"Stephen Fry issued a heartfelt #Christmas message Monday, calling out the surge in #antisemitism in the #UnitedKingdom and encouraging the country’s #Jews to take pride in their heritage — and swiftly sparked a torrent of online trolling and backlash, with many accusing the actor and writer of playing the victim instead of shining light on the plight of #Palestinians in war-torn #Gaza."
Fry is figuring out he should have kept it a secret. Sorry bud. Welcome to the thunderdome.
@TonyStark@dukepaaron Besides, after the Brits liberated some former Nazi concentration camps, their disgraceful & telling months-long internment of Jewish former concentration-camp inmates at Bergen-Belsen (, where Anne Frank died) can hardly be interpreted as "protection" of Jewish victims of the Nazis.
Not all Brits are responsible of the maltreatment of former Jewish concentration camp inmates, just like not all Israelis & Jews can ever credibly be called responsible for whatever has been done to innocent Palestinians seeking peace & understanding with their Jewish Israeli neighbors.
Nor are all Palestinians responsible & accountable for atrocities committed against Jews & Israelis of any faith & ethnicity.
@thetechtutor The term "genocide" is too easily & inappropriately abused these days...
"By the UN definition, Hamas is a genocidal organisation. Its founding charter, published in 1988, explicitly commits it to obliterating Israel. Article 7 states that “The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them”. Article 13 rejects any compromise, or peace, until Israel is destroyed. Hamas fighters who burst into Israel on October 7th and killed more than 1,400 Israelis (and other nationalities) were carrying out the letter of their genocidal law.
Israel, by contrast, does not meet the test of genocide. There is little evidence that Israel, like Hamas, “intends” to destroy an ethnic group—the Palestinians."
