You cannot commit genocide in Gaza, invade Lebanon, bomb Iran, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq, violate Geneva and Vienna Conventions, international law, human rights, and state sovereignty, then hide behind anti-Semitism.
There is no rise in anti-Semitism. There is a rise in the number of people who are very angry at what Israel is doing. Your inability to separate the two is equally problematic.
How is it possible that a country that shreds the UN Charter, murdered over 400 UN personnel, bombed and occupied 420 UN facilities, banned UN officials from accessing its territory, does not allow IAEA inspectors to visit its nuclear weapons facilities, violated all international norms, and defied all UN resolutions, is still addressing the UN tomorrow represented by its prime minister—an ICC-wanted war criminal.
What you are looking at is one of the mass graves in DR Congo.
Congo is bleeding, It has not ended over 5 million people are dead and millions especially 40,000 children are in labor camps. Women are being force-fed human flesh, all with the worst Ebola outbreak on record.
The world must remember that we live in a society, not an economy.
Israel has killed an average of seven children each day in Lebanon since March, according to the Save the Children relief organization.
"Over the last six months, Israel has killed at least 4,300 people, wounded over 12,000 and destroyed between 60 and 70 villages... The toll includes at least 257 children killed and 1,039 injured."
"A nationwide assessment conducted by Lebanon’s Ministry of Education and Higher Education has found that 340 schools have been damaged or destroyed in the past six months."
"At least 100,000 children are at risk of missing the next school year without urgent action to restore Lebanon’s schools,"

Rather obviously (at least, I had assumed it would be obvious to most), there is a middle option that doesn’t involve either granting permission, or shooting down any aircraft.
That is simply refusing permission.
Six Nobel Prize-winning economists support California’s billionaire tax. Here’s why.
10 years ago, the richest 0.001% of Californians were worth $700 billion. Today, these 250 people are worth $2.3 trillion.
The California income tax they paid over that period was just 1.6% of that gain. A nurse or a plumber pays a higher state tax rate.
French judge Nicolas Gouyou, who issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu at the ICC, says Visa and Mastercard blocked all his cards, leaving him unable to make purchases.
He says judges, lawyers, & politicians are being intimidated & treated as criminals.
All of Ed Sheeran’s openers have now withdrawn from the Looper Tour. Please realize how big this is. This is what unity looks like. Billionaires are terrified of people realizing how strong they can be when we come together for a cause. Continue speaking out. Support the new artists that are deciding to put their careers at risk to take this stance.
Breaking: Macklemore was just kicked off Ed Sheeren’s tour for speaking out against genocide.
Here is what he said:
“Free Palestine! I want those words to be loud and clear so the people from Gaza all the way to the occupied West Bank know we have not forgotten them. To all of my Jewish brothers and sisters: criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide is in no way a criticism of you. My message is for peace. Love for all human beings to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality. None of us will be free until we are all free.”
Israel has killed over 100,000 Palestinians and has also killed free speech in the United States.
Macklemore just summed it all up perfectly:
“I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.
The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone.”
Enough is enough. Stop the genocide and stop the assault on free speech that Israel is waging to silence any and all criticism of its barbaric policies.
The world’s highest court has already told Israel to return to Palestinians the remaining 22% of historic Palestine (Gaza, West Bank, east Jerusalem) that it illegally occupies since 1967.
And the political minions of the world behave as though intl law were theirs to dismiss!
Israelis who block aid trucks to feed starving children in Gaza are considered civilians.
Yemenis who block trade routes to prevent genocide in Gaza are considered terrorists.
This world has completely lost its meaning.
The repeated israeli murder of children & displaced people by drones is INDISPUTABLE evidence that civilians are being intentionally targeted https://t.co/C51bJYtKDn
Today, we remember that dark day years ago, when evil men in the name of a global anti-human ideology carried out despicable terrorist acts that overthrew the democratically elected government of President Salvador Allende in Chile, violently dismantling the country’s democracy and stripping millions of people of their rights.
The U.S.-backed fascist coup ushered in a brutal dictatorship marked by widespread human-rights abuses, while advancing economic policies that enabled the exploitation of workers and the plundering of Chile’s resources.
We remember those who suffered, and we must never forget the legacy of U.S. anti-democratic criminal actions and global right-wing terrorism.
The UN Human Rights Council just confirmed US blockade against Cuba violates human rights and international law, citing Article 33 of Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits collective punishment.
The US is starving and killing babies in Cuba just like Israel is starving and killing babies in Gaza.
The U.S. sanctions against Cuba must be lifted immediately. This’s a crime against humanity.
In November 2023, @IDF forced all the medical staff out of Al-Nasr Hospital with 30 minutes warning. The assured the staff they would take care of the babies in the pediatric ICU.
The babies were later found dead, and decomposing in their hospital beds and incubators – still attached to their medical equipment. They were left to die in the most barbaric conditions by the Israeli military.
One example of millions.
All proudly in plain sight.
Biden administration officials now claim they didn't know if warcrimes were being comitted. They are amongst the most grotesque of war criminals responsible for genocide and must be held accountable. @ABlinken

"The scene inside the Al-Nasr hospital ICU ward is chilling. The tiny bodies of babies, several still attached to wires and tubes that were meant to keep them alive, decomposing in their hospital beds. Milk bottles and spare diapers still next to them on the sheets." @CNN, December, 2023.
