The whole idea that saying anything critical of Israel is anti-semitic is just a way of silencing voices speaking out against the government and the administration that run it. You can criticise Trump without being xenophobic against the US, you can criticise the Tories without being anti-UK etc.

Accusing someone of being anti-semitic based on nothing is quite low and it undercuts the suffering of Jews by turning it into a cheap weapon to silence people with valid views. Critcising the human rights abuse that the Israel government have carried out against Palestinian citizens is not the same as hating jews and it's just incredibly bad faith to make it out to be.

The off topic that occurred on this thread later doesnt change anything.

In your opinion of course.
In my life it did, by the time I read a few pages of off topic I was no wiser if it was a soldier shooting his girlfriend..or showing his girlfriend, or if it was some random woman, or maybe a woman soldier shooting an innocent random.
I did however get the bit about it being rubber bullets...cos it got me singing
to an old 10cc tune.

The info was a bit messed up in the op, Smudgie. It was actually a female soldier that shot the unarmed civilian as he walked away. She has since been fired for it.

[The Channel 13 report quoted the
police as saying the man was not seriously hurt.]
[the incident took place in May 2018]

[a sponge-tipped bullet “for fun” after a video of the incident emerged over the weekend.]


Good he is OK Now
