In reply to the discussion: Is blaming US Jews for Israel's policies anti-semitic? [View all]appmanga
(617 posts)12. I don't know if it's anti-Semitic...
...but it's weird and inaccurate to conflate the two. There are many Jews in this country who abhor what the Netanyahu government has done, and is doing, in Gaza. And they haven't been silent about it and agree that being critical of Israel doesn't mean someone is anti-Jewish or anti-Israel. Most people I speak to are strongly pro-Israel, but strongly disagree with what Netanyahu administration is doing in Gaza. That's where I stand as well.
