Alcibiades

I feel like the world needs a basic primer on this:

Criticizing Netanyahu and the current government of Israel isn’t antisemitic.

Holding Jews everywhere responsible for the actions of the Israeli government and calling them N@zis is.

Supporting Palestinian rights isn’t antisemitic.

Saying Jews don’t deserve self-determination anywhere and that Israel has no right to exist is.

Advocating for peace, equality, and dignity for both peoples isn’t antisemitic.

Celebrating the murder, kidnapping, or r@pe of Jews is.

Being horrified by the suffering in Gaza isn’t antisemitic.

Denying or minimizing the suffering of Israelis on October 7 is.

Opposing specific Israeli policies isn’t antisemitic.

Using classic antisemitic tropes about Jewish power, money, blood, or control is.

Wanting an end to the war isn’t antisemitic.

Calling for the elimination of Israel while demanding no other nation on earth disappear is.

Criticizing Netanyahu isn’t antisemitic.

Saying “the Jews are Nazis” is.

Supporting Palestinian nationalism isn’t antisemitic.

Erasing Jewish indigeneity and history in the land is.

Calling out extremism in Israel — including the army — isn’t antisemitic.

Applying a moral standard to Israel that you apply to literally no other country is.

Wanting accountability for all sides isn’t antisemitic.

Attacking random Jews, synagogues, or Jewish businesses around the world is.

Feeling grief for Palestinian children isn’t antisemitic.

Mocking or dismissing or even celebrating dead Israeli children is.

Defending free speech on Israel-Palestine isn’t antisemitic.

Harassing Jewish students and making campuses unsafe for visibly Jewish people is.

Saying Palestinians deserve freedom isn’t antisemitic.

Saying Jews are “colonizers” is.

Calling for coexistence isn’t antisemitic.

Calling for intifada “from the river to the sea” without acknowledging what that means to many Jews is.

You can oppose war without opposing the existence of a people.

You can advocate for Palestinians without dehumanizing Jews.

You can love Israelis and Palestinians enough to believe neither should have to bury their children.

Let them have a fucking break 🙏
