Mr Carter

For someone who rarely holds back in the comments he makes regarding Israel, you seem to be strangely sensitive on the matter of antisemitism.

'Interesting. Do you also not condone the libellous suggestions by your friend, the odious (now 'poisonous' 💀Hawkes !), that any of us who have opposed IDF actions in Gaza are not only Hamas supporters but antisemites?'

"Calm down dear, calm down".

I note you have not felt obliged to moderate the tone of your comments in the light of Ms Holliday's plea for 'civility and respect' to be shown in comments on this Forum.

Are you claiming that to describe someone as being antisemitic is libellous ?

You are being disingenuous to claim that any critical views I may have of your opinions of Israel and its actions in Gaza are based upon the fact that you 'have opposed IDF actions' in that region.

I base my view on the continual posts you have made calling out and condemning Israel's military actions which many see as legitimate responses to the genocidal pogrom carried out by Palestinians in October 2023; your repeated criticism of Netanyahu; the great efforts you go to point out some of the comments of the more extreme Israeli politicians that are not shared by the majority and your refusal to state your views as to whether Israel has the right to exist as a sovereign state on the territory it now governs.

I have no idea whether you support Hamas per se and of course you could not say so as that would be a criminal offence

But you do show unswerving support for the Palestinians, of whom 40% or so having been shown by survey, ironically but not unexpectedly, as being supporters of Hamas and what it did in October 2023.

On this basis it is not unreasonable to think that there is some underlying cause for the nature and content of your posts that is more than their being based on your geo-political view of the Middle East conflict.

If I am wrong I am willing to stand corrected.
