Absolutely reckless. These kinds of comments do fuel the demonization of the IDF, Israelis, and Jewish communities—and contribute directly to the climate enabling antisemitic terror attacks. A war crime is a serious legal charge, not a throwaway term. It requires four

As we note the media's role in creating an environment in which continued demonization contributes to antisemitic terror attacks, consider this slanderous take by former State Dept spokesman Matthew Miller. He states a personal opinion as fact - that IDF soldiers are committing war crimes - while acknowledging that the US government (under @JoeBiden and @POTUS @realDonaldTrump) has not concluded the same. And he offers no evidence, case study or instance of this accusation. Sometimes even blood libels can come from inside the tent. By the way, in answering the question about whether "what's going on in Gaza is a genocide" with a heavy sigh and then "I don't think so, but...", it's pretty clear what you actually think. He also says it's an "open question" if Israel is "acting in a way that aids and abets war crimes". How about we make it a closed question @SpencerGuard @HausdorffMedia @Ostrov_A @jconricus @HilzFuld @EVKontorovich
