8. If people are becoming more antisemitic that's on them

Netanyahu can suck, the actions of the current Israeli government can suck, and you can avoid being antisemitic. If you let anger or even hatred of a part of a group cause you to hate the entire group, that's a thing you need to address within yourself. Maybe go to therapy or something.
