   Remember folks, it’s antisemitic to say that Israel is starving Palestinians in Gaza. The correct term you’re looking for is “compassionate calorific restriction.”

     @martinvermeer @aral Just to highlight for the casual passerby that the article is about the long-going blockade. The current siege is much worse, of course.

     @aral Friendly reminder that Israel and the United Snakes are the only states who don't think that access to food is a human right, and voted against such a UN resolution in 2021.

     @aral Muting so I never see your toots again. Antisemitism is hatred towards Jewish people, wherever they live. The Government of Israel is the Government of Israel, it’s a country. Jewish people everywhere are not making these decisions.

     @lisafast Yes, Lisa, exactly. And it’s the Israeli government that is using “antisemitism” as its shield from criticism to carry out collective punishment and commit genocide against the Palestinian people. The whole point of the post is that it is the Israeli government that is purposefully conflating antisemitism with criticism of itself.

     But you do you.
