Yeah, I know. That's precisely why we need to use terms like that to create a wake up call. Because yeah bro, what is happening is horrific, and its INTENDED to be.
I was not speaking specifically about you per say it was a general "you". Sorry.
I'm mentionning that using the antisemitic card right now is REALLY not the time. Let me remind you that currently, multiple members of the opposition party in France, including the president of the biggest leftist party (this news just dropped yesterday) are being pressured by police complaints for antisemitism and terrorism apologism. So right now, the antisemitic card is being used as a tool ALL OVER THE WORLD to suppress any condamnation of the current genocide done by Israel. This is really not the best card and no, I do not want to "understand" jews or zionist that use this card to suppress the condamnation of a massacre. Those people are complicit in the invisibilization of an atrocity.
its fine to call out antisemitism where it actually exists
but when you cherry pick a few antisemites and use their actions to characterize the entire movement, you’re tbh just weaponizing your Jewishness to support a war. A war that has probably taken the lives of much of the October 7th hostages that could have otherwise been saved if israel had pushed for ceasefire sooner.

An anti-war and anti-israel protests are not anti-jew protests.
The goals of the latter is specifically a criticism of Israeli actions and America’s complicity in them. While far from the majority, there are many Jews who are taking part in the protests.
An actual anti-Jew protests is something like Charlottesville. The antisemites there weren’t just a few agitators, nazis had collectively organized to show up there for the explicit purpose of making their hatred known.
