A phalanx of the UK's most influential journalists brought this odious article to print, decrying as a 'blood libel' the reporting of Israel's killing of thousands of children in Gaza
For fuckssake have these arseholes ever read the stories about blood libel? They are not even relevant to what is happening in Gaza. If they wanted to talk about blood libel, they should be looking at pizzagate type stories, but just substitute Jews for Hilary Clinton.
Bombing children, burying them under rubble, starving them, and burning them alive using weapons that provide adequate distance from the victims is not even closely related to blood libel.
And FWIW, the tales of blood libel that neo nazis would occasionally dish up to demonise Jews used to get me angry because i knew how they had been used for centuries to justify horrendous crimes against innocent people. Gaza changed that. It has completely desensitised me to the imagined sufferings of people who feel hurt because some people are opposed to a genocide happening before our eyes.
Jacobson is typical of many zionist Jews of his generation. I read his columns for many years in the Independent. Funny, insightful and deeply rooted in common sense. Then men Israel :flick switch, full on zionist zealot.
This is truly odious and depraved, even by his standards. And one can only wonder what is going on in the mind of a well educated, cultured, esteemed writer to produce such mendacious bile. A degree of tribal affinity that denies humanity to any outside the sainted circle :the Arsbs, the Goyim. . As to how this garbage was ever allowed to see the light of day? Well, that's easy. Firstly, the Guardian is totally in thrall to the UK security state. Secondly, like the limp wridted liberals who subscribe to the news outlet, the journalists are so drenched in gentile guilt about padt atrocities suffered by Jews that they wil publish anything, however deranged rather than be tainted as anti semitic
Indeed, it is genocide apologism. +1 about Isaac Chotiner's interview with Jacobson in The New Yorker. Chotiner presses Jacobson on basic facts, as any responsible journalist should, and Jacobson crumbles into complete incoherence in response. It is incredible. It demonstrates the incoherence, even schizophrenia, of the so-called "liberal Zionist" position when faced with evidence of human rights atrocities, war crimes, other violations of international law, and genocide.
Jacobson has been schilling for zionist apartheid for decades now, a highly intelligent man a respected writer, all sense of morality disappears when the subject of the zionist colony comes up. However, this latest intervention would seem to represent a new low-a moral nadir. Well done, Jonathan Cooke for calling out such egregious conduct.
They are not liberal, in a sense that they have nothing to do with liberty, they are Zionist-owned and paid promoters of a supremacist racist genocidal movement clothed with a fig leaf of forged victimhood.
Great work as always Jonathan. Zionists have done nothing but blood libel the Palestinians , Arabs & the wider Islamic world since 1948 the accuse others what they are guilty of.
I think a lot of this boils down to what might be termed 'decadence'. These journalists live comfy, cosy middle-class lives where they enjoy going to one another's dinner parties, where they pontificate about the state of the World in between complementing the host's choice of wine, and asking who their local charcutier is. They don't live on sink estates, they don't have to worry that the DWP will stop their benefits, they don't have to worry about choosing between buying a meal and heating their homes, and they probably don't have to rely on a crumbling NHS. So they're quite happy to smear Jeremy Corbyn and thus help to rob the UK of a government that would protect the vulnerable, and they're unfazed about the idea of a small child under a pile of rubble, waiting in vain to be rescued.
It is difficult to be self-critical when you have become, like Netanyahu, Gallant, Smotrich, and the other boys and girls in the band, that which you most fear.
'You don’t understand man, Hamas uses human shields. Really really advanced human shields, the kind where there aren’t even any Hamas members anywhere near them. It’s just 100% human shield with 0% combatant, the most secure kind of shield there is'

Oct 7 changed history. Know that. KISS.
BS holocaust guilt.
What is a blood libel in this case? I thought the blood libel was when the Jews accepted the guilt and responsibility for the murder of Jesus Christ.
Yet, it is the economic and sexual abuses that fuel the hatred.
Indeed, it is genocide apologism. +1 about Isaac Chotiner's interview with Jacobson in The New Yorker.

Have you read the interview with Jacobson in the New Yorker! It's something else!
I managed to get round the paywall by saving the article then opening the saved file in my browser.

BS--- Arab refusal has been the problem since Day 1 in that garbage dump then. The Jews made it all happen for the benefit of all willing to be nice.
There are 2 million Arab Israelis so shut up.

Not only the journalists, but the public who believe it are vile. Apocalyptically vile.
I feel sick!
