You can hold multiple things in your mind at once. "The Jews" are not Israel.

The idea that anti-semitism is somehow intrinsically tied to Palestine is historically and obviously false. While there's plenty of reasons to hate Israel for its actions on Palestine the history of pogroms, blood libel, genocide, expulsions, etc goes on centuries before there was ever a nation to hate in the first place.

so first of all, I'm going to say that I agree with you in that antisemetism is a problem that predates the creation of Israel. While I disagree with the motivations for its founding, I understand why it happened given the sheer impact of the atrocity of the holocaust. It should never happen again.

I personally feel that should apply to everyone. No group of people should have to bear with an occupation and genocide. With that, Its a bit disingenuous when I see how israel treats the palestinian people. Here we are talking about internet memes that are antisemetic. I agree its a serious problem but at the same time, we have mainstream media which dehumanizes palestinians. Its close to career suicide to advocate for their rights if you're in the media. These people live completely annexed to an open air prison. For them a 9/11 type event is a tuesday.

You can hold two ideas in your head of course. But when it comes to what I focus my attention on. One side has funding and an active branch advocating for their humanity. The other is being systematically oppressed RIGHT NOW by an active miltary force.
