Oh no, the same political body that enthusiastically supported the genocide of an entire continent, allowed wholesale theft of indigenous lands, legalized ownership and enslavement of human beings, persecuted people of my same political persuasion, and authorized and pursued wars that killed millions for no reason other than profits…. dares to label my criticism of a racist, genocidal apartheid state antisemitic?! Oh no, whatever will I do.
I guess on the plus side, I don’t know anyone under 45 - regardless of ideology - who thinks speaking out against Israel is anything close to antisemitism, so all this does is further delegitimize the US government in the eyes of young people, so that’s good.
