Brilliant take from Peter Beinart (npub1vwl…6y5l) on how pro-Israelis, who kept calling anyone that said Israel was withholding food in Gaza ‘antisemitic,’ immediately shifted their talking point when Israel officially & publicly withheld food to “of course Israel has to withhold food! What are you, crazy? You think they should be feeding their enemies?”
"[Their] standard is what Israel does is right and it should never be subject to any international or American pressure & that the terms in which you have to defend that change. That’s what I mean by a position of worship rather than a position of support, which I think is kind of de facto idolatry.”
