Legitimate criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitism

[shira]

57. Where have you ever seen Israel's record on gay rights used to deflect criticism?

Because if that's the purpose of pinkwashing, it hasn't worked at all.

Agreed?

Do you believe that when Israel sends relief and aid to Haiti or Nepal, that it's trying to deflect criticism? It's called "rubble washing". If so, what's the proof they're trying to deflect - and then tell me how effective that's been.

Israel also helps Syrians and Gazans injured in war/battle. Why? To deflect criticism? Because if so, how's that working?

See, the thing is antisemites will take anything Israel does that's good and try to twist it into something nefarious & conspiratorial & you're falling right into that trap along with all the fascist, extreme Islamists & rightwingers & you either can't see that or don't care.

I want to see you at least acknowledge that - that Jew haters will take Israel's good deeds and try to warp them and that's what the stupid charge of pinkwashing is. BTW, the pinkwashing accusers claim Israel only has a good record on gay rights because they're faking their concern for gays. Same for rubble-washing or helping Syrians/Gazans. All fake. So your idea of pinkwashing isn't what the accusation really is. That accusation is far worse than what you think it is.

Now please acknowledge how stupid and hateful the pink-washing accusation is. Can you do it?
