Those who vehemently oppose Israel paint themselves as human rights defenders, compassionate people who care about humanity and the rights of all to live their lives in dignity.
And from my experience, this is true in some cases. They are just ignorant about what is going on, either because they have been brainwashed to believe the other side’s narrative, or just refuse to dig deeper beyond the headlines and news photos that mislead.
However, I find that in a majority of cases, prejudice against Jews and outright antisemitism are at work, like my regular anti-Zionist-not-antisemite series illustrates. And if it was not at all abundantly clear already from their dehumanization of Jewish people, these haters really do not care about human rights at all.
In the latest example of this, anti-Zionist-not-antisemite Jordina Salabert aka Jil Love recently posted this about (the incredible) Nikki Haley.
It is one thing to oppose someone’s views, it is another to publicly express your wish they would be murdered in excruciating fashion. And while Salabert is not ordering anyone to do it, this must be very close to being incitement to murder. I mean, she is stating that in order for human rights and humanity to be preserved, “witches” like Nikki Haley would need to be burned at the stake.
Ah yes, the irony. People like this are as far away from the idea of human rights and humanity as you get.
