Accusing Israel of weaponizing the Holocaust to perpetrate "genocide" against the Palestinians is thinly veiled antisemitism.

Leftist propaganda drivel.

Really? You're going to reference Wikipedia (which has been taken over by anti-Zionist activists) and Al Jazeera? Come on. Maybe learn some actual history before you start spewing your opinions on a 100-year old conflict.

Fascinating episode from Einat Wilf's podcast in reference to an article she co-wrote with two Arabs who support peaceful coexistence with Israel shortly after the Abraham Accords were signed. The most interesting part of the discussion comes up at around 10:15 where she talks about the silencing of voices like these by Western progressives. The tl/dr: Pro-peace Arab voices are silenced by Western progressives because that perspective conflicts with their decolonization anti-Zionist narrative, so these voices hurt the cause.
