    There is no place for antisemitism, but there’s a lot of stuff that’s being called antisemitism that isn’t. Calling out a government commiting genocide or annexing sovereign territory is not antisemitic even if that government is Israel.

    Just like it’s not anti-American to call out the US for supplying Israel with weapons of war that are used in that genocide.

      I’m Jewish and I fart a lot. It’s not antisemitic to say that I fart a lot, but it is to say that Jews fart a lot based only on your know knowledge of me.

      If I come over to your house and drop an insane deuce in your toilet, it’s concerning but not antisemitic to say that a Jew ruined your toilet. If you tell your friends that the Jews conspired to blow up your toilet, that would be both antisemitic and 100% true.

      It also wouldn’t be anti-American to say that Chipotle provided me WMDs: Weapons of Massive Diarrhea
