I won’t be called antisemitic for questioning Zionist policies by someone calling Arabs dogs. That’s hypocrisy. And Semitic covers Arabic speakers too, so who’s actually being antisemitic here? I don’t dehumanise people. Questioning Israel and Zionism ≠ antisemitism and I’ll die on that hill.

For the Jewish community this marked the end of nearly 500 years of Roman rule & oppression. Rewriting history is dangerous.

On settlements being illegal, yes that’s correct. But not because Jews are unwelcome. Because the Geneva Convention explicitly prohibits an occupying power from transferring its civilian population into occupied territory. That’s international law, not antisemitism.

Palestine wasn’t ‘founded alongside Israel.’ Palestinians were already there. What happened in 1948 was the forced displacement of 750,000 Palestinians before Arab armies even entered. That displacement was actually the stated reason Arab states intervened.

I am not saying antisemitism isn’t a problem. Of course it is. And it’s wrong. But what’s happening coming from Israel against Palestinians is wrong. Hamas needs to go. But what’s happening to everyday Palestinians is horrific and Jewish people of all people should know what they are going through

And yes I do. I’m a former evangelical. Moderate or liberal Zionists who don’t disavow the label of being a Zionist is a choice. There isn’t such a thing as a Nazi-lite.
