First, the British establishment chose to conflate "Israel" and "the Jews" – actually an antisemitic sleight of hand that makes all Jews responsible for Israeli crimes, even those Jews who reject the notion that Israel represents them.

First, the British establishment chose to conflate "Israel" and "the Jews" – actually an antisemitic sleight of hand that makes all Jews responsible for Israeli crimes, even those Jews who reject the notion that Israel represents them.
Now, the establishment wants to conflate "the IDF", Israel's army slaughtering children in Gaza, with "the Jews" – an even more antisemitic sleight of hand that makes all Jews responsible for the genocide currently being committed by Israeli soldiers.
There is a converse process.
First, those people, including Jews, who rejected Israel as a colonial, apartheid state – one oppressing and ethnically cleansing Palestinians – found themselves smeared as "antisemites".
Now, those people, including Jews, who struggle against western collusion in Israel's genocide in Gaza, like members of Palestine Action, find themselves smeared as "terrorists".
All of this verbal deceit is designed with one end in mind: to unmoor us from reality, leaving us confused, passive and ripe for manipulation by a western establishment feeding us lines from their script.
Don't fall for their ruse.
It looks like a genocide because it is a genocide.
And Israel looks like a violent, settler-colonial state precisely because it is a violent settler-colonial state.
