Keep calling me antisemitic for disagreeing with your politics and one day, when you truly cry antisemitism because a nazi is putting you in an oven again, I'll just dismiss it because you made me think that your word is worth nothing.

An honest critic of Israel directs their criticism at the people and organizations actually worth criticizing. Antisemites, on the other hand, direct it at anything that’s Israeli or Jewish. In your previous comment, you showed no sympathy for an Israeli airline’s office in Paris being vandalized - as if that has anything to do with the war in Gaza. That’s not anti-war activism; it’s blind hatred aimed at people based on their group identity - i.e., racism.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Al

El Al is the national carrier of Israel, and is partially government owned / funded. They are an extension of the Israeli government actively commiting a genocide.

And that's called a moral contamination fallacy - the belief that if X is connected to Y, then X must share full moral responsibility for everything Y does.

This kind of vandalism does nothing to hurt the war effort. All it does is damage property, terrorize innocent civilians and alienate the people who would've otherwise been on your side.

It’s a government controlled entity in a country with massive approval for the genocide. Maybe not every worker, but high ups, those with offices in Paris, will be aligned to the state’s stance. You are separating the entity from politics too much in order to claim them separate and feign innocence for the genociders.
