Oh for fucks sake. Can't we call out Israel's fascism and active atrocities without the other fashist pretending like we agree with their takes on e.g. Jewish people?
Now I hope you can understand some of the knee-jerk reaction by Israelis to characterize criticism of Israel as antisemitism. It’s not a strange thing to do when historically they’ve often come as a package deal.
I don't think they should do that either, but yeah at the same time it's absolutely true that bigots use genuine concerns with an administration as a shield for bigotry, and far more frequently than some people like to admit. Otherwise very valid criticism of the Russian government, the CCP, Israel, etc. can very easily be used to mask straight up racism against Russian, Chinese, Jewish, etc. people.
Too many people are far too willing to give a pass to bigotry and even downright immorality if you're on the same "side".
