Is attacking the refugee camp still "self defence"

Oh, sure. Self-defense. And if you dare call it anything else, you're an anti-Semite, according to people who can't differentiate between criticizing the Israeli government and not liking Jewish people.

@LordShadowfire No one really makes that argument, though.

@LordShadowfire absolutely true

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@Bumbles everyone accuses those who criticise israel as being "anti semitic "

Bumbles · 51-55, M

@Guitarman123 I know you keep saying that but it’s also false.

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@Bumbles ive had it thrown my way and ive seen it on here and other socials

Bumbles · 51-55, M

@Guitarman123 Yes, well, calling for the elimination of Israel is not even criticizing Israel.

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@Bumbles thats a consequence of israel starting this conflict back in the 1940s

Bumbles · 51-55, M

@Guitarman123 And you claim you’re not anti-Semitic?

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@Bumbles arabs are semitic people

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@Bumbles you've just proved me right that anyone who criticises israel is accused of being antisemitic

Bumbles · 51-55, M

@Guitarman123 Refusing to acknowledge the common usage seems to be this trend. That’s a new form of anti-Semitism. Calling for the elimination of Israel is on its face anti-Semitism. The term apples to you.

Bumbles · 51-55, M

@Guitarman123 in this case, it sure is. You are an anti-Semite.

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@Bumbles being on the side of the oppressed semitic Arab and wanting to abolish zionism really isn't the same as hating jews

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@Bumbles arabs are semitic people. Arabs are Palestinians

Bumbles · 51-55, M

@Guitarman123 Calling for the elimination of Israel makes you anti-Semitic.

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@Bumbles makes me an anti zionist which is different

@Bumbles

Yes, well, calling for the elimination of Israel is not even criticizing Israel.

I don't even call for the elimination of Israel. But a number of people think that if I condemn Israel's recent war crimes, that must be what I want.

Bumbles · 51-55, M

@LordShadowfire I wouldn’t conclude that about you, and am reluctant to use the term.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@Bumbles I know, which is why I didn't specifically say that you are among them. But I have my detractors as a result of being outspoken in saying that the Israeli government has retaliated with war crimes for war crimes, which isn't okay.

Bumbles · 51-55, M

@LordShadowfire While I don’t agree with your position, I would not label you anti-Semitic for having it. I understand the argument. I can’t say the same for someone who would deny Israel’s existence.

Others should not call you it, either.

@Bumbles You are such a biased snowflake :) Coming from a semitic.
