Israeli President Herzog calls the protests against his visit to Australia — antisemitism. In doing so, he forgets or deliberately ignores one important fact that cannot be erased — the genocide in Gaza. The Israeli army has killed over 100,000 Palestinians, most of them children. Children who are not guilty of anything. Their only ‘fault’ is that they are not Jewish. Jews no longer have the right to play the victim and call every criticism of their crimes antisemitism. Jews are not victims; Israel has committed a terrible genocide in Gaza. The only victims are Palestinians.
Israel must be held accountable for its atrocities, just as the Nazis were held accountable for their crimes before the international court of justice after the Second World War. Enough with playing the victim, because Israel is not a victim but a perpetrator of genocide.
