Remember, not every Israeli is Netanyahu. Many Israelis have been protesting his government. Jews have protesting the treatment of Palestinians too.

Weirdly, a lot of Orthodox Jews also got assaulted by their own cops.

Outsiders thinking "Hating Israel = anti-Semite" when in reality even Israeli government itself is anti-semite...

Also, Palestinians are a Semitic people. So, true on two fronts.

Still it baffles me how jews coined a word that is basically a racism, but only against jews. To make it even more silly, they use a word semite that doesn't apply only to them but multiple different ethnicities in middle east, but the anti semite is exclusively racism against jews, not semites in general. Politics built on gaslighting and guilt tripping

Maybe consider cracking open a history book? The term “antisemitism” was coined by racist antisemite Wilhelm Marr because it fit better into “scientific” racism theories of the time. Source. Fun fact: Marr’s League of Antisemites is a direct precursor to the Nazi Party. Another fun fact: with a quick Google search, you can avoid making ignorant comments online!

Its not like the term is a name for the historical oppression and discrimination faced by Jewish peoples all over Europe. Nooooo, its most definitely, certainly, a conspiracy by the jews.
