    If anything were to cause antisemitism, it’d be the frequent gaslighting about antisemitism.

    I guess that would be one of the main causes, if you just ignore the actual mass-slaughtering of civilians…

    Of course antisemitism (ie. hatred towards Jews) has absolutely nothing to do with either supporting or opposing the nation of Israel (its existence in general, and the crimes perpetrated by its current government in particular), and even less has antisemitism to do with recognizing Palestine or not.

    Those poor neo-nazis whose delicate sensibilities are torn between their antisemitism and their sympathy for the Israeli government (which I guess are the only ones who still listen to Netanyahu’s lies?) can rest easy: the two sentiments are perfectly compatible.
