    You’re conflating hate crimes with the political stances people are taking in reference to Israel’s actions in Gaza.

    We are not talking about the same thing.

      You are being dismissive of people who are against antisemitism because “they couldn’t possibly be talking about actual antisemitism”

      That seems to just be digging a deeper hole for yourself

        No, he’s saying that criticism of Israel is not anti-semitic. In fact, I would argue that Israel’s actions and attitude are probably the main driving cause of anti-Semitism currently. They are the ones who insist that they represent all Jewish people.

          So you’re saying their comments are entirely irrelevant to the conversation and come from a point of ignorance rather than an attempt to distract and discredit

          I initially thought that as well, that’s why I corrected it until they decided to double down on the take
