The argument, as I understand it, is that Israel is just a normal small country like any other small country, and any special focus on it suggests a sinister desire to single out Jews for discrimination.

But have you ever noticed how the same people who accuse Israel’s critics of “obsession” with a tiny insignificant country will also fall all over themselves to tell you that Israel is an indispensable ally whose interests are inextricably intertwined with the interests of western civilization?

    Conflating the actions of the Israeli government with Jewish people as a whole sounds pretty antisemitic to me.

    Edit: this is in reference to the Israeli government.

      yes the zio-fascist shitraeli government is indeed very antisemitic.
      Conflating themselves with and hiding behind their jewishness is all they do.

        He’s saying AIPAC, the Israeli government and similar groups that hide behind the anti-Semitism defence are not acting in the interests of the Jewish people, and are therefore anti-Semites.

      Conflating Israel and Jewish people is the most anti-semitic thing I’ve ever seen, God.

      What is with you people bringing up all Jewish people whenever someone criticizes Israel? Do y’all not see how nazi-like y’all sound?
