Let’s be clear, comments critical of the Israeli government are NOT anti-Semitic. In fact, there are plenty of Jews who are critical of the Israeli regime.

The above comment appears to be conflating criticism of the Israeli government with the Jews as a race/religion.

We all know how these arguments ultimately end up attacking the jew as a race/religion as a whole. These comments, indeed, are antisemtic- however nuanced. The "international jew" question is one that has somehow transitioned into anything related in the slightest to Jewish influence in the government of the US. If someone were to say, "Hitler did nothing wrong" would that be true? No! He lost, the only thing he did wrong was lose. This kind of twisted logic is where these arguments targeting any supposed influence of a Jewish controlled power structure arise when events like these undoubtedly, and likely eventually occur. So you will excuse me if I don't want to go down that path. Anti-semetism is not acceptable and the most shameful expression of ignorance one can pro-pound in this day and age.

Do we “all know” that?

Meanwhile, you created an account just now to reply to this.

Please try and be less transparent in the future.

This has gone so far off the rails. Dear lord…

>Anti-semetism is not acceptable

Agree.
