It’s this same logic that allows any criticism of Israel’s actions to be labeled antisemitism. No, I don’t hate Jewish people, I just don’t want families being bombed just because they exist. Israel the state is doing that, with a lot of push back from Jewish people all over the place. Are those Jews being labeled antisemitic?

Can’t we be pro-peace? Pro all-people-figuring-out-their-problems-without-murdering-anyone?

Another, sort of related question:

I’m confused when I see people waving swastikas and being big Israel supporters. Do those people not understand the symbols they carry? Or is there something I’m missing? Can a person be antisemitic but also Zionist? What would be the point?

Yes, Jewish people who oppose the genocide are often labelled antisemitic—and some have been forced out of jobs or deplatformed.

I haven't seen people waving swastikas and being pro Israel. But you can be antisemitic and zionist for sure. see John Hagee.
