Fran, Israel well and truly has lost the forever victimhood strategy. They have forfeited the empathy of most of humanity for what the Jewish people suffered under Hitler's Nazis. It is horrific how they have turned into a copy of their tormentors; using the very same words the Nazis used to demean and deny the Palestinians their humanity. Cataloguing Israel's crimes is becoming almost banal, making Caitlin turn to irony.
We live in a strange hubristic world where everything is upside down; inside out. The US vetoes a stop to the carnage, trotting out the weasel words of Israel's right to defend itself. The International Court of Justice - a misnomer if ever there was one - which was quick off the mark to accuse Putin of warcrimes for bussing children out of a war zone, is silent about the slaughter of Palestinian children!
I don't know if you live in the US, but the press allows Israel to keep pushing it's victim status to justify everything it does, and one reason they're allowed to get away with it is because the US government assists them in that regard. Many people are being accused of posting antisemitic comments, and they're losing their jobs. On CNN Blinken spoke of the multiple rapes that occurred on Oct 7 with a sense of absolute horror, implying it's just about the worst thing that has happened. I thought that was found to be untrue, and to my knowledge no hostages claimed they were raped. He really used it as a diversion from the carnage that is taking place in Gaza. He never even referenced the dead. When he spoke of Gaza and it's needs, it was without feeling, and with no sense of judgement. If anyone is generating antisemitism it's those that are defending the carnage taking place in Gaza.
