“It is time to consider suspending the credentials of Israel as a member state of the UN,” she said. “I understand the sensitivity because none of you have clean hands when it comes to human rights.”

She said no other country had defied so many UN resolutions for so long.

Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US ambassador to the UN, described her in a tweet as unfit for office, adding: “The United Nations should not tolerate antisemitism from a UN-affiliated official hired to promote human rights.”

I'm so fucking tired of this conflation of condemnation of the Israeli government with bigotry against the Jewish people.

Im tired of attempting to differentiate Israel from Judaism and Jewish People leading to immediate accusations of antisemitism for doing so.

Israel clearly doesn't care that they're actively destroying the global image of Judaism and Jewish People by actively pushing back against that differentiation in media.

Israel loves it.

The more harm international Jewish people are in, the more they can import colonizers and pretend the world is against them to justify their evil.
