T.S. Eliot was a complicated figure.
Yes, he had some antisemitic characters in his writing, does that make him the same as Tom Sawyer, who protected and befriended a Black man while cursing abolition?
Or, does that make Eliot the same as that other author?

Eliot actually financed the rescue and escape of more than a few Jews from Nazi controlled Europe. Eliot had Jewish friends who clearly stood up for him and defended him.

Eliot, to be sure, also said some rather unfortunate things, which he seems to have regretted, in later life.

Good thing they have some nukes. I hope their Army is in better shape than it was in Lebanon.

The powers which stand looking on, without taking measures to prevent the crime, will one day be themselves visited by severe punishment."

Any nation that comes to Israel's aid will be blessed by God, as America has been ever since the American colonists welcomed persecuted European Jews to North America 2-1/2 centuries ago. But any nation that goes against the nation of Israel is writing it's own obituary. I fully expect the closet muslim in the White House to turn America, or at least the US government if not the people, against Israel, and nothing else he could do would be as destructive to America as that will be.

Some even purport to champion opposition to genocide by abiding chants like "Hamas! Hamas! All Jews to the gas!"

When they're not busy denying that the gas chambers ever existed.

THAT'S WHY The New York Times published Pat Oliphant's cartoon featuring a gigantic, headless, sword-wielding, goose-stepping, uniformed fiend wheeling a razor-fanged Star of David that threatens to run down a tiny, defenseless Gazan woman and baby.

I look forward to the day when the Israelis balance their blood accounts. The muzzies deserve the calamity they earned.

This also goes for Weizmann’s warning to Anthony Eden: “The fire from the synagogues may easily spread to Westminster Abbey... If a government is allowed to destroy a whole community which has committed no crime... it means the beginning of anarchy and the destruction of the basis of civilization. The powers which stand looking on, without taking measures to prevent the crime, will one day be themselves visited by severe punishment.”

What makes our times so chillingly similar to the era that conceived and tolerated the Holocaust is the broad social respectability accorded Jew-bashing. It matters little if the pretext is the fake ogre the Nazis called "International Judaism," or the state that the Jews established so they would never be defenseless again. What matters is that Jewish self-defense in the framework of the Jewish state is as assiduously demonized as was the nonexistent cabal of the Elders of Zion... The vulgar bigotry of thugs - whether brown-shirted and in hobnailed boots or skin-headed or keffiyeh-wrapped - was and is facilitated by the ideologically-honed vitriol

Accurate analysis, but the same piece - with the lone exception of the Oliphant cartoon - essentially could have been written twenty or more years ago. That shows that very little has changed with regard to the position of Israel and Jews in the world.
