Zionism is a mental illness
From reading the article:
Could it be the actual mental illness is this sort of anti semetism that makes some people treat any legitimate thing Israeli people do as an evil conspiracy or war crime?
Israel frequently claims settlements as “Israeli” land. There is no reason to trust them when they’ve lied consistently for decades.
They claim the land as Israeli, as opposed to what country?
It's Palestinian land. How many times do we have to tell you?
Also how is one not a racist when one dehumanizes Palestinians simply because one supports Israel (who wants them all dead or gone)?
If we ever met in person, would you dehumanize me this way and deny me the right to self determination or any human rights?
People using the anti-semitic jibe when Israel is criticized are invariably Racists.
They're both they're presuming that "all Jews are the same" (a pure racist way of thinking) hence they all agree to be represented by Israel and with its acts (even though plenty of people who are Jews have said otherwise, so this prejudiced presumption goes against easilly found evidence), and hence criticism of Israel is critcism of the Jewish religion (i.e. anti-semitism) and because they're demanding that acts should be judged differently depending on the religion of those who commit them as should the response of others: they're demanding that people refrain from critizing things like land theft, murder and, more recently genocice, when such act are commited by Jews.
Non-racists just look at the actions of a group (specifically the successive governments of the nation of Israel and wrll as a significant portion of its civil society) and judge them on the merites and demerits of said acts quite independently of the etnicity of the perpetrators and victims.
