29. When you count saying Israel is commitining a genocide as well as being against Zionism antisemitism.

Then you will get a lot of numbers.
The whole being against Zionism equals antisemitism is ridiculous. Shoot, the concept of Zionism is ridiculous. Who else claims a right to live someplace they and their families have not lived in centuries? Do the descendants of Rome have a right to the land and to live in England? Do the Mexicans for California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas?

To be fair, that goes to Hamas as well EdmondDantes_ Jul 2025 #17
What is not understandable is how many people feel angry about Israel's actions and no one else's. Beastly Boy Jul 2025 #19
Except a sign saying "genocide is genocide" isn't Holocaust denialism and undercuts their claims. EdmondDantes_ Jul 2025 #31
