If criticizing Israel is the de facto definition of antisemitism, maybe antisemitism isn't as bad as i though?
- ars 13y agoCriticizing Israel is the de facto symptom of antisemitism. It's the "socially accepted" version. Because, rarely it really is just criticizing of Israel - but that's rare. So people claim "I'm also one of the rare ones".

It's very easy to find something to criticize Israel for, so I don't understand this reasoning. Either you want to stop all conversations that are any bit negative about Israel, or your honestly believe that everyone is an antisemite.
- ars 13y agoI did not say everyone - I said it's rare. Sure, if you go specifically looking for something to criticize you'll find it. But you'll find that most of the people who criticize Israel are obsessed with Israel, who focus only on Israel, and don't care about any other county. Their true motives are pretty obvious.
