Israel’s war in Gaza is chipping away at so much of what we – in the United States but also internationally – had agreed upon as acceptable, from the rules governing our freedom of speech to the very laws of armed conflict. It seems no exaggeration to say that the foundation of the international order of the last 77 years is threatened by this change in the obligations governing our legal and political responsibilities to each other.

    It’s their little pet conflict, they don’t care about anything else and arguably don’t really care about gaza or palestine. Most probably don’t even know the difference between the two.

    If you call out obvious iranian propaganda or do so much as hinting at “using women and children as human shields is bad”, you are a zionist, genocide-apologist, blahblahblah.

    Calling out antisemitism, especially within the self-proclaimed political left, is another sure way to get some ad hominem insults and/or threats.

    That being said, your comment is still a straw man.
