    Opposing apartheid in any context is not antisemitic. Conflating criticism of oppression and occupation as condemning an entire religion is extremely obtuse. Surely you’re not that fucking dense.

      I don’t know why you have to resort to insults. You’re the second person to insult me and I am not really sure why since I only said I’m concerned about anti sentism.

      I also beleive Israel has the right to exist and be secure. This is not controversial. Most of the western world officially takes this position. If you want to insult me for that, then I guess go ahead.

        The nation of Israel solely exists as a Jewish ethnostate propped up by the western imperialist countries (initially the British Government) after the Nakba of 1948, displacing over 700k Palestinians in a trail-of-tears-esque forced removal from their land. Since then, the Israeli Government has controlled every aspect of Palestinians’ lives such as electricity, drinkable water 97 percent of which is toxic, IDF checkpoints to get to and from different enclosed sections of their own land, etc. The oppressive regime of Israel and the apartheid it imposes on Palestinians is funded heavily by countries like the US, which sends billions every year to support this far-right fascist ethnostate.

        The most disturbing thing aside from 70 years of oppression, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing is language that you are repeating justifying genocide that is taking place right now. You think an ethnostate has the right to exist at the expense of ethnic cleansing? So did Nazi Germany. If criticizing Isreal’s atrocities for the past 70+ years offends you, then imagine how offended the families of the 17,000+ Palestinian civilians slaughtered by the IDF in the past couple months alone must feel.

        I don’t care if geriatric dinosaurs in power like Joe Biden have supported Israel their entire lifetime. It’s wrong. It is pure evil to fund genocide, it is pure evil to fund apartheid, and the only solution forward is a secular one-state solution in a similar fashion to the ending of apartheid in South Africa. It may never happen in my lifetime, but it starts with ceasefire and continues by ending financial ties to war crimes, a tall order for Americans.

          That won’t happen with Hamas in charge. They are literal terrorists. Their entire purpose is to kill Jews, even at the cost of their own people. Maybe you think the attacks on Israel are justified. I do not.

            “Palestinians of all ages are all terrorists and they must be exterminated by the IDF. The slaughter of 17,000+ Palestinian civilians since Oct 7th is actually justified.”

            Yeah fuck off, nazi.

            I do not condone attacks on civilians no matter who the target is. Stop using one tragedy to justify another.
