When everything Netanyahu doesn't like is antisemitism it begins to lose meaning/legitimacy. Which does great harm to addressing actual antisemitism.


Exactly; it could even be argued that weaponising antisemitism is itself antisemitic behaviour.


Antisemitism is a form of bigotry, no more or less special than other forms of bigotry and racism.

If you read any significant amount of history you'd know that already, and you wouldn't need to prove that Antisemitism is real. Of course it is. So is anti-[insert religious or ethnic group]


Them turning any criticism of Israels actions into antisemitism is making the word worthless, it's almost a badge of honor at this point. And ironically their genocide is creating real antisemitism.


Well, what a person calls a thing and what it is are often two different realities.

That's why it is existentially important to understand when a person is a liar, and then never elect them to govt.

Yeah, I know, that ship is sailed, but we could place a new framework on whom we choose to run our govts.

I honestly don't know what point you are trying to make here?

Well, it seems that at least in the case of Palestine, antisemites haven't been able to stop the ICC from addressing the real apartheid, war crimes, and even genocide that Israel is currently conducting in Gaza.
