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.

I'm not seeing that at all. What I'm seeing is a small group of people pushing bigotry and broad-stroke hatred into a conversation that needs to be about the needs of people, and stopping the individuals who are actively threatening them.
As a moderator, it's not my place to enforce any specific view on political policies, but if someone is saying that any group "deserves" to be targeted for violence simply because of where they were born or who their ancestors were, be they Jewish OR Palestinian, that IS Hate Speech, and I encourage any moderator who sees it to treat it as such.
