Why Israel’s Violence Gets So Much Notice (It’s Not Antisemitism)

Israel ignores it’s own past actions in this continuing war and calls the world’s attention to it as Antisemitism. Israel has a history of breaking truce agreements and starting wars on a presumption or an excuse as they did in 1967.

This question held more power during Israel’s past attacks on Gaza — e.g., Operation Cast Lead from 2008-2009, Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012, and Operation Protective Edge in 2014, when Palestinian casualties measured in the thousands rather than the tens of thousands. The current war, Operation Swords of Iron, is in fact one of the grimmest things currently happening on Earth.
