  1. All my adult life I spoke up against racism and nationalism. I am now a 75-year-old retired schoolteacher. Quite recently it was explained to me on the internet that my criticism of Israel and the [self-censored word] defines me in my declining years as a new-antisemite. All I can do is shake my head at the evil that is being done in the name of Israel having a right to defend [self-censored word] through the use of [self-censored word].

  2.  @marionanderson7059  As a bed-riden invalid my days of actions are over so I feel double useless these days as I watch the news on Al Jazeera but I do support your sentiment.

  11.  @commenterjoe9406  I am not an expert on international law or the laws of war. I also do not know whether my answer to you will remain uncensored but I can nevertheless try to answer you and I hope you get to see my reply. ... I believe the actions by Israel after Oct 7 is not protecting their Gaza Division or Israeli civilians on Oct 7. That was an historic event which had a beginning, a middle, and an end. We do not know all the details of that historic event as, for example, we do not know how many IDF tanks targeted homes in the kibbutzim, killing Israeli civilians, nor the number of targets among the vehicles with Israeli hostages on board attacked by IDF Apache helicopters resulting in Israeli civilian deaths. There was also a report of the Hannibal Directive being ordered by the IDF nor the number of Israeli victims of "friendly fire". An independent enquiry is needed. ... What happened since that date was, therefore, no longer actions by the IDF in protecting their citizens. This is not Israeli self defense but, as the Irish prime minister called "revenge" and the target is Palestinian civilians. You ask should the Israeli government stop protecting their citizens and the answer is No but let us hope they do a better job of making Israel the safest place for Jews in the world. This is doubtful. Also, as an occupying country, Israel has an obligation to protect the occupied Palestinian civilians in Gaza as well as the West Bank, according to international law.
