    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?

            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?

                Yeah you’re going to need to source that. Never Again is a slogan referring to the Holocaust. At best some people say it means just for Jews, but I think we can all agree genocide is bad, right?

                    By which you must mean only the super hardcore Zionists right? Because I’m pretty sure these guys disagree with your definition. Pretty sure Stefanie disagrees. Oh look, more disagreement.

                    Cherry picking hardliner writing to try and coopt a common phrase isn’t very cool. Especially if you’re using it to deny a genocide.
