What a surprise!
They've never said that in the face of criticism or anything before, have they?

Classic zionist deflection.
Palestinians are semitic people too
Israelis are not.
Oh noes, Israel has called someone else antisemitic for criticizing and acting against them again? Who'da thunk?
I guess if you only have one card you have to play it for all it's worth.
It's becoming funny now. But the sad truth is that Israel is harming Jews everywhere by rendering the term meaningless
It's not funny at all. It is, has ever been, will remain only a cynical, calculated move to use Jewishness to silence dissent.
Classic Zionist deflection is their last recourse, it would seem. I suppose because of their loss of the narrative over their obvious genocide against the people of Palestine.
To the UK, France, Canada: thank you.
Don't forget Ireland!
And brave South Africa.
The UK have literally done fuck all though & this threat of sanctions is lip service to public opinion (+400,000 marched through London last weekend but you'd never know from British media!).
David Lammy, the foreign secretary said that he had suspended 29 of the 300+ arms contracts to ensure they wouldn't be used against civilians in Gaza.
He didn't specify our give any details about those contacts, just a vague bit of handwaving.
Now we know that the UK has flown+600 surveillance flights over Gaza since October 7th (from the still colonised Cyprus) & have passed that intel to the Israelis.
The state never does anything willingly & when it dies stood like this, it's purely performative.
Classic zionist deflection.
Antisemitism is a badge of honor now like anti Nazi was in the past. Genocidal monsters.
Antisemitism definitely isn't. Getting called antisemitic by Israel, on the other hand? Certainly.
That was obviously my intended context but thanks for the apropos correction.
