Comment on Australia to review all 66 military export permits to Israel approved before Gaza conflict
NaevaTheRat@vegantheoryclub.org 2 months agoThat bit is sarcastic hyperbole. Often we’re seeing people and media orgs who are anything shy of sycophantic to the Israeli government get accused of antisemitism.
The guardian has been better than most but they’re still doing a lot of laundering of genocide and settler-colonialism in their coverage. I am frustrated by stuff like the passive voice diminising that literally every civilian dead and aid convey bombed is an activity policy choice. By jesting that to reduce it to mere reaction is to deny the Jewish people in government human qualities like agency and a moral compass.
Which I think there is a kernel of truth in.

Thanks, I didn’t catch the sarcasm, which was what had me confused.
