    There is a kernel of truth in what he says in that attacks on jews have increased significantly, which is horrible and wrong and needs to be fought, no doubt about that at all.

    But granting unwavering support to a government that is currently engaged in what the UN has officially determined to be a genocide? That is clearly and horribly wrong. What else has to happen before the german government decides to stop supplying weapons? How much is too much? Like, is there a threshold of civilians killed?

    What about the Jewish people who oppose the genocide in Palestine? Are they anti-semitic too?

    The pro-murdering Palestinian children lobby is working overtime.

    Probably because zionists are working so hard to keep the two terms synonymous. That’s not a justificatory reason to continue to actively support a genocidal state politically.

      Exactly: The State of Israel and its regime is one thing and the jewish religion a completely different one.

        Even more:

        Religion != Ethnicity != State != Government

        And that ethnicity is not only in this context incrisingly used as a stand-in for race…
