    In a video recording of Bresheeth’s arrest, a police officer informs him that he is being arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000 for “making a hate speech”.

    And when I talk about Israel being a direct threat to Americans citizens, this is part of what I’m talking about.

    Yes, I know this happened in the UK and not the US, but the principle still applies.

        Whose parents survived the Holocaust.

        “Never forget.”

        At least there’s some people who properly understood that lesson from our dark history.

          “Funny” has a much broader connotation than what you’re suggesting. In this case it’s funny because the truth doesn’t align with what is expressed by his critics.

        It’s not funny. It’s dangerous. Dangerous for Jews like him and for Jews like me.

          Funny as in it’s a commentary on how so many people equate criticism of Israel to anti-Semitism, like how the person I replied to pointed out. I know it’s dangerous, I know Jews around the world are suffering the repercussions of Israel’s actions and a lot them are speaking up against it.

            I just hate it. Israel has made my life more dangerous than any modern Hitler-lover.

      Getting really old and also going to backfire spectacularly. Israel has pretty much completely lost support of younger Americans (can’t speak for UK). Once those younger generations age into politically power, we’re going to see a major shift.

        Nah, there is simply too much money involved. And sadly money influences absolutely everything from politics, moral decisions, war warfare, etc.

      Netanyahu has done a lot to help the world see this propaganda game for what it is. Not worth genocide, but it’s a slight silver lining. The “criticism is antisemitism” strategy won’t work forever for Israel.

      Also, I bet you’re a programmer.
