An anti-Israel Canadian group, "Independent Jewish Voices," published a series of memes to "prove" that "Israel is a racist endeavor," in an attempt to disprove the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism which uses that phrase as an example of antisemitism.
Their examples are ridiculous, but instead of arguing and putting ourselves on the defensive, I decided to use their own rules as to what "proves" that Zionism is racism to prove that Palestinian nationalism, or Palestinianism, has been suffused with antisemitism since it began.
I very quickly found 16 examples, and I'm sure I can find hundreds more. But these should make the point.
Feel free to tweet these and use them liberally.
To be clear, I am not saying that all supporters of Palestine are antisemites. I am using the rules that IJV came up with to show that by their own logic, Palestinian nationalism is antisemitism.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
