What I also find really upsetting is because they have weaponised the charge of anti-Semitism to such a degree it has made it go out of control.
My reactive brain has anti Semitic thoughts and I have it Jewish heritage. I'm smart enough to recognise what is happening but it's put there by the news

I just tell people now that that it's not complicated, they are dropping bombs on tents because there are no buildings left.
Plus Israel is invading Syria and Lebanon.

The history is interesting and there's a lot to dig into, but right now there are still thousands at least in mortal danger

It would be like discussing German unification during ww2

I really worry about the world we live in, when saying

'Murdering Children is Bad, Please don't do it'

Is considered a controversial statement

Last weekend in Bath, England an anti-genocide protest received support from the vast majority of the general public but a couple of sad individuals went out of their way to disagree 🤷

It's written by Finn McRedmond. What did you expect?

It’s a new statesman article written by an inflammatory journalist whose name rhymes with Bin Mc Hedge Fund

In 1607 there was a serious proposal to King James, that Ulster should become the Jewish Homeland, instead of colonising it with Scottish Protestants. False equivalence my arse

See these things? They are called Tegarts Forts, connected to Tegarts walls. High Surveillance walls erected all over Isreal Palestine border. Unique colonial military structures, famous in Palestine since the 30s. Invented by Charles Tegart, a fucking orange man from Derry. False equivalence ?

Conspiracy theories are one thing, but this past year has absolutely blown me away in terms of trust in the 'mainstream media'. Conclusive proof of how far they'll go to drive an agenda/narrative. Never thought I'd see anything so blatant. Soul destroying. Have to wonder how history will view it.

So the most famous Irish jew is apparently a fictional character in Ulysses? That's wrong & just plain ignorant. How about former Israeli President Chaim Herzog, who was born in Belfast & raised in Dublin? And who also happens to be the father of the current President of Israel 🤷‍♂️

That article is an absolute pile of poo.

I was waiting for the actual argument in that NS piece. A few statements saying any comparison between Ireland and Palestine is a false equivalence but at no point did she make the effort to show why we should think so. Instead you get a non sequitur about Ireland having a small Jewish population?
