    And it should also be understood that treating any ethnic group or whatever as a monolith, as if they all believe the same thing or that they should believe the same thing is racism or in this case anti-Semitism. Israel does not and never has represented the interests or desires of all Jews in the world and anyone who suggests that it does or that Jews who don’t support or even oppose Israel are “bad Jews” is, by definition, an anti-Semite. And I’m not gonna sit around and police the language of Jews towards other Jews, that isn’t my place at all, BUT I will fucking absolutely police the language of non-Jews who are accusing fellow non-Jews and also Jews of antisemitism for opposing Israel or simply being pro-Palestinian. It’s important to remember that many of those not so far on the left don’t even oppose Israel as a state- they just don’t want people to be bombed. And yet it doesn’t matter. You don’t suck the boot? Must hate Jews. It’s disgusting beyond words really. The cynical nature of the accusations, the apparent indifference from Zionists towards actual anti-Semites like Ritchie Torrez (dipshit in NY, spelling might be wrong, don’t care) who have been out calling anti-Israel Jews “bad Jews” essentially. Zionists have cynically employed the Holocaust and real, legitimate historical and ongoing anti-Semitism as a justification and a gag against criticism of their settle colonial state for so long now that it has done the inevitable outcome and gone from being shitty rhetoric used to shut leftists up to actually empowering real legitimate anti-Semites like Torrez to go out and finger wag at Jewish people(!) telling THEM that THEY can’t oppose Israel! Like in what fucking world does he have the balls??? It’s so absurd and beyond the pale and no one in power is calling him out for it. I’m legitimately losing my mind.
