    It’s exactly what it’s about. Criticism of Israel is included in the official definition of Anti-Semitism in many countries and organizations.

        You don’t but the big news outlet and governments live by them. If their booklet says X is antisemitism then they’re going to respond as if it is. Regardless of reality.

      Of course, and rightly so. But calls like “from the river to the sea” are not criticism of Israel, but a call for genocide. That’s as antisemitic as it can get. Violation of safety of Jewish student (not Israeli, but Americans with Jewish religion) also has zero relationship with Israeli criticism and 100% relationship with antisemitism.

        So you’re saying that Netanyahu’s son is “calling for genocide” and “as antisemite as it can get”, given that he used those exact words in a post back in December.

        In fact the White House spokesperson was confronted with this back then in a Press Conference because the White House was using exactly the same propaganda technique as you of claiming calls for freedom in Palestine were “antisemitism”.

        Thank you for confirming that the Zionists are genocidal fascists. Because they invented this term and they mean it in the way of annihilating the Palestinian people, to fulfill they Lebensraum fascist dream.

        But how do the Palestinians use it? “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”. They demand an end to their opression and occupation by the fascists.

          The Israeli version is

          “Between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.”

        Yeah, I haven’t heard these students say that. Have you? Stop making up bullshit.

        I have heard officials in Israel use almost that exact wording though…
