What the fuck is with these comments.

Jewish people outside of Israel (citizens of other countries) are not equal to the Israeli government. They have no say and no control over what the Israeli government does. They are not connected.

Jewish 20 year olds going to college in the USA do not deserve to be attacked for simply...being Jewish (see Tulane University events). And so on.

Attacking Jewish people worldwide for the actions of the Israeli government is pure antisemitism, plain and simple, and needs to be called out and condemned.

Conflating the Israeli government, and the Israeli military, with the Jewish ethnicity, and the Jewish religion, is proving to be bad for overall PR when the government, and the military, are doing things that are vastly unpopular globally. Like apartheid

Criticalness of Israel is not hatred of Jews. Any attack on someone based on their nationality should be a hate crime (including illegal immigrants at the USA Southern border). Walking past a protest and being offended by their message isn't being attacked. Israel is way over the line and has historically been looking for reasons to absorb the Gaza strip into their control.

I don't get why people hate that particular religion so much.

Me, I would do away with all religions, I think they're all nonsense invented to control people or as a way to escape from reality, but that doesn't mean I'd ever hate a religion or go to wild lengths to genocide it's followers.

People who think there's a magical man in the sky are a bit batty, but people who persecute others just for believing in magical sky men are truly off their rockers.

It seems pretty clear a large percentage of the human race associates the actions of any members within an ethnic group as an action by the entire ethnic group. Not 100% culpable, but maybe 60% to 30% depending on age and gender.

Antisemitism sucks. So does relentless zionism. Stop accusing all jewish people of being militaristic zionists. Stop comparing Israel to jews. Israel doesn't represent all jews. Saudi Arabia doesn't represent all muslims. Russia doesn't represent all orthodox christians. Being anti Israel doesn't make you antisemitic. Being antisemitic doesn't make you anti Israel. Don't confuse the two. One can cherish jewish people, culture, history and be anti Israel to whatever extent. I'm partly jewish and don't support Israel for example.

This is yet another reason why why ANY theocracy, of any denomination, is incompatible with modernity.

Not only does it limit the citizenry's representation in terms of beliefs and cultural shifts incompatible with the faith within, it creates a common enemy for idiotic, ancient deity dick measuring squabbles from the outside.

I respect a person's right to pray to whatever pokemon they want. Charizard, Yahweh, Mr. Mime, Allah, whoever speaks to your soul or whatever. I don't respect any person's right to use the pokemon they pray to as a rational to limit the rights of anyone else for any reason, ok you super serious Pokemon Masters?

Israel isn't some great line of defense for the Jews, it's a massive, singular target for the other idiot theocracies in the region that they hate and hate them back to attack, great choice of location by the way if you wanted to feel safe.

Israel is basically the geopolitical equivalent of what John McClain was coerced to do in Harlem in Die Hard 3, only for Israel it was a choice.

Way to easy to paint any criticism about Israel as hatred towards Jews. Lobby groups with big money define the limits of the discourse.

Antisemitism was never gone but just hidden away.

This is despicable in every way. Not surprising, but despicable. There's absolutely no rationale for being anti-semitic in any way shape or form. NONE. I've even asked on every forum, what the hell is behind anti-semitism, and why do people wallow in such muck? And I never get any good answer. Because there is none that doesn't reveal the inane childish bigotry of the responder. There is no more corrupt evil than the sick hatred of other human beings for any reason. That is as low, perverse, and filthy as humans can possibly get.
