    The word “antisemitic” is rapidly losing its meaning and impact as it is used as a dog whistle by right wing Israeli politicians to attack anyone who doesn’t agree with them.

    This is very much the “boy who cried wolf” and it causes harm to all Jewish people in all countries.

      its not rapid. its been losing meaning for a long time.

      Started right around the time Israeli interest groups tried to use it to shut down any criticism/unfavorable comments towards Israel decades and decades ago.

      Its another classic right wing case of “Accuse the other of what we’re doing before they can use it against us.”

        It’s like watching a child of abuse grow up to become an abuser. Whatever happened to “Never Again”? I guess what they meant was “Never again to us”? Hitler would be proud of what Israel has become under Netanyahu. He would sing Bibi’s praise and shake his hand and call him friend.

    Ah yes, the old “criticizing us is antisemitism” defense.

      The fuck he doesn’t. He just wants everyone to give them a free pass because he believes Israel is divinely entitled to do whatever the fuck they want, while simultaneously playing the victim.

        It’s the classic bully holding someone’s arm and making them punch themselves and then asking why their victim is hitting themselves. In this case Israel/Bibi is both the bully and the victim.

        More than that, he wants the world to be against Israel, or at least for Israelis to feel like the world is against Israel. Because then they will turn to him to protect them from the world.

    Netanyahu is a murderer so of course he wants to shut people up.

      I love when you point that out to people and they become angry.

    That’s rich considering many of these student protests have some factions present that bill themselves as “Jews for Peace” or something similar. This idiot is the petulant child that keeps whining when he thinks the cookie he got is smaller than everyone else’s, even though he snuck three extra from the jar. Way to live up to stereotypes, pal.

      He doesn’t want to get assassinated like his predecessor so he needs to keep his foot on the gas.

    He probably calls the pictures of himself in lingerie on the cover of the Weekly World News anti-semitic, too.
    I’m not anti-semitic! I just hate Netanyahu because I’m anti-douchebag!

    Netanyahu is antisemitic, and I call for him to end.

    His every action has been for the sole purpose of stoking fear and resentment among Israelis, and Jews worldwide, so they would give him more power. He’s propped up Hamas for decades just to delegitimize Palestinians and keep the fighting going. He doesn’t care how many people have to die, as long as he stays in charge. Israelis, Palestinians, he does not give a fuck. Hell, I don’t even think he gives a shit about the hostages; they were just an excuse to create this carnage and instill even more of a seige mentality in his people.

    Ariel Sharon is rolling in his grave.

    Why does he even know about them? Shouldn’t he have better things to worry about? Those children won’t kill themselves

    Does this make me antisemitic? Seems as if that term has lost all meaning.

      Israel expends a tremendous amount of energy influencing American universities, media and politics. These protests are very frightening to him.

      Absolutely not.

      Seems as if that term has lost all meaning.

      Surprisingly, ALSO an emphatic no. Just because war criminals like Netanyahu and their sycophants use the term incorrectly doesn’t erase the REAL meaning. Don’t give them that power.

    This person should stay in their own lane and mind their own business. Worry about what Israel is doing. The USA is none of your business bibi.
