Regular reminder that Jewish people, as a whole, cannot be blamed for what the #Netanyahu regime is doing in #Gaza / #Palestine. Most Jewish people cannot vote in #Israeli elections, do not have influence over that government, and overwhelmingly dislike Netanyahu himself. Even in israel, we see a chunk of the population openly protesting what is happening: support is not unanimous there. Even then, the majority of support is coming from anger and fear, not some innate desire to carry out #genocide.
Blaming Jewish people, as a whole, for what a group of extremists are doing in #Palestine is not only as absurd as people blaming #Palestinians, as a whole, for what Hamas did, it is counterproductive to the greater movement, where Jewish voices are the most effective ones.
Antisemitism is no more a winning argument than #islamophobia, and neither are really appropriate or civil discourse.
Stop blaming entire groups for the actions of a few members.

@Raccoon Plenty of polls show that Israel citizens overwhelmingly support their governments actions. In fact some polling shows they want their government to do more.
So I would say it’s fair to openly criticize Israeli citizens.

But it's not all of them, and the reasoning behind it, along with what those polls are actually showing is far more complicated than "Israelis are all genocidal for no reason."
40% support Relief efforts. That 40% is likely not in favor of giving aid to people they want dead.
In general though, my point here is that the antisemitism is inappropriate and ineffective.
