    What Israel is doing is abhorrent and should be roundly condemned. That does not justify antisemitism. Jews are not all Israelis and Israelis are not all Jews.

      Of course, I just have seen for many years the criticism of Israel shut down quickly by claiming someone was antisemitic. The message this post was about, talking about ‘Jews’ is clearly antisemitic, I didn’t mean to imply it was cool or that antisemitism wasn’t prevalent. What I was trying to critique was the OP’s idea that the calling for a humanitarian ceasefire was inspiring further radicalization and antisemitism, which is ridiculous.
