    Oh yes because they’ve done nothing to deserve the hate, totally innocent bunch of people.

    Imagine how hard it must be for anti-Semitism advocacy groups right now, the amount of mental gymnastics they have to perform in order to continue to be the victim must leave them utterly exhausted. I imagine they can only manage one whiny tweet and then they have to take a week off.

      Let’s be clear,anti-semitism is wrong, and what’s been going on isn’t helping matters for israel unaffiliated jewish support groups that are actually doing positive work.

        Yeah, these days when I read anything about antisemitic crime I always have to check if it’a actually people being racist or if someone just said israel bad. And of course israel doing their genocide is also driving up actual antisemitic crimes, because plenty of people think that israel=all jews, and understandably people are angry so they look for a “deserving” target. Which israel is also not helping with since their constant cries of antisemitism are implying exactly that.

        And in reality it’s not even all israelis (not like most people living there these days chose it), and while far too many seem to support the genocide, they’re also under heavy propaganda.

          Not all Israelis, sure, but settlers definitely. Nobody’s forcing them to attack Palestinians and destroy their property.

        Oh absolutely, but the problem is that when those advocacy groups call everyone anti-semitic for calling out war crimes, they lose all credibility.

        This only works if the reason they hate you is because you’re Jewish. We hate them because they’re murdering bumblefucks. Not antisemitic at all.

        I’m part Cherokee, I should hate the white man. Not because they’re white, but because of the trail of tears and nearly eradicating Indians.

        It’s not racism in the slightest.

      I just love how “anti-Semitism” has become “Israel can do whatever the fuck they want and never face any criticism or consequences because Jews were persecuted in the Holocaust.” This now includes Israel committing its own Holocaust on Palestinians.
