After looking at OPs comments and discussing with him it’s clear to me that he posted this article with a clear agenda.
If Israel’s right to exist is a controversial topic, I‘m out.
I have the opinion that it’s not antisemitism to call out an evil government and protest against its actions.
Getting flustered about Germany saying Israel has a right to exist and not understanding historical reasons why that is the case is just naivety I hope.
Bit of a double standard though, right? They don’t have to affirm Palestinian’s right to statehood. If not saying Israel is a legitimate state is anti-semitism, wouldn’t that make the same stance toward Palestine islamaphobia?
They are saying that your answer is indicative of the attitudes prevalent of your home instance. It’s a very common fediverse method of attempting to dismiss arguments that someone doesn’t agree with but can’t otherwise disprove.
Alright, lets wrap that up, shall we.

Yes. It’s a Double standard. It was born out of history. Namely the genocide on the Jews by the nationalsocialists.
Germany doesn’t have a special history with Palestine, so they don’t get mentioned.
And yes, I think Germany should recognise a Palestinian state.
What does israel have to do with anti-semitsm?
You keep intentionally conflating Judaism and Zionism after been corrected.
Furthermore you don’t appear to know the history of israel. Zionists had been colonizing Palestine years before Hitler came to power.
You got me. I do. I know there is a difference, but in my experience it rarely matters.
But that’s the point. Recognizing israel is absolutely irrelevant to anti-semitism.
If anything israel using Judaism as a shield for their war crimes is the biggest cause of anti-semitism.
So this move by the German government does not combat anti-semitism. It creates anti-semitism by specifically calling israel a “Jewish” state.
I disagree with you.
It’s not illegal to be wrong on the internet, but don’t feel compelled to keep doing so.
Fuck me, they’re arguing States rights. Is there a playbook for this atrocity denial or what?

Sorry, I don’t understand you. What do you mean?
