    There’s a difference between being antisemitic and anti Israel! People seem to forget these days. Being antisemitic because Israel is being shit is extremely stupid

      It doesn’t help that some actual anti semitic people are also using this as an excuse to chime in. Some protests about it in the UK right now.

      I think it’s a strategy that used to work: call people anti-Semitic to get them to shut up. It worked after WW2 and the Holocaust but it doesn’t work anymore.

    The worst part is I can’t tell if this if people genuinely thinking this and commenting, or if the comments are the results are part of an Israeli cyber operation to sway public sentiment after bombing civilians.

    I don’t like the implication that this leaves you with. There are two readings of this and neither are good:

    1. The meme is conflating Judaism and Zionism which is quite literally antisemitism.
    2. It implies that people should be antisemitic because Israel is bad, which is antisemitic on so many more levels.

    Very likely the OP didn’t consider the implications of their meme but there’s also a chance they posted this in bad faith.

    EDIT: Yeah this is a troll account, shame on everyone who upvoted this blatant nazi. Shit like this gives legitimacy to Israel’s crocodile tears.
