In reply to the discussion: Is criticism of Israel antisemitic? [View all]Beastly Boy
(10,496 posts)95. I am reading your post prior to your edit at 11:03 pm,
when your criticism of Israel was not limited to the government, and when you blamed Israel, with no further distinction, for "locking millions of people in an open air prison"
"Never" appears to last only about 10 minutes in your case.

We can't presume racism underlying any or every post that is expressing horror at mass casualties of any population

Funny! That's not unlike the saying "When did you stop beating your wife?" Do you see what I mean? To create a scenario

The word "exterminating" when used to describe Israelis is considered antisemitic.

The Palestinian problem gives them the excuse that they need to justify their hatred.

Absolutely. It ain't who or how many are being killed...it's who's doing the killing that has everyone's hair on fire.

A lot of money, education, and an occupation by Allied forces went into that

"15,000 women and children" Wow, so all the suspect numbers reported by Hamas are now just women & children?

As I said, as the only number come from a terrorist group with lots of reasons to lie it is unknown

Like the "compassion and empathy" toward random Jewish shopkeepers just selling falafels?

Referring to him as Nuttyahoo kind of diminishes your credentials as an expert on antisemitism. n/t

When they attack and deface a Jewish deli with anti-Semitic slurs, is that just "anti-Bibi"?

Gaza is an open-air prison. Israel controls their water, their food, the Internet, their lives.

No. If you can't criticize someone who you think is doing something wrong, what can you do?

True, but crying "genocide" is. And "Free Palestine from the river to the sea" is.
