Watson shared an image to her Instagram account on Sunday depicting a crowd of pro-Palestinian protesters and the text âSolidarity is a verb.â Her non-specific call to action also included a poem by activist Sara Ahmed describing âsolidarityâ as âthe recognition that even if we do not have the same feelings, or the same lives, or the same bodies, we do live on common ground.âÂ

The post quickly drew the ire of Israelâs diplomats, with current UN ambassador Gilad Erdan musing about using magic to âeliminate the evilsâ of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, and former UN ambassador Danny Danon tweeting â10 points from Gryffindor for being an antisemite.â
Danonâs tweet was met with furious backlash from all sides of the conflict. Israeli writer Abraham Gutman described the former envoyâs argument as âdehumanizing to Palestinians *and* a mockery to actual antisemitism.âÂ
âI remember back when Israel’s apologists made an effort to justify their smears,â Al Jazeera analyst Omar Baddar tweeted. âNow they don’t bother ⌠It’s hard to know whether to laugh or cry!â
âEquating support for Palestinians to antisemitism presumes that repression of the Palestinian people is an inherently Jewish quality, which is the real antisemitic sentiment here,â another commenter wrote.
Meanwhile in Israel, Defense Minister Benny Gantz hosted Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in his home last week, the first time Abbas has met a senior Israeli official inside Israel in over a decade. Though the meeting was criticized by the right-wing opposition and hardliners within Israelâs coalition government, Gantz said he would sit down with the Palestinian leader again, arguing that those responsible for sending soldiers into war must âdo everything to prevent it.â
As Gantz and Abbas met, however, Israeli tanks shelled Hamas outposts near Gaza City, in retaliation for the wounding of an Israeli civilian near the border fence between Israel and Gaza, near the Israeli city of Ashkelon.
