Thies MarsenWie immer sehr empfehlenswert: Erica Zingers Kolumne auf @tazgetroete - diesmal über die antisemitischen Demonstrationen an der Columbia University. Tröstet ein bisserl hinweg, über das, was man in der taz sonst zum Thema manchmal lesen muss…
jonburrPalestinians are Semitic People.
Nothing says #antisemitism like the murder of 35000 Semitic Civilians in #Gaza
The students who are demonstrating in the USA aren't anti-Semitic, they are PRO-semitic and anti-Genocide.
The zionist rightwing Israeli government is Anti-semitic and PRO-Genocide
Its not that fucking difficult to understand.

Mass graves in Gaza show victims’ hands were tied, says UN rights office
Disturbing reports continue to emerge about mass graves in Gaza in which Palestinian victims were reportedly found stripped naked with their hands tied, prompting renewed concerns about possible war crimes amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes, the UN human rights office, OHCHR, said on Tuesday.
ex or current IDF unwelcome@jonburr @thiesmarsen @tazgetroete The PM of Israel happens to belong to a particular religion. It is him that we are anti. If he were Christian, Muslim, agnostic etc we'd still hate him
@JohnLoader6 @jonburr @tazgetroete
I wouldn’t use the word hate, but of course Netanyahu is one of the main problems for Israel and the whole region.
But why do you want to close all Israeli embassies? Are you against Israel or against the actual far right Israeli government?
And of course there are several other problems in the region, to get rid of: the biggest one starts with h and ends with amas…
And there is this other problem starts with I and ends with ran
@thiesmarsen @jonburr @tazgetroete I want a message sent. Israelis are left in ignorance of what most of the world thinks about what they are doing. There a tiny amount of sanctions but pin pricks. I'd like El Al to be treated like Aeroflot and banned. But a loud message needs to be sent
@JohnLoader6 @jonburr @tazgetroete
And how about closing all Iranian embassies? Or all from Katar?
And I am sure that Israelis recognize what’s going on in the rest of the world - and they recognize the absolute lack of empathy for all the murdered, raped, tortured, kidnapped Israeli men, women and children. And also the refusal within those who call themselves progressive to take note of the responsibility of Hamas and other Palestinian groups for the actual situation.
Sad but true.

What I really wish I could explain to people is that while, yes, Hamas, Iran, etc. are super bad and need to be opposed, stopped, neutralized, whatever, what Israel is doing in Gaza will achieve none of these things.
Al Quaeda committed 9/11. In response and with the stated goal of defeating Al Quaeda and their allies the US invaded Afghanistan an Iraq. 20 years later we now have ISIS massacring 100+ people in a single attack and (cont)

the Taliban being in charge of Afghanistan (again).
Iran had faced massive protests lately, which they had to escalate their repressions to quell, increasing the likelihood of more protests in the future. Now they can hope to quell any domestic calls due change through a violent conflict with an external enemy (often quite effective).
Which leaves us with what? A whole lot of suffering in Gaza and probably NOTHING to show for it at the end :-/
