    When a common refrain of pro-Israel propaganda is “All criticism is antisemitism”, you bet your fucking ass that the opinion of American Jews is important.

      Similarly, when people assume that because you’re a Jew you must support Israel, it’s also important to make that distinction.

      Literally nobody thinks except actual antisemites who want to mask their hatred of Jews by hiding behind “akchually it’s anti-zionism”. I saw a guy on Instagram defend muslims in Europe literally fucking drawing stars on the houses of Jews as “anti-zionism”. Like no, that’s just straight up nazi shit.

        So you saw one dumbass Nazi on the internet, and now you think that’s how anyone who is “anti-zionist” believes? Fuck off with that.

        Not only is it completely logically unsound, it’s insulting to people who are capable of understanding nuance.

        But no, you? You know this already don’t you? You’re not actually this dumb. Maybe you were even briefed about this exact conversation tree by a superior officer. But I’m not even sure you deserve that benefit of the doubt.

        People see through this shit now. It’s not working anymore as a smoke screen for the disgusting war crimes and atrocities committed on the Palestinian people that you aren’t allowed to admit have been happening for 60+ years.
