The Invisibilty Cloak of Antisemitism

 

After listening to the news today, I just had to post this. I have added comments. 

Don’t look for any logic. 

 

RED CROSS

When accused of not pressuring Hamas for access to Israelis held hostage in Gaza (and of simply using its ambulances as an Uber service to transport hostages), a representative of the Red Cross on the BBC today had the audacity to blame their inaction on Israel. Why? Israel is conducting military operations in Gaza and it's a war zone. (hugh?)

 

UNITED NATIONS

• To ensure world peace and order, the United Nations should (in my opinion) be calling for an international coalition to eradicate the continuing aggression and torture by Hamas of the Palestinians and of Israeli civilians.
• Being a Hamas target, Israel has no choice but to do the job by itself.
• Instead of assisting Israel in its efforts (whether politically, militarily or organising proper protection and refuge for Gazan residents), the UN general secretary today sought to invoke s.99 of its charter, calling for members to bring about a ceasefire, effectively protecting Hamas and exacerbating the battles taking place. (hugh?)

UNIVERSITIES

• When questioned by the US Senate, the Chancellors of Ivy League Universities claimed that calls on campus for genocide against Jews do not constitute harassment. As they explained, the calls are only problematic if directed at specific individuals. (hugh?)
• Later apologies were poor smoke screens issued to cover the chancellors' *sses. It's worth watching the Senate discussion.
• Perhaps calls for the genocide of other minority groups (God forbid) might give them a sense of context.

AUSTRALIA POST

• Australia Post has just announced that it will cease deliveries to and from Israel, purportedly for logistic reasons, due to the war. 
• No similar steps have been taken vis a vis Ukraine or any other war zone. (hugh?)

TRAVEL ADVISORIES

The Israeli Foreign Ministry has issued a travel advisory against visiting Australia and other countries, due to anti-semitism. (Oh dear).
