Gaza

The situation surrounding the Gaza War is presenting a dilemma to certain groups. The charge of antisemitism is thrown at some who criticize Israel's intervention in Gaza and many are upset by this. They say just because we are critical of the actions of the Israeli government does not mean we are antisemitic. This happens regularly when a person criticizes migrants crossing the border illegally are called xenophobes. It happens when a person points out the high murder rate of Blacks killing Blacks and they are called racist. It happens when a person criticizes teaching about sexual matters to elementary students and they are called homophobic. It happens when a person criticizes sex changes to children and they are called transphobic. This is a tactic used by some to silence opinions. It is often used when a good counter argument cannot be made and so they end the conversation by name calling.
