As you initiated this, I will do you the courtesy of responding to your assertion.  Yes, and yes.

Quote:And the trigger is not praise for the Israeli left and human rights organizations, but flagging Israeli violations of international law.

Incorrect on every count.  The trigger for this is your persistent, and consistent, criticism of Israel on every level.  Your denial of Israel's right to exist in any form since its reformation.  Your continued mitigation of the actions of Islamic extremists, including ISIS, Hamas and Al Qaeda.  You acknowledgement, via your posts, of the wrongdoings of Israel but barely a peep on the wrongdoings of Hamas and other Islamic fundamentalist extremists.  You even gleefully hijacked a thread about Israeli hostages with this type of tripe, responding "this thread is fine for me" when informed of your deliberate hijacking.  You cloak yourself in erudition and scholarly examination all the while espousing virulent dislike, if not hatred for one side and very little, if any condemnation for the other.  This thread on its own is proof.

You equate Hamas to elements of the Israeli government as equally bad actors.  You equate Hamas to the IDF, only in that case you claim the IDF is worse as they engage in more violent action more frequently.  I don't think most people would need more than one of those admissions, let alone the two you've provided.

"Equating" Hamas and the IDF is still just my recognizing Israel's history of violating international law, plus your ignoring the distinctions I've made between them (i.e., Hamas doesn't have a progressive wing, engaged in human rights critique of its own government.)

The only alternative in this false either/or?--silence about IDF war crimes. Enforced as best you can by malicious personal attack. 
This thread is its own proof, as is your too blatant policing of the German hostage thread.

You've been asked in the past to prove all the other accusations--and demurred. You can't deflect that fail by calling me the lying deflector. 
And now I "mitigate" Al Qaeda too. Somewhere, everywhere, but not in any post you can quote. 

So when I acknowledge that the IDF has committed more war crimes killing more people, you treat that as an "admission,"  i.e., a thought crime 
rather a factual statement open to refutation, if such is possible. For if NO RECOGNITION OF IDF WAR CRIMES is the law then it's only the "admission" that counts. Big Brother has his confession and the facts may disappear down the memory hole.

Now on to your final blockbuster "proof" of my antisemitism--I don't criticize Hamas (and now Al Qaeda too) as much as Israel. 

WHY NOT??? DRUMROLLLLLLLL--because so far no one has defended Hamas, or denied it has committed war crimes. Whereas we do have a partisan for the IDF, actively and constantly misrepresenting the roots and nature of the conflict, embracing ethnic distinction to privilege the occupier's "right" to occupy over the human rights of those subjected to military occupation, on thread after thread.
