Seriously? You're STILL going with the canard that anybody who questions the Gaza war and the absurdly stupid idea of staging a massacre in Rafah- a group which includes the 55% of Israelis who now support a permanent ceasefire, according to the latest poll- is supporting hatred of Jews?

How far are you going to go with this?

How many more good, decent innocent people are you going to falsely and unjustly accuse of antisemitism over this issue?

Is it truly inconceivable to you that most of the world- and now most Israelis- simply disagrees with you about this war on the merits of the issue?

How much further do you think you can take the politics of verbal abuse?

The vast majority of the world doesn't hate Jews.

People who oppose this war don't hate Jews.

It's just that it's a war that has no chance of achieving anything positive or worthwhile- if it does destroy Hamas, it can only cause its replacement by something worse- and nearly all the people it has killed so far and will kill if a Rafah massacre occurs are and will be innocent, unarmed citizens, many of them children.

A child cannot be a terrorist.

Grow up.

Stop doubling down for the SAKE of doubling down.
