Eylon is doubling down in just inventing quotes from me. I quoted an Israeli general saying spreading disease is the way to victory in Gaza. His words. According to Eylon, that means ‘all Jews’. He sounds like a member of the KKK. Bent on blaming all Jews for Israel’s actions.

Wow, Mehdi is doubling down on the medieval antisemitic trope of Jews deliberately spreading diseases. I naively assumed he’d deny that’s what he was saying. Even the medieval peasants who accused Jews of spreading diseases didn’t say it was “the world’s Jews.”
