    True, but I’ve been seeing a fair number of people commenting in a way that shows they don’t know that, and are conflating Israel with all Jewish people everywhere.

      Some of that is intentional, it’s not new for pro-isreal lobby groups to smack the “antisemitic” label on any public figure who speaks out against the government of Israel, been going on for years.

      Obviously actual nazis and antisemitic people suck and should be called out for their bullshit, but the powers that be have also made the problem worse by inaccurately throwing the label on people.

        True. There’s also the Zionist push to link Israel with all Jewish people, whether the Jewish people in question want it or not.

          Yup, it works as a shield for any criticism for them.
