Yes, Israel’s plan for Rafah would be a crime but international law has never protected Gaza
I am NOT equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism. In fact, I believe the opposite, as I wrote in an earlier post. It's the intent of the criticism that determines whether it is antisemitic. If the goal of the criticism is to persuade listeners or readers Israel has no right to exist as the homeland of the world's Jews, then it is antisemitic. If its purpose is only to register disagreement with the Israeli government's policies and actions or indicate disapproval of some aspects of Israeli society and the lifestyle of its people, then it isn't. It's not at all absurd to criticize those who give direct or indirect support to Hamas. The terrorist group has said itself it benefits from expressions of support (my bold text). Hamas Slams US Crackdown on Pro-Palestinian College Protests "A senior official of the Palestinian Hamas movement at war with Israel has expressed support for protests being staged in solidarity with Gaza at universities across the United States and condemned efforts to crack down on them in comments shared with Newsweek. 'We in the Hamas movement believe that any popular movement demanding an end to the aggression and genocide against our people are useful and supportive activities for our cause,' Hamas spokesperson Bassem Naim told Newsweek." https://www.newsweek.com/hamas-slams-us-crackdown-pro-palestinian-college-protests-1893962 If a member of AN supports Hamas' stated goal of destroying Israel, then that should be made clear. If they are unknowingly aiding Hamas through posts condemning Israel, then I'm right in trying to open their eyes. Do you want to be "useful" to Hamas and "supportive" of its cause? This is the crux of our disagreement. I see the actions taken by the IDF in Gaza as necessary for the defense of the Jewish homeland. The nature of urban warfare and Hamas' policy of hiding its members and weapons among the civilian population are responsible for civilian deaths. It's Hamas, not Israel and the IDF, which should be condemned for the suffering of civilians in Gaza. -
