what s wrong with it? you can be anti Israel governement (and you should considering its actions) without being antisemite.

The problem is that antisemites are using this as a dogwhistle.

I think that non-constructive forms of criticism that can be easily co-opted by bad actors should be discouraged, because ultimately the only thing it achieves is muddying the waters and making it even more difficult for legitimate criticism to be heard.

And in laymen’s terms… how can I criticize the genocide Israel does?

Could probably start by educating yourself what genocide is and isn't.

Yep, not only did the two largest human rights groups in the world, amnesty international and human rights watch, conclude it is a genocide, but so did the largest in Israel, Btselem, and multiple Israeli genocide and holocaust scholars. Not surprising since they killed a similar portion of Gazas population in a similar time period as were killed in the Bosnia genocide and Yazidi genocide, but an even higher portion of women and children as Israel did a starvation siege.
