An Israeli minister called #Farha antisemitic. That’s a lie. It’s a disgrace. It’s also racist. 1. Not only Palestinian oral history establishes that atrocities occurred, Israeli historians & researchers also report massacres Israelis committed against Palestinian civilians
2. Saying that the provable horrors of the ethnic cleansing that defined the Nakba is antisemitism degrades the term by using it as a cudgel to silence legitimate criticism of Israeli policy, past & present. Antisemitism is real & abusing it in this way cheapens its real meaning

3. For Israelis to refuse the acknowledge the real suffering endured by innocent Palestinians who were terrorized into fleeing from their homes is racist since it denies their humanity & silences their cries for recognition & Justice. #Farha tells their story & should be praised.
