Antisemitism is hatred of Jews.Criticizing Israel’s government is not.
Conflating the two is a manipulation tactic. It silences critics and strips the word of meaning. What gets silenced is the debate over wars, and over the American money and weapons that keep them going. If you can’t question that without being called a Jew-hater, you don’t get a say. This records who does it, when, and how, so you can spot it instantly.
“If we don't get out of the false binary on Israel (you're either pro-Israel or anti-semite) the next generation will continue becoming more antagonistic to Israel…”
