The meme is broadly generalizing Israel as a homogenic society that casually murders children on a regular basis and omits that Israel is in fact a diverse society. By doing so it reproduces the ancient antisemitic trope of ritual child murder and blood libel. Neo-Nazis and other racist antisemites would therefore love this meme. From an antifascist perspective this meme is absolutely unacceptable.
Conflating Israel's actions with Judaism as a whole is extremely antisemitic in its own right.
Israel's regime does casually murder children on a regular basis, it is not antisemitic to say that.
If you're suggesting ignoring the fact, just because "Neo-nazis might like it", I can't stand with you.
I fully agree with your statement. However, calling out antisemitic propaganda aimed at Israel does not equal doing that imo.
I fully agree with that one too and would be fine with the meme if it would have an IDF flag or a Bibi face instead of the Israel flag.
I am not exactly sure what you mean, please elaborate.
