Saying that the Israeli government is doing bad thing is not antisemitic, unless it's said in an antisemitic way.
Easy agreement here,
Having criticism doesn't give one carte blanche to express that criticism any way they like.
Same here. Normal discourse only.
For example, someone might have disagreed with President Obama on issues of foreign policy, but that does not then give them the right to use the N-word.
On the same page as of yet!
Too many people are using criticism of the Israeli government to call for murdering Jews, as just one example, or by making comparisons of Jews to Nazis, both of which are antisemitic.
Calling for murdering Jews is indeed classic anti-semitism.
Comparing Jews to Nazis is anti-semitic as well, BUT drawing clear parallel's between the Israeli government and Nazi Germany in the light of genocide (and in the case of Israel sometimes even worse then genocide) should be permitted. As it's clear and present. It's a way of saying that the Israeli Government should know better.
There is plenty of Israeli governmental policy criticism, including from me, but not expressed in a hateful way.
I disagree here. I currently have a dislike for the Israeli Government because of their hateful way's. Saying I cannot be hateful back to them is odd.
And just to be sure; the PLO and later Hamas are no picnic either. (Not part of the talk here, but wanted to have said it)
I love it. These #US companies are absolutely screwing themselves twice over. AI won't deliver what they hope, and no people anymore to fix it.
In the meantime, the #EU is full-on developing alternatives and self sufficiency.

Ik zou graag altijd maar weer de "high road" willen nemen.. Maar we worden steeds ondergesneeuwd door bedrijven die geen interesse hebben in ons mooie moreel goede gedrag.
So according to this video: https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=Nsmb7n4l0rs
Donald Trump is a war criminal, who should appear in front of the #icc
But we have no way of enforcing compliance with the law.

It is why we made "international law" with the agreement that no-one would violate it, because we all knew what that would lead to and no-one wanted that to happen again,
It was made with the idea that indeed, not a single country should be above it. In order to prevent WWIII.
#Trump is playing with fire, coming closer and closer to starting #WWIII.
The interesting thing about Venezuela and Trump, is that we still want to see all the Epstein files.
According to the movies, Aliens only land and attack in the USA.
So if they ever do it, we could use that right now. Make them annoy something else for a few years.
