@repdeliaramirez This is a blood libel. Classic Jew-hatred.

[Rabbi Eyal Bitton @eyalbitton]

@IhabHassane You provide quality name-calling while Hausdorff provides facts and legal arguments.

[Aviva Klompas @AvivaKlompas]

The @WSJ Editorial Board rightly asks "How is it a U.S. “value” to disarm an ally fighting against murderous enemies that fire rockets on civilian towns?"

"The vote by 103 House Democrats on Wednesday to block U.S. arms to Israel as it fights a multifront war is a shocking abandonment of an ally. It’s a sign of the rapid conquest of the Democratic Party by its anti-Israel wing...

Israel has violated no U.S. laws we know of. As for U.S. interests, Israel is fighting by the side of the U.S. against Iran and fighting alone against Iran’s proxies that have killed Americans. The defense relationship with Israel is a U.S. military advantage that helps maintain America’s technological edge over adversaries. When Democrats are voting to abandon even Iron Dome missile defense, this is self-sabotage out of anti-Israel animus.

It’s one thing to oppose Mr. Trump’s war on Iran, but it’s a far more radical step to cut loose a steadfast ally."

Under International Law there is no “Illegal occupation” by Israel

None.

The sheer scale of rocket fire against Israel from seven fronts in the last three years is insane.

[Naya Lekht 🇮🇱 🇺🇸ניה לכת @LekhtNaya]

Herein lies the problem within the Jewish community which persists to reframe antizionist harassment as “debate,” a corollary of wanting to exist in “nuance” and “complexity” in the face of antizionist libels. I really don’t know any other group that internalizes the abuse as much as the Jewish people.

[Naya Lekht 🇮🇱 🇺🇸ניה לכת @LekhtNaya]

I know this be super difficult to hear, but antizionism does not care who leads Israel—whether Bibi Netanyahu, Benny Gantz, or David Ben-Gurion. It is a deep-seated hostility that casts Israel as a uniquely evil state, unworthy of existence.

The proof is in the Soviet pudding. On the left is an image from Trofim Kichko's 1963 vitriolic Judaism Without Embellishment. On the right is a political cartoon from UCLA's student newspaper depicting Netanyahu crossing out words from the Ten Commandments.

The problem is that I cannot even give the UCLA students a C for effort. There is nothing original or thought-provoking here. It is simply the recycling of an old tradition of demonization 101.

[Rabbi Eyal Bitton @eyalbitton]

@JonahPlatt Pro-Palestinians are not pro-Palestinian, they simply have a concrete hatred for the Jewish state and seek to demonize it and destroy it.

[Rabbi Eyal Bitton @eyalbitton]

@MarkJCarney The most dangerous form of Jew-hatred today is antizionism. Antizionism is not legitimate criticism of a state, it’s a hate movement whose goal is the eradication of the Jewish state. Until you make it, face it, and confront it, it will grow.

@jacobkornbluh “As a Jew.”

[Rabbi Eyal Bitton @eyalbitton]

@TadhgHickey Facts offend you?

[Rabbi Eyal Bitton @eyalbitton]

@mark_slapinski And you want us to believe that hating Israel has nothing to do with Jews - while you start off right away with that linkage.

[Rabbi Eyal Bitton @eyalbitton]

@AnitaAnandMP Statements like this is precisely why the antizionist bigots are emboldened to act against Jewish institutions across Canada. If you believed the last line of your statement, you’d call out the Palestinians, not the Israelis, for opposing every single offer of statehood.

[Rabbi Eyal Bitton @eyalbitton]

@nurdogandiyorki This person wants you to believe that these pro-Palestinians are protesting Israel’s current conduct while the truth is they object to Israel’s existence and seek the genocide of over half the world’s Jewish population.

[ד״ר עינת וילף Dr. Einat Wilf @EinatWilf]

The “Palestinian-Israeli Conflict” is actually quite simple in its essence: The Jews want a state, the Palestine Arabs want above all that the Jews will not have a state.
The rest is details.

[Rabbi Eyal Bitton @eyalbitton]

@ishaan_ANI Iran launches a ballistic missile attack on Israeli civilians and you say Israel’s reaction means the ceasefire is broken??!!

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

The violence against Canadian Jews isn’t letting up. https://t.co/nJHI3dk6ql
