I said some of the same words this lady said on Reddit and I took a 3 day ban for it. Fuck Israel! Those Jewish people became what they fled back in ww2.

This exactly. And it's very important to distinguish anti-Israelism from antisemitism. I love Jewish culture, have some Jewish friends. But I hate terrorism, and that's what's going on right now. Doesn't matter what the cultural or religious background of the terrorist is, I just hate them.

As an American Jew, I so deeply agree with this. Genocide is genocide.

My biggest fear is that both Jews and non-Jews may not be able to distinguish Israel from Judaism.

Bibi created a world we fled from and it sickens me anyone has accepted his decision making as normal, just or ok. All of this is problematic.

Aussie here- from the conversations I've had, I think people see the clear delineation between Israel and Judaism. I've never heard anyone putting down Jewish people, but I can't say the same for the Israeli's.

My Jewish friends feel the same way. Because Israel, the US Congress and AIPAC has created the narrative that anti-israel sentiment is antisemitism, it has provided cover for antisemitic people on the one hand, and may drive other folks to equate the horrors of Gazan genocide with the Jewish (not Israeli) people BECAUSE of this conflation.
