There can be some arguments made in good faith against existence of Israel.
Israel exists because of one of the last follies of colonial empires before they stopped having enough push for this kind of things. It was created by displacing whole peoples based on agreement made over their heads. Continued existence of Israel has shown that it’s an apartheid expansionist state built on a dangerous mixture of religious zealotry and nationalism.
I think Germans should make their last „sorry guys” and give them some land. I know it wasn’t feasible before because Jews were scared of their oppressors but you can’t say Germans are in any shape or form antisemitic these days. I guess Middle Eastern immigrants in Germany would take an some issue with that but that’s German domestic politics. Then Germans can stop feeling sorry and they can also stop supplying weapons to kill Palestinians.
Sure, but that’s different than the dog whistle that is the specific line in question here.
I know, not everyone has the leisure to keep track of all of those. There’s just so damn many of them nowadays. And they’ve spread beyond the people that started using them into the general populace, which means they’ve been successful in one part of their original intent.
But, the arguments that Israel is a rogue state would be out of scope here, even though I agree with that.

I’m not talking out my ass
I thought so too for a long time. I changed my mind based on recent events and now I believe anti-zionists are called antisemites very purposefully.
