    Totally agree. Being anti Israel does not equate anti semitism.

      No, but the media sure loves to shout antisemitism any chance they get. I saw an article today claiming Rep. Rashida Tlaib is antisemtic for tweeting:

      From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate. My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity.

      Imagine calling someone antisemitic for calling for equality and peace.

        Do some cursory research into the history of that slogan. It originated as a call for the genocide of Israeli Jews.

        Trying to reclaim it now as a “peaceful liberation protest” slogan would be like trying to reclaim the Nazi salute. Only an antisemite would attempt either.
