.Of course criticism of Israel isn't necessarily antisemitic, but it's hardly credible of him to post the video of kids singing anti Palestinian songs as some kind of gotcha when we all know Hamas are indoctrinating Palestinian kids just the same and 5 minutes of googling will find dozens of examples of leaders calling for Jews to be similarly annihilated.
Ah, but that is kind of the point. We never see footage of the racist extremism that exists in certain communities in Israel. But we do see constant commentary on the equivalent that exists in Palestine.
Even the language used around Palestinian prisoner release is interesting. The word 'children' is not being used, even though many of them are. Quite often detained, without charge or trial for years on the basis of nothing. Israelis victims have been "killed", Palestinian victims have "died".
The Israelis are pumping great energy into keeping people's focus in Jewish victims at the exclusion of everything, but most especially context.
Hamas are vile scum. But the truth is if a population are fenced into a prison camp, periodically bombed, frequently shot at, routinely humiliated, and offered nothing but sheer hopelessness, should we be surprised when the political movements that arise resemble Hamas?
