These people should learn that there's a vast difference between a number of things, and they all mean different things:
Country: Pro or Anti-Israel and Pro or Anti-Palestine
Political: Pro or Anti-Zionist and Pro or Anti-Hamas
Religion: Pro or Anti-Jewish and Pro or anti-Islamic
People: Pro or Anti-Israeli and Pro or anti-Palestinian
Actions: Pro or Anti-Genocide and Pro or Anti-rockets/guerilla attacks
None of these heading mean the same thing. You can have different opinions about the politics than you do about the people. That is allowed. Conflating them is antisemitic, and disingenuous. Those who campaign for blanket bans and censorship based on disagreements of politics are doing themselves and their causes a great disservice. Supporting Jews doesn't mean you love genocide. Supporting Palestinians doesn't mean you support Hamas.
e.g. I'm Pro-Israel and Palestine, Anti-Zionist and Hamas, Pro Jewish and Islamic, Pro Israeli and Palestinian, and Anti genocide and rockets.
Fed up with all these cunts and their thought crime.
100% agree. Sadly most of the people conflating these concepts are doing so deliberately to push their own agendas.
