When black churches are being shot up, that is not an appropriate time to criticize Uganda's action as a country.
When South Americans are being detained in cages at the border, that is not an appropriate time to criticize Venezuela's action as a country.
When Muslims are experiencing intense Islamophobia, that is not an appropriate time to criticize Syria's action as a country.
I love this absolutely brilliant smokescreen. I'm going to use it. Thank you.
Of course plenty of criticism of Israel is valid and not anti-Semitic.
It is also true that plenty of anti-Semites love to criticize Israel.
It's also true that a vast number of them are false accusations used by Israeli racists to quash criticism of the apartheid system within Israel.
Politicians who criticize Israel legitimately are always subjected to this.
