If it's antisemitic to call out and despise those that support the genocide of innocent children and civilians, then I'm a proud antisemite. That hill I WILL die on.
I do not think this is the point they were making, like at all.
Is it not? This meme says you're allowed to criticize the government of Israel, but I'm taking it one step further and criticizing the population of Israel that supports killing babies, children, women, and innocents.
There's a pretty big difference between criticizing Nazis and saying and entire population should be expelled.
The meme is literally, explicitly, saying the opposite. That's not antisemitic.
No, that's not antisemitic in the least. Israel is committing a genocide, and it should be treated as a pariah state and all measures possible employed against it to pressure it to cease.
What is antisemitic is, as mentioned in the title and seen advocated by people in this very comment section, advocating for the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Israel, especially when combined with the bizarre notion that Israel-born Israelis can just be shipped back to where their ancestors came from in Europe, like some bizarre mirror image of the Nazis in the 1930s planning to ethnically cleanse Germany of Jews by shipping them to where their ancestors came from in Palestine.
The majority of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi who came from Middle Eastern countries. They are also the political base of Likud and other right wingers. Itamar Ben Gvir is an Iraqi Jew for example. The Ashkenazi (European) Jews are more likely to be center and left.
Of course Western activists don't know any of that. For them Israelis = white = European = evil, Palestinians = brown = good is the only model to understand the world. Palestinians and Jewish Israelis are indistinguishable just from looks. Both have pretty varied phenotypes from blond to black.
Pretty big difference between despising someone and wishing for an ethnic cleansing.
