That is one of the issues. Israelis and diaspora Jews do not see a distinction. All rubbish, of course. How can criticizing the current Israeli government precisely equate to criticism of all 12 tribes of Israel, wherever they are? Unfortunately, a people who understand oppression more than anyone and who punch way above their weight in all aspects of intellectual and creative achievement have a genuine blind spot on this.

Oh cool, we're doing this bit again.

The atrocities in Gaza are being committed by a state who are our trade partner and military ally. These are actions which were, certainly in immediate aftermath of October 7th, green lighted by pretty much the entirety of our political class. As a result, this situation holds far more of my attention than other acts of terror which take place around the globe, as horrible as they are.

This is not a war against democracy nor against the West (much of Europe is now overtly in opposition to Israel's action) - that is fantasy talk to try and give credibility to an unnecessary genocide, and presumably an attempt to make yourself feel more comfortable with your support of the ongoing slaughter of children.

As I have said countless times, I 'support' the preservation of innocent human lives, nothing more.

I ain't doing it for points.

It might not have occurred to you that I am British and therefore concern myself primarily with how policy affects my country and my immediate situation.
I can affect that in a small way with a vote in the election and by adding my voice to the ever growing anger about what is going on in my homeland.

One can shout as loud as one likes about Gaza, but no one in Israel or the Hamas leadership is listening.

Your bias towards Hamas often stems from various factors such as historical narratives, media coverage, geopolitical alliances, and ideological viewpoints, and whatever is trending.

Israel, as a state actor and signatory to international conventions, is held to a higher standard of accountability in its military actions compared to non-state actors like Hamas. This expectation is reinforced by Israel's claim to abide by international law and its military superiority in the conflict.

Israel has every right to protect itself.

Then post something about the
hostages..... You can go on as much as you like saying that you have already pointed out the atrocities of Hamas.
When we all know your anti-semitic racist ideologies.

Israel has the right to defend itself and fighting terrorists is a complex that nuanced situation. anybody, with a gram of common sense knows that. Yes! many civilians are dying. Hostages are still hostages.

And all of this is because of hamas. Not israel.
Or any Western superpower as you put it.

Your statement expresses frustration regarding the perceived unequal treatment of Israel and Hamas in the context of conflicts in the Middle East, particularly when it comes to international law and responsibilities. The statement highlights the expectation for Israel, as a military superpower and signatory of the Geneva Convention, to uphold international law while questioning the actions of Hamas.

it is true that expectations for countries like Israel, which are seen as having more military capabilities and international standing, tend to be higher when it comes to adhering to international law. This expectation is based on their capacity for control and influence in the region.

However, it is also crucial to acknowledge that allegations and reports of human rights violations or breaches of international law occur on both sides of the conflict. Hamas, as an organization, has faced criticism for its tactics and actions, including launching rocket attacks against Israeli civilian areas.

Israel has been under terrorist threats since 1948.
