Gary Lineker: once again he is a target; once again it is for supporting a well-argued position.

The Israel apologists really don’t like being made to face the facts.

Today (November 22) they are attacking Gary Lineker for sharing a YouTube video by Owen Jones, discussing an Israeli academic’s assessment of that country’s onslaught against Gaza as a “textbook genocide”:

I pointed out that this was a genocide, weeks ago, and the points made by Professor Segal are those that I made. His illustrations are persuasive, although you may need to see the whole video to realise that:

Jones notes at the end that Israel’s supporters were likely to pile in and attack – and he’s right. He may not have realised that he would not be the main target.

Instead, it was Mr Lineker – and the principle form of the attack seemed to be against his intelligence:

They also attacked him as a person:

I’m sure there are many other attackers on the social media.

All I can suggest is that these people receive the kind of treatment they would like us to give Mr Lineker.

That is, they should be blocked on the social media and ignored if they turn up anywhere else.
