It seems like any criticism of the actions of the Israeli state brings a response of anti semitism ..
I cannot believe that is right. It would mean that the Israeli state is not subject to the norms of civilised behaviour. Most of which relate back to the treament of Jewish people by the Nazis.
The concept of collective punishment never existed before the Holocaust.
I have been accused of anti semitism on very spurious grounds and I have seen other posters accused of the same.
I just dont get it. It makes the slur meaningless when it is used and is an insult to those who have suffered.
There is a grand canyon between someone like Nick Fuentes denying the Holocaust and someone who thinks bombing babies is a bad thing.
Ive seen similar tactics used by the same people in other areas. For example, older posters may remember when Drag Story Hours were going to end civilisation.Anyone who deumrred frrom that nonsense was called a "groomer".
Even someone calling for a ceasefire is tarred with the same brush. Isnt it better to talk than kill ?
It seems a boneheaded approach and risks alienating friends of jewish people.
When is it OK to criticise the Israeli state ?
