It is antisemitic as hell to suggest Palestine cannot be free without Jews suffering which is what equating "Free Palestine" to antisemitism does as it implies that Judaism is at its core meant to commit this Genocide against Palestinians, which is the most heinous way imaginable to me that you could drag Judaism through the mud...
If anything, it’s antisemitic to equate the Jewish people to Israel and pretend criticizing Israel is criticizing Jews. I’m an american and I am strongly opposed to the things happening here as well as in the UK. But that doesn’t mean I by default hate americans/Brits because I am against what the governments are doing. That’s really dumb.
Some liberals here in the states are also conflating them to the point where they say progressive candidates running with the platform that they are not accepting money from AIPAC is antisemitic. It’s mind boggling to me how one comes to these thoughts.
Not that I would have used them anyway, but now will actively suggest that nobody else does either.
How can suggesting "Free a Semitic country" be anti-Semitic?
