A lawmaker from the far-right Otzma Yehudit party told the Knesset on Wednesday that "there are no innocent civilians, no innocent children in Jenin."

MK Yitzhak Kroizer's comments came after a Palestinian family with two children was gunned down by Israeli forces in the West Bank earlier this month.

This is the exact same type of person who would say that Jews are being persecuted and dehumanized around the world simply for being Jewish. This is the type of person who will give a speech about how the Nazis would gun down Jewish children in the street and cry tears of sorrow for how his people were treated.

EDIT: In case it isn't clear, both of those things did happen. I was just pointing out the lack of awareness.

The irony is what he's saying is antisemitic (palestinians are semitic)

Jews were heavily oppressed in the past but they no longer are. Jews are currently one of the most privileged demographics in the world. An amazing article about this: Jews Are NOT Oppressed: The Myth of Systemic Antisemitism

This isn't really about Palestinians living through hell, for you, eh?

At the heart of every argument within the spectrum of Zionism lies the uncritically accepted belief that Jews are an eternally oppressed people and that antisemitism is a constant, rampant threat. The charge of antisemitism often functions as a thought-terminating cliché, deployed not only by staunch Zionists but even by well-meaning individuals who identify as pro-Palestine. Yet few pause to critically examine this assumption. What is the actual reality of Jewish oppression today, and how does contemporary antisemitism compare to the narrative so widely accepted?

This article critically debunks several widely held assumptions in Western discourse through a materialist lens: the notion that Jews are systemically oppressed, that antisemitism represents a unique form of bigotry, the alleged uniqueness of the Holocaust in human history, and assertions that Zionism lacks broad support among Jewish communities. By analyzing demographic patterns, socioeconomic data and historical comparisons, these narratives collapse under evidentiary scrutiny, revealing how the perpetual “antisemitism crisis” discourse primarily serves to shield Israel from criticism while justifying its policies of occupation and apartheid. The material conditions of global Jewish communities demonstrate privilege rather than persecution, even as this myth of universal, eternal victimhood gets weaponized to suppress Palestinian solidarity movements worldwide.

Yeah, I've had my life threatened and almost taken in public in a progressive American city.. as one example over the decades of experiences.

But you're really focused on the Palestinian suffering part of all this obvi
