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.
Everyone rational has always believed this. The government of Israel is not the Jewish people any more than the government of ISIS was representative of Muslims.
Wont, not can’t. Can’t implies that it’s not a choice.
They feel compelled by the fact they don’t think the children are human

Well that’s fucked, but nobody said anything about Christians or any kind of rituals, I think it was in reference to the ongoing genocide.

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?

So you’re willing to link to the blood libel Wikipedia page but you deny the existence of this genocide. I guess “Never Again” had an asterisk?
It’s not Blood Libel if the actual government is doing it.

You can wail and gnash your teeth all you want. The government of Israel will never represent Judaism.

If saying the government of Israel is not all of Judaism is blood libel then everything is blood libel and the label is meaningless.
