"Antisemitic". That's how @yuval_abraham’s speech at the @berlinale was labeled by Israeli media and even German politicians. The reason: he sees the apartheid reality in the WB for what it is. This is the latest example of weaponizing antisemitism as a tool to silence critics 🧵
No opposition to Israel's policies in the oPt is truly deemed legitimate. If it’s Palestinian diplomatic actions, they're labeled diplomatic terrorism. If you're a human rights Pal defender who believes in non-violence like @Issaamro or @basel_adra, you’ll be constantly harassed
Even the Israeli government’s push for the IHRA definition was meant as a tool to silence HR and civil society NGOs. Less than a year ago MK Ariel Kallner launched a Knesset caucus to "fight antisemitism and delegitimization", and labeled anti-occupation orgs like us antisemitic.
