Agreed, there is a legitimate way to criticize the Israeli government that isn't tied to race.

The antisemite says "They are monsters because they are Jews"

The anti-zionist says "They are monsters because they act inhumanely towards civilians"

The antisemitic anti-zionist says "They act inhumanely towards civilians because they need to gather precious child blood for their (((rituals)))"

But the problem here is that there are a FUCKTONNE of antisemites that want to hide in the crowds of the anti-zionists for ideological cover.

On the OTHER hand, I've never seen an anti-zionist hide in the crowds of the antisemites for ideological cover unless they also harbored racist misbeliefs.

It's pretty easy on the face to tell the difference, but even that level of nuance is beyond the understanding of so many people.
