    Again this on-purpose confusing of “antisemitism” with “criticising Israeli politics”. It would have been antisemitic if it was “Jews not welcome”. Putting both in one pot is the key tactic to make IDF war crimes or Israeli settlers driving out Palestinians in-criticisable.

      I have many Jewish friends and a respectful disdain for most all religions… I love learning the practices and beliefs of various mythologies that have been created and conjured by those trying to hold and justify power over their people, especially the stories in their religious texts identifying ways to be good human beings in an unfair world.

      Jews are pretty cool, and I love how knowledge and education are generally highly valued.

      Fuck the Israeli government.

          So if you’re a Palestinian Israeli, who in no way supports the government or voted for it, you get to be discriminated against?

        Was it fair to bomb Germans because of Hitler?

        Is it fair to sanction a country because of it’s leadership?

            Are you bating us to compare Israels almost two year long demolition of Palestine, to the attack that Hamas did back in 2023? or trying to justify that it is a suitable reaction to it? I guess you want us to discuss details and enter an endless fractal of back and forths. That point has long expired

            Hate to break it to you, but the entire state of Israel is actually on Palestinian land. The land was literally called Palestine by Britain before they gave it to Israel in 1948 or so…

            For reference, Trump was born in 1946

            One could argue that in the time before Christ there were Jewish people in the area, but if we’re doing that, pretty much every nation state is illegitimate.

        Many countries are already boycotting lots of American stuff. Nothing racial about it.

        I could easily see a business saying no Israeli citizens allowed but still welcome American Jews with Israeli heritage. Still not antisemitic.

    Israel calls for Political accountability… This must be a joke! That said, this is not antisemitism. This may indeed be political accountability!

    Mixing religion and nationality is the excuse

    You mean shocks Zionist. I like how they like to conflate the two. Zionism = movement, Judaism = religion, the two are not the same.

      As Israelis they have the power to effect regime change…

      But I don’t see you mentioning the Israeli war crime of collective punishment of the Palestinians for the actions of Hamas though…. Interesting
