though he did so with the use of further antisemitic tropes by suggesting that the U.S. and NATO campaign against ISIS had been “manufactured by Israel.”
Oh, so it's antisemitic to say anything negative about Israel now. Got it.

What makes this really evil is the fact that real antisemitism is on the rise but no one seems to care.
That is literally correct, it IS antisemitic according to the IHRA definition and examples. For example, criticising Israel over things other countries aren't getting criticised for (manufacturing this situation). It's a very sneaky way to censor speech and people are regularly persecuted over antisemitism claims for criticising Israel.

How exactly is this antisemitic?
"...though he did so with the use of further antisemitic tropes by suggesting that the U.S. and NATO campaign against ISIS had been “manufactured by Israel.”"
Clearly you haven't read Leveraging white guilt over the Holocaust to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity with impunity by Benjamin Netanyahu
Being against the fascist government of Israel is now antisemitic. It's the mask the fascists are wearing. They're abusing everyone's intolerance of antisemitism to push their imperialist agenda.
To Zion, antisemitism is just their catch phrase when in fact they mean you can't be anti Zionist. Oh you don't like it when we genocide an entire people and kill millions. You must be antisemitic!!!! I guess we need to kill you too
Fuck israel
If I were Jewish I'd be livid if people kept lumping me in with the state of Israel.
If a Jew speaks up against Israel they get pressured and threatened by Israel, so they stopped speaking up.
And as we noticed, Israel equating anti zionist with antisemitic made a number of people shrug and go "guess I'm antisemitic now."
Was on my way to post exactly this. This semantic overloading of the term antisemitic will lead to jews in other countries dying, mark my words.
No it won't,
Despite the filthy zionists desperately trying to conflate their fascist ideology with judaism nobody falls for that.
Nobody will hold jews responsible for this cult's actions.
The only ones that do that are probably right-wingers that were already antisemites to begin with.
What is happening now however are attempts on synagogues and jewish places in EU.
You could see that coming from the articles in the press priming the public with 'leaked' reports on 'Iranian sleeper cells' activated.
That's when I knew Mossad would get at it again, trying to get the public opinion, vastly against the war, to go along with sending troops to help the US/Ir childkillers.
What has ISIS to do with Iran?
They are sworn enemies with these US backed terrorists.
Oh, the Independent? Say no more
If this were me, I also wouldn't want to be in his position, where Trump has started a war of choice against a country that's willing to use terror as a weapon, where Trump has deliberately handicapped counterterrorism and intelligence departments, and where the person in charge has repeatedly demonstrated that he's never willing to accept responsibility for either his decisions or their consequences.
Israel lobby forced US into this war
We all have the sunglasses to see the lizard people are in control. As a high ranking insider, he has the best, or at least much better, sunglasses of all. A constitution that protects the lizard people's power structure over Americans is dysfunctional.
