@hesgen What isn't clear is whether it is actually antisemitism or antizionism.
Either way, abusing kinds is NOT good, but the distinction matters, especially given the move to conflate the two.

It may be down to how we define anti semitism

UK Government’s adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemitism

@Miro_Collas @hesgen

It is not anti-Semitic to criticise the Government of Israel, without additional evidence to suggest anti-Semitic intent.
It is not anti-Semitic to hold the Israeli Government to the same standards as other liberal democracies, or to take a particular interest in the Israeli Government’s policies or actions, without additional evidence to suggest anti-Semitic intent.

@zleap @hesgen I absolutely agree!
However, the Israeli gvt and various institutions supporting it, have accused people of antisemitism, though they only criticize the government. That's how Corbyn was "deposed".

@zleap @hesgen Yes exactly - plus how the charity mentioned, and the media uses the term as well.

@Miro_Collas @hesgen

Good point perhaps the media should use the same definition source so they are on the same page.

hang on that would be too much like common sense in 2024
