if people take what you are saying at face value they are going to be very inclined to believe that you can't really separate modern Israel as a nation state from Jewish people as a whole worldwide.
<Sigh>
Please stop blaming Jewish people for other people’s anti-semitism
Do you also tell Muslims that people will be inclined not to separate the actions of Saudi Arabia from Muslim people worldwide? If not why not? Why is that different?
Still waiting on that source that states even uttering the word ‘Israel’ is anti-Semitic.
Basically, people are now in the position of potentially having to say, any action required to ensure the continued existence of Israel needs to be supported or it is antisemitic.
And there we have it. A roundabout was of saying “don’t call me anti-Semitic, I just don’t agree with one country’s action and in fact YOU’RE oppressing ME by claiming i am anti-Semitic”.
Not much different from what Islamophobes do really. But then again too many people think anti-semitism isn’t racism.
The stereotyped notion that Jewish people ‘play the victim’ is anti-Semitic, BTW. That very notion was used in propaganda in the 1930’s to ensure people despised their Jewish neighbours. People weaponise Israel as their trump card for ‘don’t call me anti-Semitic, it’s YOUR people doing bad things’ as a means to say whatever the hell they want.
It’s fine to not support the Israeli government’s actions, and it is not anti-Semitic in itself - but to, as you have done, persist in arguing why it might tar all Jewish people with the same brush, is anti-semitic. It’s racism. Except no one gives a flying fuck.
