Hamas attacks Israel
- Thread starter Serryah

The first 200 were intentional but the last 5 were a mistake? OOOOOOOKAAAAAY.
I’m just throwing out a theory. Does it pass the smell test? Don’t know yet, but a whole lot of shit happens due to incompetence in and out of war zones. When was the last time Canadiens were in an active Warzone and Americans didn’t shoot them or bombed them or what have you? It happens. Where this one lays, only time will tell.

Actually, from the outside looking in, it sure seems like you’ve got that exactly backwards, in a “no Jews no News” sorta thing.
…rebranded in the language of civil rights and anti-racism. It uses “progressive morality” to silence dissent, intimidate Israel’s defenders, and shield Palestinians and their allies from criticism, even when they glorify Hamas or excuse antisemitism.

Framed as a new category of discrimination against Palestinians, their narratives, and their advocates, APR has been aggressively promoted since 2022 (
), first in Canada and now across North America and Europe. Far from protecting human rights, APR is the latest weapon designed to delegitimize Israel and stigmatize its supporters.

Its proponents claim it targets discrimination that “silences, excludes, erases, stereotypes, defames, or dehumanizes Palestinians and their narratives.” In practice, however, APR functions as a tool of political censorship, punishing dissent and suppressing debate.

Unlike the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, which has been endorsed by more than 40 nations, the US State Department, and hundreds of universities, APR is not meant to clarify the boundary between legitimate debate and bigotry. The IHRA definition affirms that criticism of Israel is legitimate, but it draws a red line at demonization, double standards, and the denial of Israel’s right to exist. APR does the opposite: It turns nearly any defense of Israel into “racism.”

Call for Gaza’s demilitarization? Racist. Affirm Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state? Racist. Say no genocide is occurring in Gaza or that there was never a state of Palestine? Racist. Cite Palestinian rejectionism, terrorism, or antisemitism? Racist. Wave an Israeli flag or affirm Jewish indigeneity in the Levant? Racist. Under APR, virtually every expression of support for Israel becomes a racist act. This seems so very familiar.
This inversion is not new. In 1975, the United Nations declared Zionism to be racism. In the 2000s, the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) movement swept across campuses, branding Israel an apartheid state. APR now borrows the language of critical race theory and social-justice activism to recast Zionism itself as structural oppression and racism.
What makes APR especially dangerous is its claim to moral authority. Classical anti-Zionism was political. APR disguises itself as a universal fight against racism, indicting anyone who challenges Palestinian narratives as irredeemably racist. It flips the IHRA playbook on its head, shifting victimhood from Jews under attack to Palestinians portrayed as the sole victims of “racism.”

The timing is revealing. Since Hamas’s October 7 massacre, Jews have been attacked on campuses, in public squares, and on city streets. Yet APR reframes Palestinians as the only victims of racism while treating Jews as oppressors. Proponents dismiss the surge in antisemitism with a shrug, suggesting that “Zionists had it coming.”…& that too seems so very familiar the last year or more too…
The trend is spreading quickly. At York University, APR is formally defined as a “distinct form of racism.” At Stanford and Berkeley, faculty resolutions and student events have labeled opposition to Hamas as “racist.”

In city councils from Toronto to Seattle, anti-racism resolutions now include APR while excluding antisemitism. NGOs like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations echo this narrative, accusing Israel of “genocide” while cloaking anti-Zionism in the mantle of human rights.
APR also exploits Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion frameworks. While DEI initiatives were meant to address historic injustices, many have been co-opted to portray Zionism as colonialist or privileged. In such environments, defending Jewish identity or Israel’s legitimacy is not a viewpoint but a bias to be corrected.
(If left unchallenged, APR will reshape public discourse, empower hostile NGOs, and normalize antisemitism in schools, governments, and even corporations. Policymakers must act now. Congress, state legislatures, and school boards should ensure anti-racism curricula are not hijacked to advance anti-Israel ideology. Universities should adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism and resist attempts to elevate APR. Civil society must demand equal standards, where Palestinians are held accountable for terror and incitement just as Israelis are for policy decisions)

Why aren't Canadian journalists in Gaza?
Am I? Or you think I am?
Why aren’t there? Are there British or American or Australian journalists in Gaza?
