Wasn’t the ruling more or less “try to kill fewer people”? I guess it’s antisemitic to not let Israel kill as many people as they want to for any reason.
At this point I can’t take it at face value unless I know who’s saying it. At least in this case I know it’s coming from a genocidal waste of human life.
It already has lost its meaning. Semites are anyone who speak or spoke a semetic language. Arabic and Hebrew are both semetic languages. Palestinians and Israelis are both semites.
You know, you’re right. It doesn’t matter how words are used, only the etymology matters.
That’s why it’s ok to refer to black people as negros. After all, “negro” is the Spanish word for “black”, so “negros” just means “blacks”. And the n-word is just an English version of negro after all.
The meaning of words is defined by how they’re used. Antisemitic has never been used to refer to anything but hating Jews akin to how the n-word has been used as an insult instead of a neutral descriptor.
You cannot use the n-word as a neutral descriptor, nor can you use the term antisemitism to describe hatred of non-Jewish ethnicities.
Propaganda and cultural isolationism is a hell of a drug. I blame their leaders, and victimhood dialed all the way up. Everyday Israelis are victims themselves of manipulation.
“He further claimed that while Hamas has agreed to a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders in a bid to “establish common ground” [ … ] it will not relinquish its ambition to liberate the entirety of historic “Palestine,” including the territory of the State of Israel.”
Yeah this is how they are going to finally get a state for Palestinians….
I dunno. I quite like Yahoo Serious. I still watch Young Einstein now and again. Where else are you going to watch someone defuse an atomic beer keg with a steam punk electric guitar.
So Israel gave these stupid terms that anyone with a brain cell would refuse, and the 4 Zainoist here will claim “Hamas doesn’t care about Palestinians life, look they refused a peace deal”
When did Hamas suddenly become the good guys anyways? Both leaderships need to go, but acting like Hamas aren’t a bunch of self interested fucks is just silly
Putting 2 million people in impossible living conditions with restricted water electricity in gaza while continuing to build settlement and giving any jew and Israeli passport to live there while building multiple checkpoint to make it impossible for people in west bank to have freedom of movement and expect no resistance movement to come out is just a stupid statement coming from freedom loving people. While they may not be the best, thinking a peaceful resistance would work ( west bank) is stupid at best.
The proposal comes following Netanyahu's rejection of a Hamas offer that sought an end to the war in return for the release of the remaining hostages.
The Israeli government has offered a new proposal to Hamas that would see a two-month ceasefire in return for the release of Israeli hostages, after rebuffing a Hamas offer.
It is also unknown if any of the over 6,000 Palestinians that have been detained by the Israeli military since 7 October from the occupied West Bank will be included in the deal.
Some 250 hostages were taken during Hamas' attack on Israel on 7 October, with 130 being released during a one-week ceasefire in November.
Families of the Israeli hostages have ramped up calls for their release, with protests occurring outside Netanyahu's house and inside the Israeli Knesset on Sunday.
UN agencies have repeatedly called for a ceasefire for an increase in humanitarian aid into Gaza, as UNRWA reports that 570,000 people face catastrophic hunger in the enclave.
