Been called a hardened Jew hater today by an account that promotes #GenocideDenial around #Israel's killings and destruction in #Gaza.

Surprise finding myself thrown in with Jewish #HolocaustSurvivors who call the slaughter in Gaza for what it is.

But that's where Netanyahu has taken the state of Israel. smh
