Oppositie tegen geweld Israel is geen antisemitisme

“Oppositie voeren tegen Israëlische geweld is geen antisemitisme”

Zweden die demonstreerden tegen de Israëlische aanvallen zijn geen antisemieten. Hun uitschelden is een poging om de kritiek op het Israëlische beleid tot zwijgen te brengen. Dit stelt de in Stockholm wonende Palestijn Alaa Kullab.

In een artikel deze week gepubliceerd in The Local, stelde de Israëlisch journalist David Stavrou dat veel Zweedse kritiek op de Israëlische acties in Gaza in antisemitisme veranderd waren. Bron / lees verder, The Local (Engels).

Canada neemt diplomatie voor Israel over, althans in Venezuela

Canada becomes Israel

The government publicly supported Israel's brutal assault on Gaza and voted alone at the UN Human Rights Committee in defense of Israel's actions three weeks ago. Now Canada has taken over Israeli diplomacy. Literally.

In solidarity with Gaza, Venezuela expelled Israel's ambassador at the start of the bombardment and then broke off all diplomatic relations two weeks later. Israel need not worry since Ottawa plans to help out. This means Canada is officially Israel, at least in Venezuela.
