Why are so many people - including many Jews - so critical of Israel; are they simply driven by antisemitism?

[surada]

Another reconstituted blood libel. By a primitive thinker.

Since 1950 .. they used to run weekly incursions into Syria and Lebanon to steal topsoil and kill a few angry farmers with hoes .

You were there, were you?

 

[toomuchtime_]

Because of their behavior in Palestine for the past 70 years.

It is only because you are so profoundly racist that that makes sense to you.

 

[surada]

You were there, were you?

Used to listen to the BBC and voice of America every night. You can read Moishe Dayan. They were always killing unarmed Lebanese and Syrian fafarmers.. just little massacres.

Poor you.

It makes no sense for Jews to seek sanctuary in Palestine and abuse the natives. What damaged human beings.

 

[surada]

Poor you.

Radio Free Europe and Radio Cairo were also standard fare. Israel was either killing Palestinians and taking their land or trying to provoke a war so they could claim to be victims.

Bottom line.-

So; you don’t like Jews.

Who knew?

We were talking about what a damaged human being you to hate all Jews because of allegations about what Israelis may have done.

Is antisemitism the cause of so much criticism of Israel?

Are the many Jews who criticize Israel antisemitic?

âItâs lonely being a Jewish critic of Israelâ â Nathan Thrall on his book about a Palestinian fatherâs tragedy

As the Israel-Hamas war escalates, the US author says his book tour is fraught with the possibility of misunderstanding

www.theguardian.com

What makes someone an antisemite?

Is condemning the murder of Palestinian children by Israel antisemitic?

Is pointing out that Israel is an apartheid state antisemitic?

Is talking about the contemptuous and violent behavior of Israeli ultra-Othrodox Jews toward non-Orthodix Jews, as well as Christians and Muslims, antisemitic?

Is pointing out unending Israeli war crimes antisemitic?

Is saying that the US should not continue giving Israel BILLIONS of dollars to fund ongoing Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity antisemitic?

Is condemning Israel's ethnic cleansing and genocide antisemitic?

Is calling Israel a terrorist state antisemitic?

Is pointing out that Israel is violently antisemitic antisemitic?

Is refusing to believe Israel's lies and fabricated evidence attempting to avoid responsibility for their bombing of a hospital antisemitic?

Is saying that people who are foolish enough to believe that Palestinians blew up their own hospital are also foolish enough to believe that Russia blew up its own pipeline antisemitic?

Is pointing out that the US is giving BILLIONS to actual Nazis in Ukraine antisemitic, or does stating this truth mean one is merely a Putin stooge?

Is calling for peace rather than more murder antisemitic?

Is standing up for violently oppressed people antisemitic?

Is pointing out that Israel is in many ways behaving toward the Palestinians as the Nazis behaved toward the Jews antisemitic?

I'd really love to be educated on what it means to be called an antisemite in 2023 when all one may be doing is refusing to fall into jackbooted agreement with crimes against humanity by a brutal apartheid state.

Asking for a mindful Jewish friend and longtime critic of Israel.

From an email:
Five factors in current aggressive Israelophobia spilling towards genocidal anti-Jewish :

* Ignorance.

* Youths being influenced by a fake-info clip on social media.. Pallywood or other.

* Arab racism / Islamic anti-Semitism. (- also the roots of the "conflict" - against the 'other' in the Middle East).

* Radical left who links Israel with the right.

* Neo-Nazi and other supremacists adding their "perspective."

* Media showing graphic images of dead kids which is exactly what Jihadi – fascists want, seek, bring about directly or indirectly. ('Dead kids strategy').

Rapture on, bible bangers? LOL

If you dont believe in God, or God’s word through the Bible then you will never understand whats happening - or why

Which puts you on the wrong side of history

Because Israel will exist from now till the Messiah appears

 

[Mac-7]

I'm aware of Christian history so of course I know that. Was anti-semitism considered to be the same thing as opposing Israeli government policies back then?

Arab muslims do not accept the Jewish state’s right to exist

And that means no peace in palestine

 

[cnm]

YAWN…. Deflection …. Still denying that Nasser closed the Straits If anyone tried to take land it was the Arabs

Yeah? Where the fuck exactly is Israel?

Sure I believe in god's word. Odin had nothing to say about Israel. Are you an atheist?

Used to listen to the BBC and voice of America every night. You can read Moishe Dayan. They were always killing unarmed Lebanese and Syrian fafarmers.. just little massacres.

One can read in his autobiography how Syrians were deliberately provoked to provide an excuse to take their land.

Land thieves have all the up to date methods.

Jews should remember that they are human beings just like the Palestinians and everyone else.
