Back in the days an "Antisemite" was a person who doesn't like jews. Today, an "Antisemite" is a person who jews don't like.
Couldn't say it better. It is nowadays used to shut down other opinions, as no one wants to be named an Antisemit.
I would just add some jews, as I am pretty sure a lot of Jews and people in Israel have a complete different view than their current government.
I've started using "Zionist" these days, because there's plenty of normal Jewish people who don't support genocide, it's the Zionists who are hell-bent on it.
Well fuck, I don't like Netanyahu at all. I guess that makes me a literal Nazi.... I dunno man, I feel like I would make a pretty shit Nazi, I just don't really hate Jewish people. Only Netanyahu. Heck, I don't even hate Netanyahu for being Jewish, I just hate him because he is a bloodthirsty genocidal fascist lunatic. But it is what it is, I guess.
Look at this nazi over here, trying to justify their views as a nazi. Typical Nazis.
The word you’re looking for is zionist.
Jewish people often struggle with the difference themselves. The zionists are the crackheads who think they own Jerusalem and a wide circle around it because some mythical figure with advanced tech will land there, and only there, at a difficult to determine time in the future, and only will do so if they murder everything that isn’t them in a 100 mile radius.
They also have successfully infiltrated most of the banking world, corporate media, and are now beginning to take over western state media as well.
They have at their disposal the biggest intelligence apparatus in the world, capable of compromising and blackmailing american presidents.
The thing about blackmail is it loses its power once you confess the deed held over your head.
Yeah .. that or separating the head from the body of the pedophile being blackmailed
Zionism is just the idea that Jews have right to their nation/state
Trying to pass it off as 'bro they just want a place to have a nation' is an extremely biased and antiquated perspective.
Zionism encompasses many beliefs, those of the current Israeli government are revisionist Zionism that are intent on Israel having a much larger area as its homeland - including taking/destroying and colonizing all of the Palestinian territories and invading and taking areas other countries, by force. There is also a lot of overlap with the belief of an ethnostate amongst most popular Israeli Zionist leaders, apartheid policies, and state-run genocide. None of which were stated as initial goals of Zionism ~125 years ago when it began.
Thanks for the added nuance.
Why the fuck should a religion have a right to a nation state?
And, more importantly, how are you going to accomplish that without displacing other people already living on the land you have chosen for your colonialist bullshit project?
Being called an anti-Semite by Israel is like being called a Russophobe by Russia.
Antinetanyahu≠Antisemitic

Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal!!
I guess being against war crimes makes you an anti Semite by today's Israeli standards.
They throw that term around left and right so today it has no meaning when Israelis call people that.
The Israelis kind of have a point here, that the "burning of Judas" Easter tradition in many European and Latin American countries is indeed a case of folk antisemitism.
Just Google "burning of Judas" and "antisemism" and you'll find plenty of gross examples.
That said, the Israelis should also freshen up on the ancient fable about the boy who cried wolf...
PS. Send Netanyahu and his cronies to the Hague, end the genocide, dismantle apartheid and the occupation, free Palestine and pay them reparations.
If being against genocide, etnic states, and useless war is antisemitic, i am antisemitic. They throw the word around so much it does not have any meaning anymore. Just isolate these nazist. Dont buy their shit, dont play against them in any world event, dont let them enter your shops. Let them enjoy their stolen land in isolation, as they want. Give them the same treatment they reserve to their neighbours, they will be happy. 'Them' is not jews, but zionists. Wherever they live.
They should never have a moment's peace on the have of those they torture, rape and murder.
kek
lmao
