Is it antisemitic to condemn the Israeli government for starving 2 million people? - Magical Realist - May 28, 2025
No...in fact it is monstrous what Israel is doing to Palestinians in its blockade of food supplies into Gaza. Do you know what it feels like to starve to death? To watch your children starve when you are helpless to do anything about it? If you are cheerleading Israel for what they are doing, you are also a monster.

Moron, you're watching Al Jazeera, funded by Qater, a Muslim country hostile to Israel and a state sponsor of terrorism.
Of course they're going paint Israel as the bad guy. That's what Hamas has been counting on all along... as they steal any food supplies that enter Gaza.
You might not be antisemitic so much as you are gullible. But if you try to defend Qatar and Hamas (whose health ministry controls all information, to spin their propaganda), you will definitely be culpable of antisemitism.

Sounds like the genetic fallacy again. The news report is true and accurate. So do you support the starvation of Palestinians by the Israeli govt or not? And what do the 2 million Palestinians being murdered by Israel now have to do with terrorist attacks?

Not a genetic fallacy when it clearly shows the motive for biased and fake news coverage.
You have no idea if it is true or accurate. Otherwise you could support it with better sources.
You're just a moron leftist, being led around by your emotions by bad people interested in doing just that.

No idiot. We've been thru this. It could be a newsstory from the Storm Front website and still be true. The validity of an argument or point of view or factual claim is in no way affected by the perceived or actual moral standing of the person or organization making it:
"The genetic fallacy (also known as the fallacy of origins or fallacy of virtue)[1] is a fallacy of irrelevance in which arguments or information are dismissed or validated based solely on their source of origin rather than their content. In other words, a claim is ignored or given credibility based on its source rather than the claim itself."

You can't be this ignorant of current events. I learned about this just now from the ABC Evening News. Wow..now there's an antisemitic source! lol

No..I'm a human being very concerned that other innocent human beings and their children are being starved to death by the Israeli blockade of food and supplies into their homeland. The same human being who mourns the tragedy of the Jewish Holocaust and all terrorism and genocide against any people in any country. You should be ashamed for supporting this atrocity. But heck...I guess being a sociopath spares you all that compassion and natural empathy. How convenient!

No, you're the same gullible moron you've always proven yourself to be. And now in the service of anti-Semites.
You think the WHO, UN, and Redcross are credible, even though they have been known to provide cover/carry water for evil regimes.
The Gazans could end any blockage very quickly, by overthrowing Hamas and returning the remaining hostages/bodies. The reason they don't? There's still enough support to allow themselves to be used as propaganda pawns.

Israel’s UN Ambassador Accuses UN Of ‘Mafia-Like’ ‘Shakedown’ Refusing U.S.-Backed Aid To Gaza
On Wednesday, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, accused the UN of a “brutal … Mafia-like” response to U.S.-backed non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that wanted to help in the humanitarian effort to provide aid to Gaza.
Danon accused the UN of removing the NGOs of the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) from the shared aid database.
“Not only did the UN refuse to condemn Hamas for its efforts to sabotage the new aid senders — we have seen the pictures of Hamas blocking people — but the UN is now actively joining Hamas in trying to block that aid,” Danon noted. “The UN is using threats, intimidation, and retaliation against NGOs that choose to participate in the new humanitarian mechanism.”

Quote:The U.N. and other international aid groups have refused to work with the GHF because they say the plan is not neutral
.
"This new scheme is surveillance-based rationing that legitimizes a policy of deprivation by design," senior U.N. aid official for the occupied Palestinian territories, Jonathan Whittall, told reporters in Jerusalem on Wednesday.
"The U.N. has refused to participate in this scheme, warning that it is logistically unworkable and violates humanitarian principles by using aid as a tool in Israel's broader efforts to depopulate areas of Gaza," he said.

So what the UN seems to be saying is that the GHF is a part of Israel's war effort NOT a humanitarian outfit as claimed. In fairness it may be a 'kinder' strategy to move people around by strategic feeding/starving rather than by shooting them - but let's at least be honest about it.
Quote:Head of controversial Israel-backed Gaza aid group resigns
The head of an organisation set up to distribute aid in Gaza as part of a controversial Israel-backed plan has resigned, saying it could not work in a way that adhered to "humanitarian principles".
Jake Wood quit the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) late on Sunday, saying it would not be able to fulfil the principles of "humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence".
