Criticizing Israel is not antisemitic.
Assuming all Jews support the government of a genocidal apartheid ethnostate, on the other hand, very much is.
This. When I criticize the Israel government and Palestine government, and mention that I am in support of civilians of Palestine and Israel, I get called anti-semitic. Apparently, hating the government of Israel means you must hate Jews despite you are in support of the civilians side of Israel.
Going to an anti-Israel rally is being anti-Jewish in the same way that cops who do stop and frisks are being racist.
There may be no hate in your heart, but your selective targeting of one group over another is playing into a bigoted system.
Like, I'm sure the anti-Israel protesters are just as outraged about North Korea, China, all the Arab countries that are oppressing women, killing homosexuals, and are so anti-Jewish that they've killed off or exiled their entire Jewish population.
... But they only ever get around to protesting Israel.
Going to an anti-Israel rally is being anti-Jewish
No, it’s not. Speaking out against an oppressive regime in an apartheid state isn’t targeting Jewish people. It’s targeting the oppressive regime in an apartheid state.
It’s like saying that criticizing the American government is the same as saying you’re anti-American, or speaking against the CCP is being anti-Chinese.
It’s just blatantly false, and an attempt to suppress others from speaking out.
Students take a contradictory side to their government.
And Bears do in fact shit in the woods.
True!
Have a great day!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Israel-Hamas war has upended activity on U.S. college campuses, pitting student groups against their own university leaders as long-simmering tensions between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian organizations boil over.
“On campus, we’re seeing students either turn a blind eye to the conflict, or we’re seeing those who are openly celebrating our pain, you know, glorifying it, justifying it,” Gritz told The Hill.
It also did not speak for the thousands of New Yorkers who are capable of rejecting both Hamas’s horrifying attacks against innocent civilians as well as the grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation,” she added.
College campuses in the U.S. have been a hotbed on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for years, with each flare-up of violence in the Middle East sparking renewed frustrations on both sides.
That’s what the college campus is about, and grieving these vicious and cruel attacks on Israeli civilians,” said Debbie Yunker Kail, the executive director of Hillel Jewish Student Center at Arizona State University.
A recent Ipsos survey from before the conflict showed 57 percent of Jewish students on college campuses say they have witnessed or experienced antisemitism, either at their school or in the general public.
