He and all the Israel critics are antisemitic.

It’s silly to pretend otherwise.

It’s more nuanced than just that. I support Israeli 100% in their right to exist, to defend themselves and to destroy HAMAS and perhaps even to absorb Gaza and kick the residents out. But, I was infuriated years ago by the Pollard incident. Pretty sure Epstein was also an operative. So, yeah, I support Israel when they aren’t messing with the USA.

This is correct. To be against the only Jewish country, when the Holocaust is still a living memory for some, and millions of others pine for Part II, is nothing less than antisemitism, no matter how people try to couch it in different terms. Israel is certainly not a perfect nation, but it has a right to exist - and the very goal of those who constantly criticize it is to soften its victories and to weaken its ability to defend the lives of its citizens. That is, in my mind, utterly inexcusable.

Israel can’t be criticized? What about freedom of speech?

Here is a criticism that I hold against the State of Israel: Israel denys the right of its citizens to keep and bear arms leaving them vulnerable to the savage depredations of its neighbors.

Is my criticism "antisemitic"?

Are we allowed to say Tel Aviv is a very bustling city for supporting the gay activity or are we to pretend otherwise and reserve any criticism?

Or maybe forget how the people were pretty much forced to take those covid vaxes?

Nobody is above criticism.
