in reply to AutisticMumTo3 • • •This may not be related to Gaza. The news always connects antisemitism with Gaza. Don’t blame all Jews for what is happening in Gaza. For starters many Jews don't agree with it but even if they did they are not all responsible. The person ultimately responsible is Netanyahu.

in reply to AutisticMumTo3 • • •Excuse me, but over 80% of all Israelis approve of ethnically cleansing Palestinians. It's not just Netanyahu by a long shot.
At least Germans could claim that they didn't know about their genocide. Israelis have no such excuse. And they persecute those Israelis who do not support the extermination of all Palestinians.
Pinning it all on Netanyahu is completely contemptible.

in reply to Quasit • • •AutisticMumTo3
in reply to AutisticMumTo3 • • •Ultimately Netanyahu being responsible is he is the one primarily responsible for making the decisions not that no one supports his actions or even has a part in the decision making process. Like Tony Blair was Ultimately responsible for taking the UK armed forces into Iraq. Some supported it. Parliament had a part in the decision process. But the buck stopped with him.
