1. Meanwhile, Netanyahu: “It is antisemitic to hold any of us accountable, by definition!!!!”

   People who took AIPAC money: “Yes, my lord, we will smear everyone who don’t agree with the Israeli government as antisemites”

2. Yeah. I’m done with it. In the past I’d try to walk on eggshells, but he’s trying to use Jewish history to shield himself. There are still the blind and the malicious that will try to throw the anti-semite term around, but I could care less. If being against dead children… both Israeli and Palestinian… makes me an anti-semite, so be it.

   The question is, why are they OK with killing babies?

3. “Jewish U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders issued a scathing statement Thursday pushing back against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s characterization of burgeoning protests on American university campuses as “antisemitic,” declaring, “It is not antisemitic to hold you accountable for your actions.”

   “No, Mr. Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months, your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000—70% of whom are women and children,” said Sanders (I-Vt.). “It is not antisemitic to point out that your bombing has completely destroyed more than 221,000 housing units in Gaza, leaving more than one million people homeless—almost half the population.”

   “Antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to many millions of people,” continued Sanders, who lost family members to the Nazi Holocaust. “But, please, do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government. Do not use antisemitism to deflect attention from the criminal indictment you are facing in the Israeli courts.””

4. Bernie: Its not anti-semitic to hold you accountable. We can stand with our allys without enabling their war crimes.

   Netanyahu: Yes it it is. To criticize me for anything is racist. Also, death to Palestinians.

   Progressives: No, its not ya media controlling, Jew. Its anti-*zionism*. A completely different word!

   Hamas: Yeah what they said! Also, please dont shoot until I get a palestinian child to hide behind.

   Palestinians: we fn love Hamas! Death to Jews! Also, think about the kids!

   Police: They’ve all got water bottles! Officer down! We need backup!

   Joe Biden:[whimpering] I just wanted to do COVID, guys.

5. War criminal Netanyahu gives a shit about what anyone thinks.

6. It’s not very hard to be pro-jew and anti-Israel

8. Bibi belongs in The Hague

9. Here we have a person who has ordered the deaths of thousands of innocent people. It’s completely appropriate to criticize that.

10. There is no issue attacking the Israeli gov for their handling of the war, but to say Israel needs to not exist anymore… that is where you cross that line.
