(8,088 posts)I think there is a lot more Antisemitism lately than there has been. I'm 100% against Antisemitism just so you know but I dont think using the words "genocide," or "bloodthirsty" or "colonialist" is Antisemitic. Antisemitic's can indeed use those words and do but I think others can use those words without being Antisemitic. All three of those words can be used to describe many nations, such as Americas push out west, The Dutch in Africa, Spain in South America. I myself try not to use those words and I haven't in reference to whats going on in Gaza but I still don't think they automatically infer Antisemitism. I think that on here we can afford to give people a bit more benefit of the doubt on both sides that people are not trying to be anything bad but just have a difference of opinion on the subject and come at this from different directions.
Thank you for listening,
