Yes, there is antisemitism in pro-Palestinian conversations. Yes, there is antisemitic criticisms of Israel. But framing this as "killing high numbers of civillians" is misleading. This isn't just "high numbers" of civilians, it's record breaking numbers. The number of children killed in Gaza in the past 177 days is more than in the past 4 years of all other global conflicts.

Israel has consistently targeted civillian populations (or accepted hundreds of civillian deaths as "collateral damage") as well as targeting infrastructure. Israel has targeted previously designated safe areas and refugee camps, which have become the most densely populated places on earth (ie Rafah). Israel has targeted hospitals. Israel has blocked humanitarian aid, manufacturing starvation. Israel has utilized chemical weapons. Israel has murdered journalists and hostages they are supposedly rescuing. Israel has murdered people waving white flags. Israel has committed countless atrocities and war crimes. This is not a "war" with "high civillian casualties", this is brutality, violence, and if genocide is to strong a word for you, by definition ethnic cleansing.

It hurts to see antisemitism masked as anti-Zionism and there is valid critique of antisemitic rethoric but now is really not the time. You are so blinded by your need for "🌟nuance🌟", to your both-sidesism, to your "it's complicated"s that you can't see reality. The obsession with nuance is damaging. This is not a two sided issue. There is no equality in this. The presence of antisemitism has no bearing on the reality of genocide. Your nuance is unhelpful in stopping the violence. And when you frame this as "Israel is doing bad things but is being criticized unfairly", you distract from reality: a genocide is occurring. Stopping it is priority number one, not the optics of criticizing Israel, not unpacking everyone's internalized antisemitism and the prevalence of antisemitic stereotypes, tropes, and language in society at large or within pro-Palestinian circles; stopping a genocide.

I think it would be helpful for everyone to acknowledge that "Israel is killing a high number of civilians in Gaza AND THAT IS BAD AND WRONG" can and does coexist with "other countries also do pretty much this exact thing and worse literally all the time but Israel gets a much more aggressive response because of antisemitism and that is a legitimate problem". One does not negate the other. This is called

Well, we’ll see if anything happens.

Now, I saw this.

But I wasn’t able to find any US based news stations talking about it. Well, not as specific as this in any case.

I did see this:

DOHA, Dec 14 (Reuters) - The United States wants to form the "broadest possible" maritime coalition to protect ships in the Red Sea and send an "important signal" to Yemen's Houthis that further attacks will not be tolerated, the U.S. envoy for Yemen told Reuters.4 days ago.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-seeks-broadest-possible-red-sea-maritime-coalition-against-houthi-attacks-2023-12-14/#:~:text=DOHA%2C%20Dec%2014%20(Reuters),envoy%20for%20Yemen%20told%20Reuters.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-seeks-broadest-possible-red-sea-maritime-coalition-against-houthi-attacks-2023-12-14/#:~:text=DOHA%2C%20Dec%2014%20(Reuters),envoy%20for%20Yemen%20told%20Reuters

But the language isn’t like that of Israel’s article. And I don’t know what US officials may or may not have said.. because well, I didn’t see anything.

And of course, Iran is making more empty threats. I say empty, because Iran hasn’t followed through with a single threat thus far. It’s the boy who cried wolf.

And it’s not a question at this point whether ships are being attacked, they are. It’s not a question of whether the US bases have been attacked (100 times thus far as of December 17, 2023). It’s merely a question of whether or not the US is going to escalate hostilities in response to ships being attacked indiscriminately at this point, merely for crossing the Red Sea. And if the US does so act, will any action be taken against them? US bases are already being attacked..

And this article came out 3 days ago, 97 is now 100.

And US battleships have already been fired on. But the US, despite what little has been posted about Israel supposedly being told they have to cease hostilities by the end of the year… has refused thus far to make a sizable retaliation for the actions taken against them.

So… will the US attack Yemen in any sort of meaningful way to make up for the attacks on the cargo ships? Scare them back? And if such an attack takes place, will the world tolerate it, due to the amount of money these attacks are costing international commerce?

Or will this turn into word war 3, right when all the major Christmas shopping for the year has already taken place?

The Avengers and The Savage Sword of Conan No. 119, week ending 20 December 1975. Marvel UK.

[shape]

Wide public support for Hamas’ offensive on October the 7th, but the vast majority denies that Hamas has committed atrocities against Israeli civilians. The war increases Hamas’ popularity and greatly weakens the standing of the PA and its leadership; nonetheless, the majority of the Palestinians remains unsupportive of Hamas. Support for armed struggle rises, particularly in the West Bank and in response to settlers’ violence, but support for the two-state solution rises somewhat. The overwhelming majority condemns the positions taken by the US and the main European powers during the war and express the belief that they have lost their moral compass

https://pcpsr.org/sites/default/files/Poll%2090%20English%20press%20release%2013%20Dec%202023%20Final%20New.pdf

22 November-2 December 2023

This poll has been conducted in cooperation with the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung in Ramallah

Findings indicate that the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip has had a significant impact on a range of internal Palestinian issues and on Palestinian-Israeli relations. The most important of these effects can be summarized in the following changes:

Support for Hamas has more than tripled in the West Bank compared to three months ago. In the Gaza Strip, support for Hamas increased but not significantly. Despite the increase in its popularity, the majority in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip does not support Hamas. It is worth noting that support for Hamas usually rises temporarily during or immediately after a war and then returns to the previous level several months after the end of the war.

Support for President Mahmoud Abbas and his Fateh party drops significantly. The same is true for the trust in the PA as a whole, as demand for its dissolution rises to nearly 60%, the highest percentage ever recorded in PSR polls. Demand for Abbas's resignation is rising to around 90 percent, and even higher in the West Bank. Despite the decline in support for Fatah and Abbas, the most popular Palestinian figure remains Marwan Barghouti, a Fatah leader. Barghouti is still able to beat Hamas’ candidate Ismail Haniyeh or any other.

Support for armed struggle rises ten percentage points compared to three months ago, with more than 60% saying it is the best means of ending the Israeli occupation; in the West Bank, the percentage rises further to close to 70%. Moreover, a majority in the West Bank believes that the formation of armed groups in communities subject to settler attacks is the most effective means of combating settler terrorism against towns and villages in the West Bank.

Despite the above-mentioned reference to the lack of confidence in the seriousness of US and European talk about reviving the two-state solution and despite the increase in support for armed struggle, support for the two-state solution has not dropped in this poll. To the contrary, support for this solution has increased slightly in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. This increase seems to come especially from those who believe that the US and European talk about the two-state solution is indeed serious.
