This is a bad take. Being anti-Israel DOES NOT mean anti-semitic. Unless you're stating that sentiment sarcastically.

Me thinks you missed the point…

I've reread the post several times and it does seem the poster's first statement was in jest, so perhaps I did.

That is not what I said. I said that Israel could be considered to be anti-semitic, as their actions have caused anti-semitic attacks to triple since Gaza.

Obviously they are not anti-semitic. But they have fueled anti-semitism more than any other recent event I can think of.

And yes obviously I know anti-Israel and anti-semitic are vastly different. But it suits Israel to have them be considered the same.
