There are many issues with this shameful op-ed in the National Post from Avi Benlolo. First, in his discussion about “terrorism,” Benlolo makes no distinction between Palestinian violence against civilians, and Palestinian violence against legitimate military targets like Israeli soldiers. Second, in very racist fashion, Benlolo dehumanizes Palestinians by asserting they have a “death culture.” Finally, Benlolo ignores Israeli apartheid and occupation when he accuses Palestinians of antisemitism when they attack Israelis. Overall, Benlolo misleads his reader and ignores important context in this extreme anti-Palestinian racist rant.
