No. Bad news for free speech, “good news” for antisemitism.

TIL criticizing a government is exactly the same as being racist towards its whole nation.

I don’t think you are making anyone more empathetic towards your goal of killing civilians so you cna have even more stolen land.

Honestly, by now I think YOU can be blamed for anti semitism. By being a literal asswipe of a combo of fake religion, inbreeding and TERROR.

Im definitely not in favor of ho Israel does it but criticism of that was never forbidden, forbidden was to “question” Israels right to exist as a country. And doing that is indeed antisemitism

Oh and im anti theist in general. I want to abolish all religions because you can see what they do.

There is a fine line, however, restricting the ability to criticize genocide is not a good thing— unless people consider Palestinians as subhuman, subanimal, which we acknowledge some do.
