      Well they sure as hell are doing a lot more “Support for Israel” protests around the world and barely anything for Palestine. They’re actually selling land in Gaza in New York and ONLY Jewish people can purchase it. Disgusting.

        Yes; I would agree that behavior of those people is egregious.

        But I’m not actually certain you want to be on record as saying that the behavior of the majority of a group means we can judge every member of that group by it, do you? Reviving prejudicial practices feels like the wrong bandwagon.

      If isreal claims antisemitism for criticism of their policies, then they brought the Jewish population into this mess.

        Which is terrible of Israel and rightly deserves criticism; I miss how it necessitates us, as individuals, to be alright or comfortable with the conflation of all Jewish people, as a whole, with holding unified belief, particularly in a world with a very long history of prejudice that argues they’re a wily group that works in unified concert to achieve singular ends.

          Isreal picked this fight and has been calling any criticism of their actions antisemitism. They framed the argument and turned their state actions into a racial issue.

            Which is bad; obviously. Nobody in this thread is doing any apologia for Israel.

            In part because that’s not what depicted in this image, is it? This was a message written explicitly on kosher meals likely because the person who did it was conflating all Jewish people with being Israel supporters. Unless you’re O. K. with profiling, it should not be hard to identify the problem here. Fighting individual Jewish people is not the same as fighting Israel and it’s certainly not one we should be tolerating.
