Godwin's got an itch he can't scratch and doesn't know why.... "Encompassing the entire country" would be anti-zionist, not antisemitic. There is a huge difference, and that does not change because the majority of people in that country are a particular religion, just like it's not "Anti-Protestant" if someone attacks Great Britain policies, or "Anti-Hindu" if someone criticizes India. There is a difference, to the extent that there are plenty of jews who are anti-zionist. Would you like to accuse them of being antisemitic because "nearly every Israeli citizen is Jewish"? Also, it's your construct that criticizing the policies and actions of a country's military and government is "anti" that county...

> Also, it's your construct that criticizing the policies and actions of a country's military and government is "anti" that county... No, it's not—we're in a subthread where the OP said "Just a reminder that Snyk was founded by ex-IDF Unit 8200 soldiers. I would not trust them given what we've seen Israel do to supply chains." They took the country's current policy and made it personal against specific IDF vets. That's what I'm standing against. For the rest, I specifically said that it may not be antisemitic given that it's country-specific, so I'm not sure what you were getting at. I'm still not okay with blanket blaming an entire country's citizenry for its government actions. I wasn't okay with that when it came to Russia and Ukraine, I don't know why I should treat this differently now.
