Woman Expressing Upset At Civilians Being Killed In Bombing Had No Idea She Was So Anti-Semitic
Woman Expressing Upset At Civilians Being Killed In Bombing Had No Idea She Was So Anti-Semitic Share:ONE LOCAL woman has learned that her grasp of the English language is not as commanding as she once thought, after opinion columnists, talking heads and Israeli government officials confirmed that expressing empathy for civilians being killed by bombs is anti-Semitic. Double checking the definition in a dictionary, a relieved Garlan confirmed anti-Semitism means ‘hostility to or prejudice against Jewish people’. Further research online carried out by Garlan shocked the woman as it turned out the following things were also found to be anti-Semitic:– Acknowledging Palestinians are human beings. – Pointing out Israel’s minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir used to have a portrait of Baruch Goldstein, perpetrator of a massacre which killed 29 Palestinians and wounded 125, in his office. – Mentioning the Israeli government had previously denied but admitted giving female Ethiopian Jewish immigrants birth-control injections, often without their knowledge or consent.
