If it weren’t anti semitism they would apologize. Instead they are now saying that it doesn’t matter because they have done it before and completely forgot about the victims they claimed to be outraged about.
I’m not anti-semitic. I love every Jewish person I’ve met so far. However, I am anti-zionist. Putting this up front so you can ignore everything else after…
It doesn’t matter who did this attack or accident or whatever. I never had an opinion on who did it. I still don’t. Why it doesn’t matter though is because either side has done plenty of horrible things. For example, Israel told people to feel south, then attack the civilian convoy. Attacking a hospital would have been a particularly bad example, but it never should have been used as the primary example because there are unquestioned attacks on civilians that can be pointed at. Why does anyone need to use an unverified claim? I always thought it was stupid.
Similarly, people were sharing claims about babies being beheaded based on one person’s statements. This claim still can’t be backed up and Israel has said it won’t investigate it. Why did anyone ever spread it except that it sounds particularly bad? There were plenty of horrible acts that weren’t in question.
People just need to chill out and wait for varification for things that aren’t well known before spreading them. It just makes whatever you’re supporting look incompetent if it’s wrong later.
Behadead babies is confirmed by numerous sources. Both the convoy and hospital have been shown to be most likely Hamas or PIJ by independent analysis. Same with 500 deaths at the hospital which analysis showed that it’s unlikely to be more than a couple dozens. Tragedy and horrendous, but I don’t see anyone condemning PIJ for it or calling them to stop firing rockets.
The main issue here is the burden of proof.
It seems that Hamas word is taken at face value while Israel is always considered as lying.
You either check facts, and then need to check the claims of both sides, or not. You either care about civilians and then need to care about civilians from both sides or not.
The last couple of weeks showed, at least to me, that many of the people that claim that they care about facts and civilians only do when it’s for the “right” side.
