Laura,

You say: “This is nothing like Israel’s approach of brutally murdering people to establish a greater Israel”. I can assure you that you can safely say ‘establish a racially pure Jewish state’. If you are not sure what I am talking about, get in touch (avigail at fullyhuman dot co dot uk). I am happy to send you a copy of my birth certificate. Israel’s definition of Jewishness is racial. Despite the fact that ‘race science’ has been abandoned for the fraud and nonsense that it is, Israel is allowed to continue its racially motivated genocide against the Palestinian people. Jewishness is not determined by adherence to Jewish religion but by ‘blood’. Apparently, I am Jewish and you are not, because our blood is different…

Israel screams antisemitism precisely because of this. By its own warped, criminally insane logic, if Jewishness is a race, and Israel is a state for Jews only (by its own Nation State Law, and intention), then Israel can plausibly argue that criticism of Israel is racism against Jews. It is a perfect trap. Just thought you can feel more confident about saying what really needs to be said. A big fan of your writings!

I reread the first paragraph of this post three times trying to figure out what I was missing. Then I saw it was authored by Laura and Normal Island News and it all made sense.
