Antisemitism and Zionism aren’t mutually exclusive. Zionism != Judaism.

It's really quite simple, he endorsed a post that blamed NON-Israeli Jews for being attacked outside of Israel due to Gaza. Specifically this one: https://twitter.com/breakingbaht/status/1724892505647296620 https://twitter.com/breakingbaht/status/1724892505647296620 This is racist, first because it's close to justifying violence against Jews, because of their religion, because of something a country did. Again, nobody would doubt "muslims deserve to be attacked because of what is happening in Sudan" is extremely racist. This is close to that. And let's please make one thing clear: physically attacking zionists, or justifying that, because of Gaza is also extremely racist. Secondly it's accusing "those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country" (ie. muslim immigrants) of being violent racists. What DOESN'T matter is whether either of these are true behaviors seen in those groups. You're a racist if you say that either attacking Jews because of Israel is valid (obviously) and you're a racist if you say that muslim immigrants (even veiled) are antisemitic as a group. Saying SPECIFIC Jews are going too far, or SPECIFIC muslim immigrants are a serious piece of racist asshole is not racist.

  A post that blamed NON-Israeli Jews for being attacked outside of Israel due to Gaza. It was definitely a piece of obnoxious drivel, the post. But that's not what it said.
