Israel objectively committed the definition of genocide, cope harder.

Criticism of a state is not inherently anti-Semitism, that's a classic guilt-by-association fallacy. Israel is a state, not a group of people, we are not talking about Israelis here.

I'm not even on the Palestinian side, Hamas did some shit too and captured hostages, but Israel used that as an excuse to hit back with disproportional force that's killed a lot of Palestinian civilians, and it's highly likely they've been doing so on purpose.

Although it has not officially been declared a genocide, the UN is very concerned with Israel's actions, and they should not be celebrated.

Israel has also repeatedly attacked the UN, making it clear they want them to stop rendering aid to Gaza so they can kill as many Palestinians as possible.

Here's some data on Palestinian vs Israeli death and injury counts up until 2023, with a link towards data beyond that point on the page.
