    You’re either using antisemitic in bad faith or don’t understand what it is. Opposing Israeli oppression of Palestinians is not antisemitic. Antisemitism is hating Jewish people for being Jewish, or assuming that every Jewish person is to blame for something done by other Jewish people (or made up entirely). Calling criticism of Israel antisemitic is antisemitic itself because it is implying that those criticisms are apply to all Jewish people. They don’t, and don’t even apply to all Israelis, since I assume that some of them are appalled at how Palestine has been treated over the last century and there has been momentum to remove the far right government from power, but there’s this interesting pattern where the less secure his power gets, the more likely a hamas attack is, which then pushes a regime change down the line.

    It’s also interesting how they use tactics that might kill current hamas but also kills a lot of innocents, which is fucked on its own but also ensures that others who don’t die will be more likely to join hamas and keep the conflict going.
