This is walking close to actual antisemitism. Equating Jewish culture with the actions of the fascist Israeli government is effectively calling for violence against all Jews, many of whom are publicly disavowing the genocide in Palestine
It’s frustrating as fuck, I’m sure a lot of people have genuinely good intentions and just lack the knowledge to recognize what is valid criticism of the state of Israel and what is antisemitic garbage. The lines are increasingly blurred, which only serves to undermine criticism, endanger Jews, and promote Netanyahu’s genocidal agenda.
Now, more than ever, it’s important not to spread antisemitism, and to call it out, downvote, and report it when you see it. That shit never belonged anywhere in the past, and it sure as hell doesn’t belong anywhere today.
It doesn’t help that Israel is basically calling anyone even slightly critical of it’s occupation as “Hamas.” While not being able to aim at anything besides aid workers/press/humanitarian encampments.
That being said, the more actions like this that sneak out, and the more that the USA and Israel try to tighten their grip, the worse the conspiracy theories and anti-antisemitism will become.
Nothing is going to stop because Israel’s leadership is trying to start a war with Iran, and the USA wants to sell weapons. All while holding the Jewish religion as a body shield.

My guy, like 90% of “anti-Israel” posts you see are like one degree off from straight up antisemitism
I was trying to be diplomatic but hard agree
