    “They hate Israel because they hate Jews” is a strong accusation. Hating Jews usually doesn’t decide foreign policy.

        Seems like most non-European nations didn’t care about Jews until they stole Israel.

        That would make them anti-Zionist, not anti-Semetic.

        I know it’s important for you people to conflate the two, though. Thankfully this generation isn’t quite as stupid as the last one when it comes to your propaganda.

        Like the whole field of antisemitic Zionism, yes. “It’s fine if Jews get to live just don’t do it here”.

      But if you treat Israel different to other states in your foreign policy, thats antisemitic.

        So the fact that we treat Israel differently than we treat Russia, which we treat differently than Italy, which we treat differently than Peru, is all antisemitism?

          Yes.

          Btw: why would you treat Russia different to Italy? If Italy commits human rights violation to the same degree as Russia and Israel do, I would expect you to condemn Italy and Peru the same way.
