Is criticism of Israel antisemitic?

116. No!

You can criticize Israel’s policies without being anti-Semitic and anyone who says you can’t is an idiot.

Story time: I was working (actually running that morning) a homeless breakfast and someone donated a box of bacon. I started cooking it and unbeknownst to me, two ladies I was working with said they would not cook or serve it because they were Jewish. I told them “You’re not eating it - they are - what’s the problem?”.

I was then accused of being Anti-Semitic for not respecting their religion. Told them I had as much respect for their religious beliefs as I did Christians and Muslims - none! So maybe I’m an anti-Semite but I’m also anti-Muslim and anti-Christian. So either cook the bacon or leave the griddle and go find something else to do because I didn’t have time for this nonsense.

So the popular opinion here seems to be that you CAN criticize Israel but you better not criticize Judaism to which I say - fuck that. That religion is as fucked up as any and all the rest. I’ll criticize where I feel it’s deserved.
