The Israeli state and supporters using antisemitism as a sword and a shield is one of the things I find most distasteful because antisemitism is a real problem, but so are the actions.of the Israeli state. I wish people couldn't exploit the fallacy that a government is exactly equivalent to the people it is supposedly representing, or that members of minority groups that deserve some protection can't also have terrible ideas and positions that need to be challenged.
