Israeli officials have accused Brazil’s president of antisemitism following his comparison of Israeli violence to that of the Nazis
…
“For a foreign ministry to address a head of state from a friendly country in this way is unusual and revolting. It is a shameful page in the history of Israel’s diplomacy,” the Brazilian diplomat went on to say, adding that Israel is trying to cover up its crimes in Gaza with a smokescreen
Accusing anyone who criticizes you of antisemitism just devalues the term. Which is really fucking stupid because there is a modern rise in anti semitism, but it goes way further back than the current genocide in Gaza and most (not all but most) of the antisemitism is tangential or unrelated to Israel.
