      The thing is that antisemitism is as present as it has been for the last 2000 years since jews have been treated worse in the Christian Roman Empire but the language has changed since the end of the Third Reich often replacing jews with Israel for example.

      The conspiracy that says the Mossad released Covid is the same old lie that jews poisoned wells and started the black death in a different costume, as an example.

      I’m not saying you are an antisemit, I’m just saying it’s so deep in our society that we often don’t realise it.

      And for me, pivoting to Israel instantly when another country does something bad is part of it.

        I understand what you are saying but respectfully disagree with your position that calling out Israel’s bad behavior is antisemitic. If they quit doing what they are doing, then they wouldn’t be used as an example.
