Fucking virtue signaling for team Israel.
It is OK to criticize or express caution about Israeli policies and government. That is NOT antisemitism.

It's antisemitism to insist that Jewish people who don't even live there are connected to Israel's crimes aginst humanity

Sure, I don't know what that has to do with notable Jewish senator Bernard Sanders that lived in a Kibbutz in Israel at one time, though.

Quite notable, that Bernard.
