Criticism of the actions of Israel's government does not make one an antisemite.

So glad to see this sentiment supported on beehaw. It's a shame that people equate the two.

Cool so I respond to an antisemite saying that Israel refusing to supply power to a state that just declared war on it is punitive, and your response was to say it’s Israel’s fault.

i mean, yeah. Netanyahu is saying he's going to basically reduce Gaza to rubble when 99% of Gazans are innocents and can't leave Gaza because Israel is blockading them. Israeli bombs have killed far more innocents than actual terrorists in the Strip as seen in my citation. this is the exact behavior that allows Hamas to thrive. Israel, as a state, has the power to not do this and to seek more productive options—but does it anyways because it simply doesn't care about the humanity of Palestinians and considers all of them acceptable collateral damage in killing Hamas members.

Name-calling (accusing someone of being an antisemite) is NOT nice. We have one rule, here at Beehaw, to be(e) nice. This is your only warning. Enjoy your seven day vacation from Beehaw.

This take is braindead enough that you should probably delete your account. That shit is just straight up embarrassingly bad.
