When the international criminal court issued arrest warrants for Israeli officials in November, the response from the country’s government was all too familiar. The prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, rejected outright the warrants for alleged war crimes in Gaza against him and the former defence minister Yoav Gallant, calling them “an antisemitic decision”. The ultranationalist national security adviser, Itamar Ben-Gvir, declared that the court had shown “once again that it is antisemitic through and through”. And the transport minister, Miri Regev, chimed in, claiming: “This is modern antisemitism in the guise of justice.”

      Your grandparents oppression doesn’t give you the right to genocide others. If you’re Jewish and not genociding others, then you’re not being talked about here.

      Israel in it’s current state must be dismantled and given back to the people.

      Emphasis mine. Who’s that generic “you” in your comment?

      I’m asking because, in this context, it reads like “critics of the war”, so it implies “criticising the war is to act like a Nazi”, something blatantly false.

      An example of folks who changed the meaning of Apartheid to "inequality in places I don’t like, " and Genocide to “any war I don’t like” now clutching their pearls over the purity of language. I don’t like how the term antisemitisn has been abused, but I also don’t like the hypocrisy of people who are fine with weaponizing sensitive language when it suits them.

        Apartheid and Genocide have clear meanings both of which Israeli actions against Palestinians are textbook examples of.
