(54,053 posts)I am so SICK of this bullshit argument.
" I can't believe this has to be said again, but...." supporting Israel doesn't mean supporting EVERY and ALL actions. Some criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic and should be called out when it is. Some people just can't help themselves to CONSTANTLY claim "victimization" when they aren't; like the ones who pop into ANY thread about Israel and, in some cases, the first (or first few comments), feel the need to claiming they aren't anti-Semitic, when NO ONE has said ANYTHING.
So, "I can't believe this has to be said again, but...." being pro-Israel isn't the same as being racist or Islamophobic. Calling Hamas and its supporters terrorists, ISN'T indicative of lack of support for the Palestinian people. Just because someone is related to or once encountered a Jew is nothing more than a "some of my best friends" argument, and if that is already being spun out, well, ask yourself why.
Oh and here is something crazy, how's about NOT telling Jews what is and isn't anti-Semitic, ESPECIALLY if you (general use) are one of those who bellow about "mansplaining" and "whitesplaining". Maybe try not to "gentilesplain'".
