    If it’s antisemitic to call out and despise those that support the genocide of innocent children and civilians, then I’m a proud antisemite. That hill I WILL die on.

      The meme is literally, explicitly, saying the opposite. That’s not antisemitic.

        Is it not? This meme says you’re allowed to criticize the government of Israel, but I’m taking it one step further and criticizing the population of Israel that supports killing babies, children, women, and innocents.

          There’s a pretty big difference between criticizing Nazis and saying and entire population should be expelled.

      No, that’s not antisemitic in the least. Israel is committing a genocide, and it should be treated as a pariah state and all measures possible employed against it to pressure it to cease.

      What is antisemitic is, as mentioned in the title and seen advocated by people in this very comment section, advocating for the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Israel, especially when combined with the bizarre notion that Israel-born Israelis can just be shipped back to where their ancestors came from in Europe, like some bizarre mirror image of the Nazis in the 1930s planning to ethnically cleanse Germany of Jews by shipping them to where their ancestors came from in Palestine.

        and all measures possible employed against it to pressure it to cease.

        Including Palestinian military action and guerilla war, correct?

          Yes. Unironically, critical support for suicide bombing of military targets. The only restraints I have to supporting Palestinian action are moral restraints - ie that while civilian collateral casualties are acceptable, such as during rocket barrages of legitimate targets, civilians should not be specifically targeted.
