You’ve lost me there, TBH. We’re on a thread where an Israeli, who expresses strong disagreement with the government, says that they are often getting purely antisemitic comments. And your response is that you in America have never been called a kike.

FYI: kike is out of fashion because it gets you banned. The antisemites now use Zio, (a trick already used in Poland in 1968 to ethnically cleanse the last remaining Jews), and HN is open to the whole world. I’ll leave you with links to some recent “anti-Zionist” comments:

I’m not sure what point you are making, that the antisemitism is justified?

The best you can come up with is a foreign-agent-ad-hominem?

The only reason to exaggerate the wrongs of one side in a conflict is propaganda - paid or motivated by your own sick agenda. Which means that it’s pointless to argue with you about if you should be telling Jews what antisemitism is.

I put that question forth to assume good faith. This despite all the points in your comment being tropes I have seen repeated many times. You have contributed nothing interesting to the conversation.

You are fortunate to live in a country that’s the world’s friendliest towards Jews after Israel. I’m going to guess that you also don’t usually go around looking obviously Jewish and so have never personally been the victim of antisemitism.

But when someone expresses hatred towards Jews in general, do you not think that includes you? (I can link you to many examples of that on here).

It’s also disingenuous to pretend that Israeli-Arab conflict is not about Jews. The only issue the Arab neighbours have with Israel is that it’s a Jewish state. When people now say “Palestinian” they mean specifically non-Jewish Palestinian.

The banner of the Iran-sponsored Houthis has on it “Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews”.

You think that if you come across Hamas members they will care about your position on Zionism?

When pro-Palestinian terrorists seek out victims in Israel or in other countries they often go for the Haredim, even though they are anti-Zionist. Many of the killed and kidnapped on Oct 7 were far left activists who had previously volunteered to help Gazans.

So sure, you can feel comfortable in America now, but your personal experience does not deny the experience of others globally.

> Israel, who is attacking everyone around them

Can you acknowledge that this is hyperbole? It’s not helpful for you to present yourself as rational in this debate if you are exaggerating the wrongs of one side.
