    Criticising Israel and calling out their apartheid state does not make somebody antisemitic.

      Pretty sure that was part of the point I was making considering I’m the one who called Israel an apartheid state.

      On larger websites, with more “normies,” you have more Nazis who are looking to use valid critiques of Israel as a gateway to pushing anti-Semitism. It’s purposeful by using dogwhistles and long forgotten racist iconography and imagery. It gives people who want to give a valid critique of Israel and it’s policies a bad name, and thus a lot of people jump down your throat assuming you’re arguing in bad faith on places like reddit.
