Normal criticism of Israel: "Israel's government is guilty of war & humanitarian crimes."
Antisemitism:
"Israel are the New Nazis revelling in the murder of innocent pure children & is a criminal Entity that must be annihilated, then its people dispersed & watched as obvious sex pests."
Normal criticism of Israel: "The occupation of the West Bank and the siege of Gaza are vile crimes against Israel's treaty obligations under international law."
Antisemitism: "Every Israeli's name and culture are fake; they should be sent back to Poland to die."
Right but no one cares about international law or treaties. Your examples are pretty wooden. Apartheid, ethnic cleansing and concentration camp are all also fair. And antisemitic leftists ate real, but many Dems also consider accurate descriptions to be antisemitic
The original post accurately states that accustions of antisemitism are being used as a tool by many facets of US society to do fascism. 1. You couldn't refute that. 2. Your own examples of fair criticism of Israel were tame and hollow. 3. No one is saying antisemitism isn't real and bad.
This (last night) is the sort of thing I often see five to seven messages into a typical thread about Israel. No pushback. It's just taken for granted.
Yeah this is bad. The debate wasn't over whether or not antisemitism is real, but how society, including some dems and private orgs (ADL) are using antisemitism as a tool to do fascism.

Almost every Jew who's paying even the slightest attention can cite example after example of how American leftist spaces have become *miserable*!
