A while back, Labour was accused by a number of individuals and organisations to have a culture of anti-semitism, largely as a result of then leader Jeremy Corbyn's long standing support of the Palestinian people and criticism of Israel.

Although there was never really any discovery of widespread anti-semitism found (or anything beyond a few individuals) the pro- zionist lobby is so loud and has such clout in the media that they were forced to undertake a sort of exorcism with people expelled from the party (though not from Parliament) and some policies and internal investigation bodies setup to try and stop it.

Now we've reached the point that the party is so tainted by the idea that they're all a bunch of raving anti-semites that anything that suggests the government is in any way favouring anything over Israel or making any form of criticism of the country is leapt on by their critics and there's a fresh whirlwind of "Starmer hates the Jews".

Even Farage has realised this and constantly bashes the government for being anti-semitic and hating Israel to the point where even the nazis in this country chant pro- Israeli slogans.

It's not just the UK. Statements from Netanyahu, Israel as a whole, and pro-Israel groups constantly portray any and all criticism of Israel as anti-semitism.

I'd say it's worse than that. If someone looks at a protest opposing genocide and they take from that that they're antisemitic, then they're essentially starting from a position of "Jews = genociders" which is pretty fucking antisemitic.

Yup. It really is that simple.

ah so you're ok with jews being confused with zionists
