yes it has to be condemed, but not in the way of “we cannot tolerate hate against jews, we must support israel”
for us states are separate from religion, i can condemn the cruelty of israel without hating jews. i can condemn the cruelty of the hamas without hating moslems.
but if anybody is against israels current actions they are instantly marked as antisemitic, so they animate more hate against israel, and the real antisemites get cocky.
if critique about a country, a party, a politician or an opinion becomes a hate crime, we’re just a short step away from fascism
