Our American cousins – oh dear.

They seem a little confused:

Here’s the issue:

Yes indeed: you don’t have to be Jewish to be a Zionist, meaning that opposition to Zionism simply cannot be anti-Semitism. To be anti-Semitism, it would have to be hatred of a Jewish person because they are a Jewish person. Keir Starmer isn’t Jewish. Rishi Sunak certainly isn’t.

So, what is all this really about?

Could it be about making sure the United States has an excuse to keep selling its bombs to Israel, even though it seems clear that the onslaught against Gaza is part of the Zionist project to steal all the land in the original country with that name?

Here in the UK, people have a much more “grass roots” attitude; if the government won’t end support for Israel, we’ll jam up the mechanisms creating the weaponry:

We have a natural sense of justice that tells us it is wrong for a country with overwhelming military might to use it to slaughter children in a neighbouring country:

Back in the States, the population is spoonfed falsehoods:

We have seen Israel’s indiscriminate bombing of Gaza; we have heard how Israel warned Gazans to move from one part of the Gaza Strip to another, claiming they will be safe there – and then bombed the part they moved into.

We have concluded that Israel deliberately murders civilians, including women and children.

We may conclude that this is in the service of Israel’s Zionist project.

We may reasonably deduce that Gazans are anti-Zionist because of this.

Yet the United States has legislated that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism.

Isn’t that victim-blaming to justify genocide?
