Human rights organisation Amnesty International on Tuesday accused Israel of committing a “live-streamed genocide” against Palestinians in Gaza by forcibly displacing most of the population and deliberately creating a humanitarian catastrophe.

In its annual report, Amnesty charged that Israel had acted with “specific intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza, thus committing genocide”.

Israel’s foreign ministry rejected the accusations of genocide as “baseless lies” and accused Amnesty International of being a “radical anti-Israel organisation”.

    Antisemitism has lost it’s meaning. Any time you raise your voice against any kind of powerful people, it’s discrimination why?

      The Zionist conflation of anti-zionism and antisemitism is directly responsible for the increase of genuine antisemitism worldwide

      Exactly why it’s so important to call out that conflation at every opportunity

      You can go on Twitter and find some ripe fucking comments. The hair brained “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” conspiracy-theory angle of antisemitism is alive and well. It’s just got nothing to do with Israelis butchering any Arab or Persian they can get in their crosshairs.

      Any time you raise your voice against any kind of powerful people, it’s discrimination why?

      Associating Jewishness with Powerfulness is a nut of a lot of the conspiracy theories.

      The game is always to conflate “Israelis are being called powerful because they are Jewish” and obscure “Israelis are being called powerful because they have a strong military and the full support of the US national security apparatus.”

        That is a problem the Zionists introduced tho. By labeling every small criticism against their oppressive and genocidal agenda as “antisemitism”, it blurred the lines and the idiot conspiracy theorists on Twitter get roped into the same crowd as someone asking Israel to stop their genocide.
