How is critiquing a nation that’s committing gross human rights violations antisemitic?

  • I could understand reasons to dislike Mexicans and blacks.

What reasons do Americans have for being racist toward each other? None. Give me a “good” reason for racism. This should be good.

To be clear, I don't hold the opinions that I'm talking about, it's just that they seem to be internally consistent and have an identifiable origin.

If you strongly identify with your race or culture, and another race or culture threatens to conflict with, up-end, or destroy it, it makes sense to dislike/distrust that second race or culture. That's what some people could perceive Mexicans or black people to be doing.

I'm sorry if I misjudged, but it does feel weird. The only thing that makes Israel unique (including any human rights violations, everyone does that) is its ties to Judaism. I just don't know what either Isreal or jews did to warrant a meme like this when so many like them never get memes made of them.
