   Reminder, not mentioning Hamas when criticizing the Israeli government, or even just criticizing the Israeli government at all, is not Antisemitic.

   The IDF is committing genocide, period. Zionist Israel does not represent all Jewish people.

   If I talk about the genocide of Indigenous people on Turtle Island, does that mean that I'm racist against Whites and spouting hate speech against all people descended from European settler nations?

   No, so stop silencing voices to #freepalestine.

     Also, I should add that I don't think everybody quite understands just how far-reaching this xenophobia linking all Palestinian people to Hamas terrorism to justify their genocide, has gotten.

     In Canada, we just had a leftist Member of Parliament disbanded from her own party, for failing to mention the Hamas attack when criticizing the Israeli government for their bombardment of Palestine.

     We cannot justify "collective punishment" on Palestinian people because of Hamas. That's war crime. #gaza
