It's obviously not all Jewish people, but there are unfortunately many Jewish communities who are very supportive of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Particularly in the US it's something that has allowed what is happening to continue almost exclusively unopposed. More generally the West has morally failed, so certainly not exclusive to any religion. That the term anti-Semitism is constantly used to deflect or tar those objecting to Israels mass killing of civilians really is equally offensive I would suggest.

> It's obviously not all Jewish people Really? Because the initial GP comment did not parameterize Jewish people which hold certain views. The GP comment just said, "How do Jewish people accept the genocide going on right now?" > That the term anti-Semitism is constantly used to deflect or tar those objecting to Israels mass killing of civilians really is equally offensive I would suggest. Ok? I nor anyone else at the time of this comment called the GP an anti-semite, so I am not sure why you feel compelled to mention this point. The entire point of my initial comment was to bring attention to the attempt to paint entire, non-monolithic group of people with such a large brush. If you want to argue about the rhetoric used in pro-Palestinian vs. pro-Israeli online-discourse, then I implore you to find another comment. I imagine there likely some in this very thread.

  On the first point of your reply I was agreeing with you, but also felt the need to expand to draw the distinction that a good many people of the Jewish faith actively defend the ongoing genocide and Israel. On your second point, my follow up comment on anti-Semitism being weaponised feels wholly appropriate in this context. If you can bring attention to something you feel is directly relevant to the conversation I'm not sure why you would not allow me to do the same.
