Macron and opposition to Zionism

jeudi 11 avril 2019 à 02:00

Macron wants to prosecute opposition to Zionism, and condemnation of Israel because of its discriminatory laws, as "anti-semitism". That is a falsehood.

Anti-semitism is a form of bigotry and hatred. I condemn it because I condemn bigotry and hatred, and perhaps a little more strongly seeing as I am part of the group that its hate is directed at.

However, questioning the legitimacy of Israel's laws and policies is not anti-semitism. Confusing the two is the lie that the supporters of Israel's discrimination and its occupation policies have been pushing for years.
