      Did I say Israel loves killing children? Nice strawman you got there.

      The thing is, Israel doesn’t care if Palestinian children die. Israel doesn’t care if Palestinian civilians die. I’m saying that they should care about this. But then, people like you start calling us antisemitic.

        no, and I never said you did. the meme on the other hand did. nice strawman got got there.

        in the meme the bug representing israel says that it doesn’t matter who it kills (including children), it just loves killing. then I called the meme antisemitic for this.

        Israel doesn’t care if Palestinian children die. Israel doesn’t care if Palestinian civilians die. I’m saying that they should care about this.

        I agree with all three statements and never said otherwise.

        But then, people like you start calling us antisemitic.

        I only called those people who say that Isreal likes killing children antisemitic. But by saying “us” you seem to indentify with those I call antisemitic…

      Statements about Israel in general are not antisemitic because Israel is a political entity, not a synonym for Jews or Judaism.

      Claiming Israel represents all Jews is antisemitic, though, because Israel is fucking awful and it’s unfair to blame all Jews for it.
