So let me get this straight

We aren't allowed to criticize Israel for commiting a genocide because it's antisemitic to even suggest that?

We shouldn't call it a genocide because the idea of a group of people who were horrifically persecuted and has that trauma permanently coded into their dna are now magically incapable of doing the same thing to another group of people?

It shouldn't be considered a genocide because the ones perpetrating the genocide were attacked first and suffered losses?

No, it's cool guys. Our genocide is actually justified. Don't you see what they did? Don't you see we are doing it in their name? Don't you see how we can't put the ones we lost to rest until we get rid of every last perpetrator even if it costs tens of thousands of lives? I'm (rightfully) sad, I'm (rightfully) angry, I'm (rightfully) horrified at what happened to my people. So let's kill everyone who stands in our path to justice.

Truthfully, I don't know much about the judiasm. But is that really what your book says or is it just your government? From the lovely people I have met throughout my life, I really don't think it's the first.

I don't understand. Not one person in my life that I have talked to about what's happening in Gaza hates jewish people, they just seem to hate genocide. They hate to see history repeating itself.

Antisemitism is real, antisemitism happens, and is happening. It affects so many lives and truly changes the world for the worse. But my criticism of israel, my horror everytime I research what's happening in gaza, my despair every time a post crosses my dash arguing about the wrong thing in an attempt to ignore the real issue isn't about being antisemitic or hating jewish people or hating their faith. For once, my friends, this isn't about you.

Give me a number on how many people in gaza that has to die before you can no longer justify a genocide. Ten thousand? One million? All of them? Or will you wait fifty years until you see the horror of your country's actions written in a textbook
