    This was scrawled on the home of a Palestinian family. Am I anti-Semitic for thinking that this is racist ethic cleansing?

    Sorry if I'm rather ignorant. Where was the Palestinian family? Are we talking in Palestine or somewhere else in the world?

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

    "Kill or expel" sounds like a twisted game show.

    Bad state of affairs, and this stuff is reflective of the non-apartheid reality for Palestinians IMO. the Israeli right doesn't want to economically subordinate Palestinians, and it doesn't want to coexist beside them as 2nd-class citizens - they want them out, they want them gone. They must be watching Aung San Suu Kyi closely right now. Am I wrong?

    Nevertheless, the existence of anti-Semitism is not detracted from by the existence of other prejudices, hatreds, or rivalries. Don't make it a competition.

    It's in the West Bank, parts of which are under threat of annexation should Netanyahu/Likud squeeze through in the upcoming third Israeli election within the space of a year.

    The source for the OP content doesn't look very solid, but upon investigation it could fit into a general pattern of West Bank settler violence and rhetoric, so I would take it at face value.


    In unrelated news, I just learned:

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...manuel-macron/

    France is to recognise anti-Zionism, the denial of the state of Israel, as a form of anti-Semitism in response to a surge in acts against Jews not seen “since the Second World War”.
    Without looking further into the exact specification applied, I can see how this move could be dangerous.

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a9248801.html

    Boris Johnson will attempt to pass a law banning local councils from joining the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel, the UK’s special envoy for post-Holocaust issues has announced.
    On one hand, BDS are some useless cocks. On the other, if Nazis can Nazi then BDS shouldn't be blocked. Unfortunately, here in the US BDS bans are fairly prevalent and bipartisan.

    I agree with boris. Foreign policy is not a function of LA's.

    Is all local activity colorable as foreign policy banned already then? Or will it be banned as well now? Are sister/twin cities banned?

    Serious questions.

    there is a meaningful difference between exchanging svhool trips and economic sanctions.

    I'd need a translation. Graffiti for sure. Hate speech likely given modern thoughts on certain symbols. But I cannot read it all.

    By the way, I prefer my ethics to be dry-cleaned.
