Is Gaza an Humanitarian ‘Crisis?’

Now that we can all sit back and shake our heads because all of a sudden America has become a society in which anti-Semitism appears to have returned, I’m going to take the opportunity to remind my Jewish friends (I happen to be Jewish, btw) that maybe, just maybe they ought to consider what is really going on.

Because to me, I’m sorry to say that anti-Semitism doesn’t bother me all that much when it consists largely of a bunch of college students marching around on their campus chanting ‘Israel out of Gaza — now.’ And I note, by the way, that if you subtract the anti-Israel protests from the number of anti-Semitic incidents being counted by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), all of a sudden the rise in anti-Semitism isn’t all that great.

On the other hand, when a senior member of the NYU-Langone School of Medicine, Dr. Marc Siegel, is given space by USA-Today to write an op-ed about the recent anti-Semitic outburst in the United States and refers to the current situation in Gaza as a ‘humanitarian crisis,’ something contrary to such nonsense needs to be said.

I don’t know which Fake News media station first started referring to Israel’s decision to turn Gaza City into a mound of rubble as a ‘humanitarian crisis,’ but this happens to be a description of what is going on over there which is totally and completely full of shit.
