@Remittancegirl likewise you can criticize the hell out of Netanyahu as a govt official and the actions of his govt and that is not an attack on Jews.

@Remittancegirl @Nonya_Bidniss Hear hear. I have thought for many years that the whole "if you criticise the Israeli government you're antisemitic" message is itself antisemitic - deliberately conflating politics and religion makes Jews globally "responsible" for the political actions of a single government. But it's a fine line and unfortunately avoiding it entirely has made many people unable to distinguish at all.

@Flisty @Remittancegirl @Nonya_Bidniss sometimes the point is more subtle than that. Like: maybe it's antisemitic to hold Israel to a different standard than any other country wrt how it is allowed to defend itself.
