How does Israel Get way with this

More regarding the above -

"A classified CIA report shows the agency was unable to find any evidence to support Israel’s decision to label six prominent Palestinian NGOs as “terrorist organizations”.

"In October, Israel labeled as terror groups Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, Al-Haq, the Bisan Center for Research and Development, Defense for Children International–Palestine, the Union of Agricultural Work Committees, and the Union of Palestinian Women Committees."

Testimony by former members of the IDF concerning settler violence in the occupied territories

"This booklet presents testimonies by soldiers about violent actions perpetrated

by settlers, and follows on from 'The High Command,' a testimony booklet that

we published in 2017 about settler influence on IDF conduct in the West Bank.

These testimonies, like many others, describe a reality marked by unending harm

to and threat toward Palestinian people, property and land. The acts described here

include different kinds of violent attacks, including beatings, stone-throwing and

burning of agricultural fields and groves."

It's sad to think that the main - if not only - reason they've botherd owning up to it at all was the fact she was a US citizen.

MMMMMMMHMMMMM

A good article from an Israeli "refusnik"

"Why is public opposition minimal? Why isn’t there a large, influential camp of Jews in Israel who are saying “enough.” How is it that a technologically advanced, well-educated and wealthy society has not expressed almost any opposition to what is clearly a terrible crime? One of the main reasons is the diet of awareness we are fed when we are children and teenagers. As someone who has just completed 12 years of study I can tell you that morning, noon and night the school system feeds us ultranationalism, militarism and violence."

170k at this pride parade, 250k some years, Tel Aviv being one of the most gay friendly cities in the world.

A short distance away, homosexuality means death honour killings are legal. Even when the family have to track you down.

How does Israel get away with it, being a gay Mecca, in the part of the world where the death penalty still stands for being gay, if your family and local community don't kill you first.

This is how:

I believe the term is "pinkwashing". It tends not to mention that Israel uses homosexualty as a black mail weapon to make Palestinians turn informant. It's rather silly, in that you're talking about a regime that runs an apartheid system in the OT, yet because they're nice to Israeli gay folk its somehow ok.

It's called propaganda.

Israel are the ones mentioned as they are the ones committing a slow genocide and they are getting away with it. Jews who don't commit violence are lovely people but Israeli soldiers who murder are scumbags. People who are critical of Israel are not racist, they just happen to think murdering women and children is wrong. If a black man kills a child am I racist if I think he should be punished?

And as we both know the vast majority of the deaths are on the Palestinian side. Ah so a few people think something so you assume everyone must have the same opinion.. so if I meet a few foreign people who are against gay people then that means all foreign people are against gay people yeah? You sound like you haven't put any actual thought into what your saying.

Rehearsed? Do you have an issue with genuine facts? Do you think we should ignore the fact that Israel are murdering women and children?

Anti semitism in Ireland is rare. In any case claiming anti semitism is sidestepping the fact that a slow genoside is happening.

The main reason for the condemnation is because one side is slaughtering the other, a bit like Russia and Ukraine. Only one side is murdering Women and children.

To suggest as you do that Israel is targeted because of antisemitism is simply absurd and without foundation. Are there people who are anti-Semitic, yes, but to reduce the opposition to the mass murder, torture, incarceration and subjugation of the Palestinian people by successive Israeli governments and their shock troops in the IDF to antisemitism is dishonest and reductive?

The myth of antisemitism under Corbyn has been shown for the sham it was by the Al Jazeera investigative series, Starmer and his cronies have run for cover and have refused to comment on it.

That Israeli people are largely Jewish is an important factor in this.

I don't agree with how they handle things regarding many issues but it is a country in a bad neighbourhood where antisemitism is a religious obligation, as is killing gay people. It's a democracy with a strong record of gay rights worker's rights, cooperative movements, workers collectives etc.

It should be viewed as a country like Republican Spain but for many the Jewish question keeps rearing its ugly head.

Not everyone in the Pro Palestinian camp is anti Semitic, far from it but it has become a magnet for anti Semitic activists.

And with Israel declaring themselves a Jewish ethnic state they seem eager to stir the pot hey

If Israel was annexing Crimea half the states would be crowing how antisemitic it would be for us to interfere with their imperialism
