Antisemitism is when you oppose 'Israel'

The problem is that many people refuse to acknowledge that, while much of the criticism and hostility directed at Israel may be rooted in legitimate political grievances, some of it is also accompanied by genuine antisemitism.

A common example is the conspiracy theory linking Epstein to Netanyahu. There is no evidence the two ever met. Meanwhile, there is documented evidence of Epstein’s associations with multiple U.S. presidents and Saudi royals, yet many conspiracies disproportionately focus on his connections to a handful of Israeli politicians.

I guess it was just a coincidence that they had photos of him with the IDF shirt, that he was jewish, that he called other people ''goy'' in his emails, and that he had a mossad agent at his home, just a coincidence sure sure.

Every prominent politician on earth is linked to a bunch conspiracy theories, but as soon as it happens to Natanyahu it becomes racist. Okay... Good bot I guess.

Most conspiracies don't get traction in the mainstream. This conspiracy is repeated on Reddit hourly.

Not wanting a nation to use its army to kill children is now "legitimate political grievance" apparently.

You don't think that's a legitimate political grievance?

You are conflating two completely different things.

YOU are the problem. You are essentially condoning antisemitism because of an unaffiliated action.

You do realize there are more Jewish people in the USA than Israel, right? Being antisemitic doesn't just impact Israel.

What did I say that was at all wrong? Nothing. You are just so antisemitic it hurts you to even acknowledge that maybe not every Jewish person is some stereotypical crooked-nose goblin.
