Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

If people want to tie their religious identity to a nation state and call me antisemetic when I criticize that nation state -- the same as I criticize any other nation state -- they are in fact trivializing the experience of those who experience actual antisemitism.

I'm sure they don't see it that way, but it's hard for me to see such an attitude as anything other than disrespectful of one's own history.
