In reply to the discussion: Is Bibi currently turning people more anti-Semitic. [View all]ABC123Easy
(303 posts)25. Maybe some people are unfortunately becoming antisemitic.
However, opposing the criminal, racist, genocidal, Netanyahu and the current Israeli governing body, especially scum like Smotrich, IS NOT antisemitism. Just like opposing Trump isn't anti-christian or anti-american.
I support the regular people of Israel. The ones who oppose what their government has done in Gaza and now Lebanon. I have to think that makes up the vast majority of the people. Just like we here oppose our criminal government in power now.

Are you strongly opposed to Trump? If so, does that make you anti-American?

Criticism of Netanyahu and Israels war tactics is not antisemitism. There is more criticism and less support

His conflation of Israel and Jewish people is a great disservice to Jewish people.
