    There’s a big difference between being against Israel and being antisemitic, and people need to see that. Heck, I’m literally Jewish and I don’t support Israel.

      And, as I’ve heard someone else point out - isn’t it literally anti-Semitic to assume that Jews and Israelis are, like, the same thing? And/or that Israel is, like, the global mouthpiece for Jews everywhere? Seems a bit reductive, to me… Seems on the same level as thinking the leader of Kenya, or Nigeria, or any African nation speaks for Black people everywhere.

      Netanyahu isn’t the Emperor of Jews!

        Wouldn’t it be more like “king of the Jews”? Btw, does anyone know where I can get a large cross and nails? Asking for a friend.

    I don’t get the name calling.

    I support Israel right to defend itself (and by logic, Hamas will defend as well), but fully acknowledge challenging the methods, actions and propaganda of each side.

    This is a conflict, there is enough shit going around - we don’t need to bring religion into this. Call out shit people, call out bias, and absolutely call out people who think they can hide behind religion.

    (Love the meme, great not seeing the same repeated crap).

      Zionists pretending to be both sides moderates is truly hilarious.

      Consider making a new account instead of the one you used to shill for 6 months straight

        If you truly think Hamas is not as bad or worse than Israeli counter-actions, you should reflect on your own beliefs. In this conflict, the military wings of both sides ARE deplorable and deserve universal condemnation. Hamas’s goal is the eradication of Jews; any benefit to the Palestinians under their thumb is accidental at best. If you support Hamas, you support genocide. If you support the IDF’s actions, you support genocide. Full stop.

    This reminds me of republicans in early 2000s equating bashing on the Iraq war with not supporting the troops.
