(292 posts)is either blissfully ignorant of what the word means OR they know full well what it actually means and are just intentionally misusing the word to slur Israel. Only they know which but it's definitely one or the other.
My eyes have really been opened here lately. Never would have believed that so much thinly veiled antisemitism would surface here. But you can easily see it.
You can see it in the intentional over statement of reality using words like genocide to describe any defense Israel has made of itself.
You can see it in the condemnation of Israel for attacking a target in a civilian area but never any condemnation of Hamas for hiding in those areas.
You can see it in the blind acceptance and regurgitation here of statistics provided by Hamas despite the fact that their information has been repeatedly exposed as utter bullshit.
You can see it in the attempt to defend crowds chanting shit like "From the River to the Sea" as just being pro-Palestinian protesters when that phrase is a well-known and unmistakable call for the total eradication of Israel and all it's people.
Then when people point out these obvious and ugly facts they leap behind the phrase, "So any criticism of Israel makes me antisemitic" as a shield. Followed by the same intentionally obtuse act.
These folks aren't as clever as they think, and they aren't fooling most people here.
