Says the guy calling anyone who doesn’t actively support a genocide conducted by the Isreali government “antisemitic.”
Totally equivalent to beating people up or targeting businesses
Yes much like being critical of a government guilty of murdering thousands of children makes you “antisemitic”
Should I remind you who started this?
