    When both America and Israel accuse anybody demonstrating against the killing of children by the IDF as being antisemites they’re implying that killing children is a Jewish thing to do, because there is no doubt or denying that the IDF is killing children and they’re not even denying it.

    The real antisemitism is doing and supporting highly immoral deeds and then when criticised for those specific deeds claim that those criticizing it are against Jews, because that’s saying that the people doing said highly immoral deeds represent all Jews and the highly immoral deeds themselves are the product of Jewish values.

    Not even the worst antisemites since the time of the Nazis (with their “Jews eat babies” kind of propaganda) have associated mass murder of children, journalists and medical personnel with Jewishness and yet here we are with Zionists doing exactly that.

    People making fun of that strategy from the Israeli and American administrations are doing more to undo the damage done by those politicians as they shamellessly bind some of the most evil actions imaginable with Jewishness by using that accusation in an attempt to silence criticism of those action, than any amount of “but, but, but think about the Jews!” propagandists: the best thing for Jews in general is exactly that people aren’t thinking about Jews when they think about Zionists, Israel, their actions and their propaganda.
