This IS a big deal. People need to understand that criticizing the appalling actions of the Israeli government is not anti-Semitism. No more so than criticizing the appalling actions of the Third Reich is anti-white.

If someone was sexually abused as a child, and grew up to be a serial rapist, you wouldn't say, "that's ok, you were a victim, so it's all fine, keep on doing your thing..." Would you? Having been persecuted does not give anyone carte blanche to persecute others.
The current Israeli government is oppressing, mistreating, and killing people based on their ethnicity. That is wrong. Full stop. They have one of the most powerful military forces in the world. They have a huge economy. They receive unquestioning support from most of...
the Western world. Guilt is a powerful thing. But there is no excuse for the way Palestinians are being treated. The arbitrary creation of Israel stole land from the Palestinians. The Israeli government over the decades have stolen more land, displaced people, murdered them.
It has to stop. WWII ended 76 years ago. The Palestinians were not fighting on the German side. There is no supportable reason or excuse for the behaviour of the Israeli government. This is not anti-Semitism. This calling out human rights abuses.
Because the world should not complacently stand by and watch while people's lives are destroyed by state-sanctioned, ideologically-driven violence. And it doesn't matter who is doing the atrocities. There is no excuse.
