Antisemitism and colonialism both play a role in the Gaza conflict
I have received significant criticism for writing exclusively about the assault on Gaza since last October. While I am clearly concerned for the Palestinians who are being killed at an unprecedented rate, I am also deeply concerned about Israelis.
As an Arab, I’ve always seen Jews, Christians and Muslims as Children of Abraham, and I have always believed that we can live in peace once again, as we did before the British Mandate of the 20th century.
The Hamas attacks of Oct. 7 were horrendous, and those responsible need to be arrested and tried before the International Criminal Court. Rather than pursuing a judicial path, however, Israel began a military assault, which, according to U.S. President Joe Biden, has been “over the top.” The International Court of Justice has essentially called it genocidal.

I am dumbfounded by the naivete of those who do not recognize the consequences of the current actions of the State of Israel and its allies.........
