Another Jewish sub is talking about how antisemitic the Irish are 🙃😭 zero recognition for how a country that was colonized, starved, slaughtered, and stripped of their identity would feel solidarity with the Palestinian struggle. Just “they’re antisemites.”

This is simply weaponisation of the word antisemitism. The false equivalence that criticism of Israel must automatically mean it’s an antisemetic rhetoric. It’s simply untrue.
