That sounds like a policing problem?

I'm anaspeptic, frasmotic, even compunctious to have caused you such pericombobulation.

  • bombing civilian infrastructure which is likely to have families, children, non combatants inside is a war crime.
  • collective punishment is a war crime.
  • forcible relocation is a war crime.
  • ordering civilians to a new area and then bombing them en route or on arrival is intentional targeting of civilians, and therefore a war crime.
  • blockading a population within an area which you are actively shelling is a war crime.
  • depriving a population of non combatants of food and water and fuel is a war crime.
  • bombing a convoy of ambulances is a war crime.
  • bombing a refugee camp is a war crime.
  • killing reporters is a war crime.
  • use of white phosphorus on civilian targets is a war crime.

Israel has done all of these things. There is no excuse for war crimes. It doesn't matter how evil the enemy is, you are not allowed to do these things and not be a war criminal.

Ok let's start with this one:

"Israel has built illegal settlements in Palestine every day since signing the Oslo accords"

Go ahead. Prove that wrong.

It is accurate, and I can back it up with data. Is there anything in particular you think is incorrect? Or are you just annoyed with it in general.

Would you prevaricate thusly when speaking about, say, the third Reich? Or would you "delegitimise" that entire state? Maybe you should think twice before publicly "demonising" the Nazis?

Sometimes a "whole state" bears criticism. Israel does, right now, because it is committing war crimes with western support.

The 3D test unfortunately proves nothing. It would be very useful if we could prove criticism of Israel was coming from an anti-semitic place, but you can't, because you can't read minds. It's one of the most insidious features of all racism: it's very easy to hide. At the moment, though, it is fair to assume that a majority of the criticism of Israel comes from common decency and human compassion, because the IDF are dropping tower blocks on children in their thousands in "self-defense". Anyone enabling those types of actions is the worst of humanity because of their actions and decisions, not because of which god they pray to.

Here's a criticism of Israel for you:
The rise in anti-semitism is primarily Israel's fault.

Very good point.

Gender identity is important in all contexts because it helps you to make someone feel comfortable. This is critical in providing medical care.

[-] crapwittyname@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

The terms AFAB and AMAB serve perfectly well for this medical purpose. Equally, an extra column for gender. Gender: M, Sex: F.
Not that tricky really. Doesn't need to go any further than that.

I think the best response to this is to just show them your next few meetings on your calendar, with an air of bemusement.
If they're talking about hidden motives then they need to prove you have one first.
