For me personally, it's how being critical of Israel being hate speech is the same logic (and often identical verbiage) as what they were using in the lead up to the Iraq war. You're either with us or with the terrorists

The idea that art should be apolitical is maddening. They should just put corporate instructional jingles over the speakers for people to take selfies for their Instagrams for Coachella. The outfits better not be shiny and revealing as that would be kind of political - let's make it business casual. Drugs are kind of political too, so it's just $25 beers.

It's actually the logic of the Japanese internment camps. The anti-Zionism=antisemitism" crowd are themselves violently antisemitic. They believe that Jews in America can't really be full Americans. They must always have some suspect ties and loyalty to Israel, simply due to their religion and ethnicity. Jews can't ever be truly American. From birth, regardless of their choices or character, they will always have fealty to a foreign power. This is literally Nazi logic.
