Again this on-purpose confusing of "antisemitism" with "criticising Israeli politics". It would have been antisemitic if it was "Jews not welcome". Putting both in one pot is the key tactic to make IDF war crimes or Israeli settlers driving out Palestinians in-criticisable.

Criticism of Israel is not antisemitic
I have many Jewish friends and a respectful disdain for most all religions… I love learning the practices and beliefs of various mythologies that have been created and conjured by those trying to hold and justify power over their people, especially the stories in their religious texts identifying ways to be good human beings in an unfair world.
Jews are pretty cool, and I love how knowledge and education are generally highly valued.
Fuck the Israeli government.
In claiming that, Israel is saying that all Jewish people support the IDF's tactics of sniping babies and shooting starving people after luring them with food, which is itself quite antisemitic
As others have said. Disagreeing with Israeli policy is not any semetic at all.
This is not about policy, Israelis didn't choose to be born there
Israel is a democracy. They chose their government. Reap what you sow and all that.
So if you're a Palestinian Israeli, who in no way supports the government or voted for it, you get to be discriminated against?
Would it be fair to ban Americans because one disagrees with Trump?
Yes.
Was it fair to bomb Germans because of Hitler?
Is it fair to sanction a country because of it's leadership?
Would it be fair to ban Jewish Germans from universities?
How exactly is it comparable?
There are Palestinian Israelis
And? How is it related to what you said?
Because banning Germans from the US in 1939 would exclude Jewish refugees from Germany from the US too
Excluding Israelis also excludes people who are ethnically Arab from Israel
And?
We didn't discriminate against German Jews, why should we discriminate against Israeli Arabs?
Who is "we" and what's your point?
Americans didn't discriminate against all Germans during WW2, why should they discriminate against all Israelis when the US is not even at war with Israel?
Americans
What are you even talking about?
Americans because Italy was an ally of Hitler's Germany so you can't make the same comparison
Man, just put your thoughts in order. You are making no sense.
It makes no sense to discriminate against people based on the country of their birth or their citizenship. Is that clear enough?

Yes.
Many countries are already boycotting lots of American stuff. Nothing racial about it.
I could easily see a business saying no Israeli citizens allowed but still welcome American Jews with Israeli heritage. Still not antisemitic.
Israel calls for Political accountability... This must be a joke! That said, this is not antisemitism. This may indeed be political accountability!
Mixing religion and nationality is the excuse
Sucks to be the small minority of anti-genocide Israelis, but yeah you reap what you sow.
Did they have signs against Russians?
They should
Keep wasting your time with your dumb israeli propaganda
Oh we will god damn you!!!! /s
You mean shocks Zionist. I like how they like to conflate the two. Zionism = movement, Judaism = religion, the two are not the same.
You realize a lot of Palestinians are Israeli, right? Israeli is what your passport says
Wow a Jewish Nazi. You losing your instance is my silver lining to lemm.ee
wow an islamist nazi
Nope. Their religion is only slightly stoopid-er by virtue of having more material. Doomsday cult dipshit. I bet you're like a mcchristian and haven't even read the whole Torah, just recited pieces with help.
