    Why do you think Israel positions itself as an ethnostate so? “Everything we do is Jewish because we’re an ethnostste with strict apartheid for non-Jews so if you criticize us it’s antisemitism!!”

    But the actions of Israel and its government are not the actions of Jews, they are the actions of Israel.
