The bloody lies that antisemitism uses to feed Hamas terrorists

During the Middle Ages it was very common to spread hoaxes against the Jews that served to unleash pogroms against them.

The true origin of the distorted name of Palestine: a story ignored by many people
The State of Israel and the paradoxes of the extreme left and the extreme right

These hoaxes are known today as blood libels. One of the most common was accusing Jews of murdering Christian children to perform dark rituals with them. Many Jews were murdered because of these hoaxes, purely criminal lies that are repeated today against the only Jewish State: Israel.

For years, both the extreme left and the extreme right have been spreading antisemitic hoaxes to promote antisemitism and justify all kinds of crimes against Israel. The antisemitic extreme right is marginal in Europe, but the antisemitic far-left has parliamentary representation and is even part of the government of Spain, and is using its political position to spread those bloody lies that serve to justify the crimes of Hamas.

Today, the most common blood lies spread by antisemites are the following:

• Accusing Israel of committing "Apartheid." It is a way of trying to present Israel as a racist state equivalent to the South African Apartheid regime. The reality is that today 21.1% of Israel's population is Arab (mostly Muslim) and there are 5% non-Arab Christians and people with no known religion. Israel is a democratic country, and Jewish, Muslim, Christian, other minority or non-religious Israeli citizens have the same rights, have religious freedom and vote in the same elections for their representatives. There are no more Jews left in Gaza and the few Christians in Gaza suffer an exodus due to the pressure of the Islamic fanaticism of Hamas.
• Accusing Israel of committing "genocide" against the Palestinians. It is the crudest and most despicable of the antisemites' blood lies. From the moment of its founding, Israel has suffered several wars because the Arab countries wanted to throw the Jews into the sea. Despite this, and as I noted in the previous paragraph, there is a significant Muslim minority in Israel that enjoys full civil rights. The only ones who want to commit genocide in that region are Islamic extremists, including Hamas, who seek the extermination of the Jews of the Middle East.
• Equate Hamas terrorists with the Israel Defense Forces, or even present Israeli soldiers as the only terrorists in the region. This infamous lie is dismantled by observing that the actions of the Hamas terrorists are radically different from that of Israel. Hamas acts as a terrorist group, deliberately and indiscriminately murdering, kidnapping and raping civilians, massively attacking the Israeli population, launching rockets without warning, many of which fall on the Palestinian territories themselves. On the contrary, the Israel Defense Forces carry out selective attacks to eliminate terrorists and warn of their attacks to minimize the loss of civilian life in Gaza, even asking the civilian population of the strip to evacuate the area of the attacks, despite the fact that with these warnings Israel puts its military forces at risk.
• Accuse Israel of turning Gaza into a concentration camp and of holding the inhabitants of the strip hostage. The reality is that Hamas has ruled the strip since it won the Palestinian parliamentary elections in 2006. No new elections have been held since. Hamas has established a dictatorship in Gaza governed by Islamic law, imposing living conditions on the inhabitants of the strip that are typical of a totalitarian regime. Hamas is the one that has turned Gaza into a prison, using the inhabitants of Gaza as their hostages and as human shields, launching rockets from residential areas and preventing civilians from evacuating the attacked areas, while Israel, which is a democracy, dedicates much of its defense spending to protecting its population, a population that is free to move around Israel and leave the country whenever they wish.
• Accusing Israel of acting like the nazis. It is one of the most common manifestations of antisemitism, because this statement implies trivializing the Holocaust committed by the nazis, that is, the systematic extermination of six million Jews with the purpose of making that people disappear, comparing that genocide, the largest that has been committed in the entire history of humanity against a people, with the Israeli counterattack to defend itself from the Hamas terrorist attack. In fact, with this statement what the antisemites seek is the same as the nazis: they deny the Jewish people their right to defend themselves and they want that the Israelis let themselves be killed without doing anything.

What the antisemitic far-left and far-right do against Israel is like accusing the allies of "genocide" for bombing German cities, but saying nothing about the Nazi bombings against Warsaw, Antwerp, London and other cities , bombings that began before the allied bombings and seeking to indiscriminately murder the civilian population.

Motivated by their hatred against the Jewish people, the antisemitic far-left and far-right condemn Israel's counterattack but not the Hamas terrorist attack, an attitude that is as morally repulsive as condemning the Poles' defense against the German invasion of 1939, but not condemning the invaders.

What the antisemitic far-left and far-right are doing is trying to turn into victims those who have committed the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, while presenting the attacked country as the culprit, the country that has seen a group of murderers and rapists penetrating its borders, murdering unarmed civilians in their homes, massacring and burning children and babies, raping women and kidnapping adults and children to use them as shields and as currency . What the antisemitic far-left and far-right do is feed Hamas terrorism. They feed it with lies, lies that have been used for decades to murder Israeli citizens.
