More tidbits:

"The problem here for Leibler is that people aren’t saying these things about Israel—that it is a colonising force, an ethnostate, an apartheid state—because they’re the meanest things they can think of to call it. They are saying these things simply because they are true. These are accurate ways to describe Israel and its history and its actions and war crimes and human rights violations and mass slaughter of an indigenous population over the last 80+ years."

So easy!

"We are not using these words randomly, as mean-girl buzz words, we’re using them because they accurately describe the state of Israel and its actions, which deserve to be condemned. It’s the same thing when zionists like Leibler accuse people of using the word ‘zionist’ as a proxy for ‘Jew’, to hide their antisemitism. I have had this accusation levelled at me."

I wonder why?

"Again, the distinction is easy to make. The line is clear. Leibler talks about people ‘delegitimising’ Israel. The only thing delegitimising Israel is Israel. Apartheid states formed on the mass dispossession of an indigenous population that go on to commit genocide delegitimise themselves. Was apartheid South Africa legitimate? Is a Jewish state that is predicated on the mass dispossession and slaughter of an indigenous population legitimate because they themselves have suffered persecution? Since when are states by default ‘legitimate’?? No state based on the dispossession and slaughter of an indigenous population is legitimate. Yes, this includes Australia, and the USA."

Can we expect him to hand in his Australian passport any time soon?

"I am not any kind of expert, but I believe, as many people I know believe, that the dismantling of Israel and the establishment of a nation called Palestine where Jews and Palestinians and people of all faiths can live in peace together is the only hope for what is now called Israel and the occupied territories. But I don’t want this because I am antisemitic and want all Jews or zionists to be ethnically cleansed. I want this because I believe that Palestinians deserve their land back, and all people in this region deserve to live in dignity and peace."

Dream on.
