I first thought you were going to point out how the misuse of the word "antisemitic" is especially problematic here: Do the vast majority of people not understand correlation vs. causation? Because Netanyahu is Jewish does not mean an action against him is because he's Jewish. That they are willing to use such "cry wolf" tactics, abusing it, dilutes their credibility at minimum - and then should bring their integrity into question, just for this misrepresentation of calling this action antisemitic. | |||||||||||||||||

I would say it’s clear that Israel draws a lot more criticism than other countries seem to for their bad actions. Whether this is antisemitism or not is up to interpretation but I can see why they might consider it so. | |||||||||||||||||

I mean, this has been standard operating procedure for the State of Israel for a long time now. Any criticism is dismissed as antisemitic. Personally, I don't think that's fair, but it's understandable why they would use it as a defence. | |||||||||||||||||
