A 🧵 to DESTROY the claim that criticism of Israel equates to hatred of Jews as a people or Judaism as a religion - newsflash: It has NOTHING to do with anti-semitism! 🤦🏼♀️
In fact, some of the most passionate support for the Palestinian cause and harshest critique of Israel has come from Jews all around the world, DESPITE facing intimidation and abuse from fanatical Zionists! 👏🏻❤️
