First off, I am a bit torn here, but will take the opposing side for arguments sake.
This is not an opinion. The holocaust happened, that makes it a fact.
I get your point, but should disinformation (as in deliberate misinformation) be allowed? How much harm should we accept from people spreading disinformation before we do something? The harm here being antisemitism.
Antisemitism is growing because people do not differentiate Israel and Jewish people. Many jews report that they do not feel safe in otherwise safe countries.
This is a hard question. Not sure what I think… Might be side effects that are hard to foresee
Antisemitism is growing because people do not differentiate Israel and Jewish people.
This is also why definitions of antisemitism that include anything about Israel are extremely damaging. The term “antisemitism” should only be applicable when talking about people and never about governments.
Broadening the definition doesn’t help anyone, except for the state of Israel. But it does so at great expense to Jewish people.
