“We must support the establishment of a single, democratic secular state in all of historic Palestine, with equal rights for Christians, Muslims, and Jews,” he wrote, adding: “and, therefore, the dismantling of the deeply racist, settler-colonial project and an end to apartheid across the land.”

What a controversial statement, that a government should represent the people that it governs. Crazy

By contrast, Anne Bayefsky, who directs Touro College’s Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust in New York, accused Mokhiber on social media of “overt antisemitism”. She said he had used a UN letterhead to call for “wiping Israel off the map”.

I see the if you’re not with us you’re against us rhetoric is coming out. They’re deliberately using language that makes it sound like someone wants to remove the Jewish people, when really they’re talking about the government needs to change. Wanting to change a government is not anti-Semitic by any extent, deliberately calling people anti-Semitic by trying to improve the living conditions, and the ability of a government to govern, isn’t helping anybody. It’s hurting people it’s disingenuous

If removing Hamas, and changing the government of Gaza, isn’t anti-Muslim, then people wishing to change the government of Israel should be measured by the same yardstick.
