Antisemitism in the media and academia being highlighted is an unalloyed good. Orgs like BLM Chicago posting Nazi-level takes is positive. People are seeing that the snakes they’ve cultivated bite them too

I like how Reuters correctly fact checked a video showing a different concert than the one that was attacked. It is important that a news organization answer a question like “how many people in this video were killed?” with a summary of people that were killed in other unrelated videos

Reuters is extremely anti-semitic. They regularly down play the way Hamas stores rockets in schools and hospitals, and misappropriates aid in Gaza

  Forgive me here, I'm not close to the topic - if the latter is true, why is that anti-semitic? It feel the premise may be anti-Israeli, but I think it would be mistaken to conflate being Isreali with being Jewish. I'm sure there's a significant overlap, but there are non-Jewish Isrealis, and non-Isreali Jews. I'm also under the impression that many oppose Israel not on religious grounds, but political and ideological grounds.

    I reject that argument because it is a Jewish state, founded in the wake of the holocaust, attacked for being Jewish in the first days of its creation. For better or worse, It is inseparable. In fact, if you go to Palestine, they do not speak of "Israelis" but of "Jews". Spilling Jewish blood, killing Jews, a curse upon the Jews, etc. You see this with hate crime on synagogues and Jewish homes, Jewish individuals, business world wide a response to what happened in Israel and Palastine. If your enemies do not make such a distinction, then why should you? It only obscures and confuses what is pretty clear.

      Your argument is not convincing in the least. Are all the Jewish people who criticize Israeli policies anti-Semitic as well? Being against apartheid and for the implementation of UN resolutions doesn't mean one hates the Jewish people.
