministration with the weapons to support these policies?
I can't help but wonder if the real anti-Semites aren't the #NetanyahuAdministration & those who conflate criticism of the Netanyahu Administration's horrific acts in Gaza and the West Bank with antisemitism. It is the acts of Netanyahu and his ilk that cast Judaism in a bad light, as they hide behind a Jewish identity to justify the unjustifiable. Hiding evil behind a Jewish identity harms all Jews.
The horrors inflicted on #Palestinians in Gaza, & the murders, beatings and land theft by West Bank Settlers with #IDF support make it all too easy for people to justify attacks on Jews, assuming all Jews support Israel without question. A bad, unjust, immoral assumption - but unfortunately a trap too many fall into.
And we have 2 recent articles highlighting this issue. The first makes it clear that the Netanyahu Administration's evils are not supported by all, or even most, Jews, while the second shows how people fail to understand that:

Sorry, but that strikes me as absolving the Democratic "leaders" who created the conditions that led to support for Trump.
No, it was not D support for pro- choice, and not D support for LGBTQ+ rights.
It was Ds ignoring the problems created by focusing on GDP as the sole consideration of economic success, ignoring the bread and butter concerns of working America.
It was Ds not meeting with people and listening to their concerns, and actually engaging in discussions to address those concerns.
It was Ds doubling down on support for the #NetanyahuAdministration's actions in Gaza and West Bank, ignoring the coalition ministers calling for ethnic cleansing.
Those are the reasons I went to the voting booth to vote against a greater evil, not to support a party that betrayed the vision that FDR created for my parents, and that I was raised with.
I find it hard to read the stories on what is being done to the Palestinians. For those who claim the #NetanyahuAdministration is not actively pursuing genocidal ambitions, please consider this from deputy parliament speaker Nissim Vaturi:
“We need to separate the children and women and kill the adults in Gaza. We are being too considerate,” Vaturi said. “We will soon turn Jenin [in the West Bank] into Gaza,” he added.
How is that not a clear statement of intent?
Gee, why would the #IDF spokesperson tell an untruth? Doesn't the history of IDF actions in #Gaza and the #WestBank show how careful they are not to harm noncombatants? /s [for those who might not have followed the IDF snipers killing children, the persons in IDF uniforms supporting settlers attacking Palestinians in the West Bank, the entire Gaza campaign as waged by the IDF and the #NetanyahuAdministration, and the statements about getting Palestinians out of Gaza made by members of the Netanyahu Administration (clear calls for #EthnicCleansing)]
The implicit US support for the #NetanyahuAdministration and IDF war crimes apparently continues unabated.
Maybe we'll hear something meaningful from the #Democrats this time. Sadly, I doubt it.
It seems we really don't need the #OrangeToddler to blot the US copybook. The political leadership in both parties is more than happy to tolerate these #atrocities.
