    israel is fueling antisemitism and calling anyone who resists it antisemites

    One of the big effects of this is that it really waters down the term antisemite. If someone gets called an antisemite for saying Israel is committing a genocide, then an actual bona-fide antisemite gets antisemitic, the former person will be biased towards believing the label is unjustified on them as well

      i’ve also seen some people come to hate all jews because israel’s rhetoric has led them to the conclusion that antisemitism must be a positive thing. it’s such a fuckin’ nightmare
