I guess you slept through the yearly 10/7 Israel has been doing to the Palestinians for 20 years?

20 years? David Ben Gurion, first prime minister of Israel and member of the terrorist organization Irgun, was doing this even in the 1930s

Palestinians want Hamas gone. Hamas is shooting the ones who are protesting Hamas.
.
Israel military is made up of criminal thugs no better than Hamas, just lucky they have support and the world turning a blind eye to the war crimes.

57 dead, almost 10,000 admitted for acute malnutrition. I'm sure we'll be seeing daily or even hourly headlines like this in the weeks to come as Israel executes it's planned of mass starvation on 2.3 million in Gaza.

Good thing Biden wasn't elected. Based on what everyone here said about him all of Gaza would already be starved.

Objecting to actions of the Israeli government doesn’t make one anti-Semitic. One-third of protestors against the Gaza conflict at some universities are Jews. Many Jews are standing up against the atrocities of the Israeli state.

Why isn’t the Arab world coming to Gaza’s aid and defense? Israel is literally the small island in a sea of Moslem countries. Plus hasn’t Egypt refused to open their border? I just don’t understand why there is so much humanitarian suffering when the Arab world could easily bring in aid through the Egyptian border.

Why doesn't Israel stop the Nazi-like forced starvation of Gaza with a population of 2.3 million that comprises of mostly children and women?

Hamas is an Iran proxy. The Arab governments don't like them either, and they don't care enough to get involved.

Because Hamas won't surrender.

It is sickening. I can't read the coverage. I used to believe in Israel. My faith is gone.

Unfortunately, you seem very confused about what is anti-semitism and what isn’t anti-semitism.

Express hostile views toward semitic people (spoiler alert: it’s not just Jewish people!) solely for the fact of their religion or their culture (in the case of Jewish people, a cultural identity that debuted in the late 19th century)?

That’s anti-semitism.

Criticize, denounce, scorn, boycott, short sell securities on their stock exchange, smite, encourage others to join you in doing so, or express any other form of disdain toward Israel in response to its policies and actions?

That’s not anti-semitism.

Criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic, but there’s often a double standard when it comes to Israel’s actions in the press and the court of public opinion. Some people see that as veiled antisemitism. For all the outrage on Gaza’s horrific suffering, where were all these people for the Sudanese, for the Rwandans, for the Cambodians, etc? Gaza is far from the only humanitarian crisis of the last 50 years and yet one of the only that has elicited protests and campus ire.

Love the whataboutism. This is like the 10th instance of it already in this thread maybe? You already know the answer but I'll engage you anyways.

Our tax dollars aren't funding and enabling those other humanitarian crises.

You should do some research on all the human misery that has been funded over the years by the USG and CIA.
