Some salient points but it isn’t necessarily social media that is driving the younger generations to increasingly see Israel as an oppressor, it’s them growing up in a world where Israel is increasingly an oppressor.
I wonder how many people answered “are Jews as a class oppressors” as if it asked about Israelis.
I also thought it was interesting that it only presents either “Israel as a homeland for Jews or no Israel at all” without a “Israel as a state where it’s a self evident truth that all people are created equal blah blah blah”.
Apparently caring about Palestinian children is “extremism” if you put the title of the post next to the bit about TikTok hashtags.
Given that the IHRA definition of antisemitism includes comparing the actions of the far-right government of Israel with Nazis, plenty of legitimate discourse is easily written off as “antisemitism”.
Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
