Since 10/7, progressive” Zionists have told me I was antisemitic when I: expressed sadness that Palestinian babies were dying; called for a ceasefire; wore a kufiya; and referred to the war on Gaza as a genocide as Amnesty International and the Lemkin Institute declared it one.

Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, and Medecins Sans Frontieres are all agreed. But the Gaza genocide is now just another routine news item, buried on the inside pages
