The Guardian doing the if you don't unconditionally support Israel then you're anti-semitic thing. See, the story is not that Israel is killing children but that some people have referenced a stereotype when talking about them killing children which is unacceptable.

The writer doesn't give one example of someone actually using the term but instead lashes out at coverage of war crimes, presumably they shouldn't be covered. He also questions the notion that Israel is killing children - he actually says how could they deliberately do that? They're just killing anyone if there are children included that's just their bad luck. So there.

The Guardian is the last legacy media I subscribe to and they're pushing it...

@dee_le_brun I did see the headline, didn't bite. Your account confirms my fears...Shame on the Guardian to publish such rubish.

@dacig Apparently the COE accused Jews of blood liable in1225 so you know the BBC reporting on IDF killing children is the same... It just is ...

@dee_le_brun I'm writing in to the paper about this. Thanks for posting and also ugh, it's such an ugly read. So disappointing to see from The Guardian, I expect better from that publication! You're exactly right to mention the way he brushes off the idea that Palestinian children are being targeted and killed. Who tf is he asking, if he can find no one to tell him how and why Israel is doing this. They have themselves said how and why.

@fixiemama @dee_le_brun
there is a very clear way to identify if Jacobson is talking bullshit genocide apologia and the Guardian is publishing it. and that is, do we condemn infanticide and femicide in states and cultures that aren't majority jewish, including our own. I can safely say we do.

i don't say this out of complacency and i am fully aware most of us live in cultures that are strongly antisemitic and avoiding echoing antisemitic tropes is a work of constant vigilance, however this isn't one of those occasions.
