Everyone keeps conflating these two, and it’s quite annoying. And I’ll say it louder for the people in the back: OPPOSING ISRAEL’S INDISCRIMINATE GENOCIDE IS NOT ANTISEMITISM. It is in no reference to Jews, either as a religion or a race, it is towards the Israeli government and their nationalistic followers that allow for the slaughter of men, women, and children.

No, but as people in this very thread have shown, there are those who use antizionism to justify antisemitism. Advocating for the genocide of Israeli Jews is antisemitic, regardless of the fact that the Israeli government is likewise genocidal.

The answer to "The Nazis are rounding people up in camps to murder them!" is not "Well, let's just round up all the Germans in camps and murder them." Likewise, the answer to "Israel is trying to expel or murder all Palestinians from the land of their birth!" is not "Well, let's expel or murder all Israelis from the land of their birth."
