Misattributing antisemitism to things that are not is just delegitimizing the label. The attention is never on actual antisemitic attacks, usually done by right wing Trumpists. Criticizing genocide is the real antisemitism.

Hamas' actions haven't been ideal, but they are the only resistance group around with any power. There seems to be this expectation for there to be perfect victims. What led up to anything Hamas has done is ignored.

Again, Hamas is not perfect (PLO was better), but they are the only form of resistance a desperate and hurting Palestine has.
Can you blame them? Israel is destroying them. Settlers are mobinh into their homes. Again with the perfect victim bullshit.
I don't ****in like Islam. It's a violent religion just like th other two Abrahamic religions. That still doesn't make ethnic cleansing okay, which is what Israel was always about. This didn't start on October 7th. This started with the Nakba in the 40's -

Again, I'm aware of Hamas' flaws, but no, Palestinians' suffering is due to Israel.
Israel is under attack for attacking for decades. They have been establishing an ethnostate through genicide and apartheid.
We're getting away from the core of the problem.
