Yep, that's exactly the dumb, bullshit claims about antisemitism I was talking about. I can't take any claims of antisemitism seriously when it's really just anti-zionism or basic criticism of the authoritarian nature of Israel or just their inhumane treatment of the legal citizens so illegal settlers can steal their land.
I refuse to accept basic criticism of Israel as antisemitism, because that gives them an intellectually lazy rhetorical dodge to justify committing acts that their forebearers had once claimed 'never again'.
