Human rights organisation Amnesty International on Tuesday accused Israel of committing a “live-streamed genocide” against Palestinians in Gaza by forcibly displacing most of the population and deliberately creating a humanitarian catastrophe.
In its annual report, Amnesty charged that Israel had acted with “specific intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza, thus committing genocide”.
Israel’s foreign ministry rejected the accusations of genocide as “baseless lies” and accused Amnesty International of being a “radical anti-Israel organisation”.
I remember when Israel loudly and vehemently denied they were sterilizing ethiopian jews who had emmigrated to Israel. That it was ridiculous and slanderous.

So Gaza is not the Israeli governments first genocide. They lie about everything. When they say something is “baseless lies”, they base it solely on whats convenient to them, not any sort of truth.
Remember when the Israelis were caught red handed by an Al Jazeera camera crew bombing the Gaza City hospital. And then we had a weeks-long struggle session of media figures asserting that it was unclear whether Hamas had actually bombed the hospital themselves. And then the IDF bombed the Al Jazeera offices in Gaza. And then the IDF very deliberately and explicitly bombed the Gaza City hospital over and over again. They kidnapped the chief surgeon, shoved him into a torture prison, sodomized him until he was uncontrollably bleeding, and released him to die of his wounds several days later?
And this was all under the Biden Administration, back when our policy was ostensibly about ending the violence?
Fucking crazy times. I wonder if Amnesty International is going to get tarred as antisemitic over this statement or if the Israelis have given up caring in their orgy of bloodshed.
Antisemitism has lost it’s meaning. Any time you raise your voice against any kind of powerful people, it’s discrimination why?
The Zionist conflation of anti-zionism and antisemitism is directly responsible for the increase of genuine antisemitism worldwide
Exactly why it’s so important to call out that conflation at every opportunity
Antisemitism has lost it’s meaning.
You can go on Twitter and find some ripe fucking comments. The hair brained “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” conspiracy-theory angle of antisemitism is alive and well. It’s just got nothing to do with Israelis butchering any Arab or Persian they can get in their crosshairs.

Associating Jewishness with Powerfulness is a nut of a lot of the conspiracy theories.
The game is always to conflate “Israelis are being called powerful because they are Jewish” and obscure “Israelis are being called powerful because they have a strong military and the full support of the US national security apparatus.”
When they say “never again” they just meant to them.
Not even just for them-- its just for white european jews. Israel secretly birth-control drugged their population of ethiopian jews and told them it was vitamin shots.
Sodomized means raped, right? Sorry, I don’t know religious terminology.
Typically anally, yes.
The term sodomy on its own usually means anal sex, but in this particular case, the verb form “sodomize” is indeed referring to

anal rape.
