    If Zionists consider themselves as the only true representatives of their ethnicity and thus separate themselves from the rest of their ethnicity, when someone else depicts that view, it is automatically anti-Semitic?

    Lol, you’re really doubling down on this? By your logic, does depicting a jew with a hooked nose classify as antisemitic? Since they say they’re the ‘true jews’, are any of the classic jewish stereotypes fair game?

    The problem with their use isn’t that you’re projecting a classification on them, it’s that you’re tying their differentiating characteristics to the terrible thing they’ve done. You’re making it (to varying degrees) about what makes them jewish, not the terrible thing they’re doing.

    I’ve heard a lot of rationalizations of racism before, but “i’m actually doing activism” is a new one.

          But the manner of speech in this case can be seen as a form of snobbish elitism that differentiates from the regular citizen.

              All these different hills we have, yet somehow we all think ours is better.

              Enjoy your hill, random internet stranger.
