The fascists hate when you point out that Palestinians are Semites. Because that means supporting their right to live is not, in fact, antisemitic.

Saying you don't want children (and innocent men and women) to die isn't anti semitic, no matter if said children or men and women are semitic or not. Sure, the semitic part is a cherry on the insanity cake, but still, that Chery shouldn't be required
Palestinians are Semites.
That's a complication that most people aren't prepared to deal with. I'm sure that with that information most Israelis will simply say that atebs are the wrong type of Semite because that's always what it comes down to
That's why calling this a "genocide" is somewhat of a misnomer that falls short of the point: Gaza isn't about "race", ethnicity, or even religion, it's an extermination towards a land grab for control over territorial waters with oil/gas deposits.
Persecution of Palestinians in the rest of Israel... that one is "only" a genocide.
Bibi is essentially going the route of "Hitler didn't do enough." Setting aside the moist, dripping historical irony, which cannot be understated, this is what evil looks like.
You can't use the Holocaust as a foundational tenet while also trying to exterminate "others." It doesn't work that way.
"Jewish law doesn't apply to gentiles.” That's what they say when this is brought up amongst themselves.
Because she cared about the wrong children
Zionism. It’s pretty shitty.
