we need to throw this idea that we can’t criticize the Israeli government right out the window.
their government is not a representation of the Jewish people as a whole.
when they do crazy things like elected nutjobs that like to get on their soapbox and say things like children that throw stones should be executed has nothing to do with being Jewish.
I mean theyre violently taking land from one ethnic group and giving it to another. Ya. Apatheid. Israel needs support and protection. But not for this.

Operating under the definition of antisemitism by the [International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance](https://www.holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definitions-charters/working-definition-antisemitism):
>“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
Too vague. To make things simple, if [the UN says it’s apartheid](https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/03/1114702), it’s fucking apartheid.
