        They feel compelled by the fact they don’t think the children are human

          Israel may be an ethnostate, but the actions of its leadership are not representative of the Jewish population as a whole. That is to say, stop disingenuously conflating criticism of a genocidal government with antisemitism.

              It’s evident that you’re cherry-picking tangential details to argue against, so let me say this in unambiguous terms:

              Accusing Jews of being unable to stop themselves from murdering children is unambiguous antisemitism with a long history dating back to the Middle Ages.

              People here are not accusing Jews of doing anything. We aren’t using “Israel” as a stand-in or dogwhisle for ethnically Jewish people or the Jewish religion.

              People are accusing the government of Israel of being unwilling to refrain from committing war crimes.

                  I’m sorry you must have slept through the last decade?

                  Those accusations were absolutely there. They just weren’t a conversation because everyone agreed. Why are you defending a genocidal regime?

            Says the person trying to link criticism of Israel to antisemitism.

            Everyone is tired of this nonsense. Israel Is not Jewish people, many Jews outright hate the state. You can freely attack and criticise Israel without it being a reflection on Jewish people.

            The only person who would think otherwise is an actual antisemite.

                No one cares about your hateful nonsense.

                Criticism of Israel is not criticism of Judaism.

                End of fucking story.

                    Don’t pull that crap.

                    One of the bloody mods of this community is Jewish. Many users on the Fediverse are Jewish. Being Jewish does not mean you support Israel.

                    Criticism of Israel is not critics of Judaism. Get that through your head.
