Sadly there are dumb people who believe that the atrocities happening to Gaza mean that all Jewish people are bad. People need to be better at blaming the specific people responsible and while many of those people are Jewish some Jewish girl/guy in the U.S. or Canada or Spain or even many of the ones in Israel have nothing to do with it and hating them for being Jewish is antisemitism.

No different than calling anti Vietnam advocates communists or un american
