Yes - that is not only my position, but. . .

. . . it's also that of most of the world.

Any criticism of Likud Israel gets placed in the "antisemitic" compartment of what passes for a brain in your head. Don't forget that these "worst atrocities" were aided and abetted by Israel itself killing their own citizens. I can see that it frustrates you no end that your shoot-from-the-hip "antisemitism" smear campaign doesn't seem to be working as much anymore.

As Caitlin Johnstone notes, "People are gradually becoming aware that accusations of anti-semitism are used by Israel apologists to stagnate and stifle support for Palestinian rights, and are beginning to take those accusations a lot less seriously. There's only so many times you can watch dishonest smear campaigns [on the part of the Israeli government] before you start to figure out that you're being manipulated."

"In fact actual anti-semites are some of Israel's strongest allies. The lion's share of forceful support for Israel in the United States comes not from Jews but from Christian Zionists who support Israel because they believe it will bring Jesus back so he can damn all non-Christians to eternal hellfire. Televangelist John Hagee, who believes Hitler was sent by God to help create Israel, had a prominent speaking spot at Tuesday's 'March for Israel' in Washington DC.

"While people who hate Jews so much they want them to writhe in eternal hellfire are warmly embraced as allies of convenience by Israel and its supporters, healthy [people] who oppose racism in all its forms are attacked by Israel apologists as Nazis and Jew-haters. This is because the actions [of Israel and its supporters] are not designed to protect Jews or reduce anti-semitism - their actions are to facilitate the strategic objectives of the Israeli government and its allies.

"What's happening in Gaza right now isn't about Jews or Judaism at all; it's about using violent force to take land and resources away from an indigenous population, as history has seen happen time and time again in situations that had nothing to do with Jews - and people who've noticed the same patterns in Israel that they've seen in all the other settler-colonial projects over the last 500 years are being shouted down and bullied into staying silent using some of the most unethical manipulations ever devised."

So, by all means, rattle on as much as you want about antisemitism, as today's version of the "Final Solution" plays out in Gaza! Your nutcase logic is now being seen for what it actually is - a lame attempt at intimidation. As for "stupid and heartless", I think that's more up your alley as you cheer on the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza.
