The lies about Israel. 'Genocide', 'ethnic cleansing' 'Apartheid'. Wherever you look someone is obsessing about Israel just as surely as they're lying about it.
A thread with simple facts. We start with the fact more Jewish refugees than Arab ones were created by the conflict:

And who is a refugee anyway? If the @UN had not created @UNRWA but had dealt with Arab refugees just as @Refugees deal with all refugees - do you know how many 'Palestinian refugees' there would be today? ZERO. That's right - none. UNRWA deliberately perpetuated the conflict.

They talk about how brutal Israel is. More Palestinians have been killed by other Arabs or through inter-factional fighting - than the Israelis have killed in over seventy years of conflict. Yes - you read that right.

They talk about the 'Nakba' as the crime of the century - but even if we accept their false narrative (which *IS* false) - the events of 48 look insignificant alongside other larger, far more deadly population exchanges. In comparative numbers - the Palestinians barely register

And the obsession with Israel - this tiny, regional, low-intensity spat - as millions are butchered across the world. They lie about Israel committing atrocities - just as they ignore all the real atrocities taking place.

Which makes all the talk about Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing absurd. On every indicator Arab populations (not under Hamas control) are thriving. What makes it more morally repugnant is that Jews know what ethnic cleansing and Genocide really look like.

In reality there are no discriminatory laws in Israel - but in Lebanon - that's real Apartheid. Palestinians face numerous restrictions on their freedoms. I compare the obessions of universities to discuss an Apartheid that doesn't exist - whilst ignoring one that does.

There are 29 nations in the ME and North Africa. Amost all of them discriminate or persecute ethnic minorities, ethno-religious groups or sexual minorities. Almost all - ONLY ONE protects all those freedoms - Israel

And yet along with other 'haters' @UN obsesses over the only democratic nation in the region. Whatever the reason - the UN deploys its bodies such as @unhrcpr as attack dogs against Israel. As millions die in brutal conflicts -the UN does little but focus on the Jewish state

If you are defending an Israeli action - you've let the 'haters' dictate the terms of the discussion. The antisemitism isn't what we see through the micrsocsope - it is the micrscope - the facts speak for themselves. See more and support david-collier.com/israel-conflic…
