    Hi. Jewish person here. Thinking Israel as a fascist regime is not antisemitic. Its just… Looking at what they’re doing and assessing it for what it is

      I think we should not go down that rabbit hole. In the war between Israel and Gaza both sides did and do horrible things. Deciding which of the two sides is more evil is just not helping anybody.

        Not saying either side is more evil right now. I’m just saying Israel is a fascist state. Because they are. This is something I’ve been saying since before I knew about Palestine. Israel is a fascist state. They have done nothing in the last 20 years to convince me they deserve to be seen in another light. They have every aspect of Umberto Ecco’s ur-fascism

          Ok then. I have no knowledge in that regard, so I won’t disagree 😅 In my ears “fascist” is usually including nazis (I am from Germany, so for me these 2 words have a “special bond” so to speak)

      That’s nither what i said nor what i meant, criticism of Netanjahu is absolutely legit, but starting free Palestinia protests a day after 7. October is antisemitism. I didn’t say that Israel didn’t do anything wrong, i just said that many woke spectrum people believe that Israel has no right to defend itself and that these people come with arguments like “Palestine doesn’t have a iron dome” or just straight up support hamas.

      Criticism of the faschistoid Israeli government isn’t Israel hate.

      However i must say that a singular Jewish person doesn’t decide whats antisemitism and not and that a single person doesn’t speak for a entire ethnicity. I understand your point though.
