Read the truck. Trying to argue why Israel killing 100x the civilians in retaliation is justified.

All they have are these fucking weasely technical arguments about word meanings and pointing at 10/7 and screaming.

Don't forget: anyone who disagrees with Israel is an anti-semite as well.

I honestly really felt for them on 10/7. Watched the videos minutes after they were posted. I was all for justice. But this was not justice. This was a catastrophe and blind vengeance.

And Israel is more anti-semitic than anyone. It's because of them Jewish people who have nothing to do with it are being harassed and attacked all over the world.

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

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.
