Supporters of Israel rely on numerous questionable assumptions to justify their support for the genocide that has slaughtered 200,000 innocent Palestinians. They assert Israel has an inherent right to exist (no country does), acts solely in self-defense (obviously untrue), ought not to face limits on what it calls retaliation (absurd), commits no war crimes (the ICJ disagrees), and that anti-Zionism is the same as anti-Semitism (there are many anti-Zionist Jews). As the gruesome war against Gaza continues, these once persuasive claims appear increasingly fragile, collapsing like a house of cards. A UN report accused Israel of war crimes in Gaza, citing 8,000 civilian deaths just since the conflict recently escalated after Israel broke the ceasefire. Protests in London recently drew 500,000 people condemning Israeli actions, showing that support for the Jewish state is declining amid growing global scrutiny and shifting public opinion on Israel. The blank check given to Israel in 1948 has been overdrawn.
