Israel Government <> Judaism
It’s not really that hard to understand. Much like you can be critical of US government and not hate Americans.
<> is not the symbol for inequality, either
≠(originating from mathematics) or!=(originating from programming) are.<> generally imply “brackets” when used as a pair, but without any content in between them can be taken to mean “roughly interchangeable”
What you write reads as: “the Israel government is roughly interchangeable with Judaism” which seems to be the opposite of what you wanted to say.
<> is the Excel way of indicating “not equal.” Why? Because Excel is garbage, lol.
Being critical of Judaism isn’t anti-semitism either.
I’m critical of all organised religions, but I consider their followers victims and would never discriminate on religious grounds.
Sure, but the crowds overlap far too much.
If you say you are pro-Palestinian, and you actually mean it, then naturally you would be anti-Hamas, as they are horrible for the Palestinian people, and you would also want cooperation between Palestinians and Israelis, as there is no other realistic option toward peace. But so many “pro-Palestinians” just use the position to mask their antisemitism, and don’t give a crap about the Palestinians living under oppressive Hamas rule. No exception here.
When being pro-Palestinian means the erasure of the state of Israel and Jewish presence in the land, it sure as hell is antisemitism. When it means coming to a difficult but necessary acceptance of the fact that either the land needs to be divided OR making a genuine case to Israeli Jews that a one state system will not mean their destruction then it is not antisemitic. The Palestinian national movement has failed on both accounts and the Islamist version under Hamas has made their vision of Jewish life in the land of Israel very clear.
