Is all criticism of Israel antisemitic?

[West Leas Oros 2]

No.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

No, and anyone Who says it is is either a useful idiot or is a bad faith actor who wants to hide the truth that Israel isn't the nicest little country on earth. This is also why these stupid unconstitutional and un-american anti BDS laws exist in the states. The sooner we call Israel out on its bullshit, the sooner everyone will be better off. I know I'm no racist. Some hypernationalistic zionist calling me one won't change that

Sadly, I’ve seen people use the antisemitic card to try and shot down any discussion of Israel’s wrongdoing in this conflict. I maintain this: Israel has a right to exist, but so does Palestine, and the Israeli government isn’t pure as the driven snow here.

[ZSeparatists]

Kind of, but I agree both Israel and Palestine deserve to exist.

[Rojava Free State]

No. That said, there is a significant and worrying degree of overlap between criticism of the Israeli government, Anti-Zionism, Anti-Semitism. As far as I can tell, every substantial Palestinian activist organization has ties to known Anti-Semites or has made official statements to support an over-arching Anti-Semitic narrative. Anti-Semitism in the Palestinian Territories and much of the Muslim world is alarmingly high. It's so bad that even Western critics of Israel are often using it as a thin veil for Anti-Semitism - such as all those Labour activists in the UK and multiple elected officials in the US. You can be critical of Israel all you like but, when Jewish people start telling you that you're resorting to offensive stereotypes or that you're being a bigot, it's worthwhile to examine your prejudices and maybe adjust your rhetoric accordingly. "Israel is committing ethnic cleansing" isn't Antisemitism. "Israel and the Jews are hypnotizing the world" is.

I'm pretty sure most of the Palestinians just wanna not be killed or beat down by trucheon wielding soldiers and cops. They probably don't enjoy having their houses bulldozed to make way for settlements either

Antisemitism exists in almost every society worldwide. That doesn't mean most people in any particular society are anti semites, nor does it mean that their justifiable anger at the Israeli government for bringing terror to their town is related to a hatred for jews. I don't like the Ku Klux Klan, but I'm totally fine with white people. I hate ISIS, and could spend all day talking about the creative ways their members should be punished but I'm not anti muslim. The Japanese war crimes against China in world war II were unspeakable, but I don't blame Japanese people today for those incidents. My dad being a prick annoys me but I don't blame all Latin Americans of Lebanese heritage for it. I can't stand the government of israel, not because they're jews, but because they're assholes. I couldn't care less about how Jewish they claim to be

The Israeli government often claims it has a right to defend itself. It seems to forget that bombing civilians, ordering your soldiers to fire on children and kicking people out of their neighborhoods to move in Jewish settlers isn't self defense. It's oppression

[Cekoviu]

No, obviously.

[Iscoria]

No obviosly, but still, all anti-semitists are also anti-Israel, so there's a a bit of overlap of the groups

[Bear Stearns]

Yes. Don’t question our Greatest Ally.

[Monsone]

No. Yes there are people who are Anti-Israel, and Anti-Semitic. But most of the criticism comes from Israel's actions in and against Palestine. And that is justified.

I wish I belonged to an ethnic group where criticism of it had its own term and was actually illegal in some countries.

Alas, I am a white American and do not have such a privilege.

They shared a platform with Corbyn, a man who has hesitated to condemn them. So....

Also there are American politicians who openly support groups who are just as bad, if not worse than Hezbollah, so complaints about them fall on deaf ears.

Which reminds me, why isn't AIPAC registered as a foreign agent? :^)
