This actually a play on Michael Shrimpton’s article, which is entitled “Israel hammers Hamas,” and which is completely devoid of historical facts and deep analysis about what has been doing on in the Middle East for the better part of sixty years.
Back in 2014, Shrimpton and I had a long discussion about similar issues, both at VT and via email messages. For the life of me, I simply cannot understand why Shrimpton continues to avoid scholarly studies that have been written on these issues and move on to perpetuate the Israeli narratives, which, as my dear friend Mark Dankof put it in our article The Closing of the Zionist Mind, is based on:

He fell on his sword, resigning and moving to Philadelphia to head the American Jewish Committee’s regional office.

The April 20 program is responding to, in part, the ongoing debate over the definition of antisemitism that has been crafted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), and accepted by numerous governments and Jewish organizations around the world. Some left-wing academics, including Stern, object to the IHRA definition because it includes demonization of Israel as an example of antisemitism.
