    Honestly I believe it’s western media. Antisemitism, antizionism, anti-Israel, and anti-Netanyahu are interchangeable in both left and right leaning networks. They are all vastly different and yet conflated as the se in western media and government.

      A lot of american wealth backing Israel is from Christian Zionists, which are essentialy apocalyptic death cultists.

      You can believe that, but the conflation with US news began by repeating Netanyahu’s defense.

      The OED, Merriam-Webster, and the IHRA continue to define antisemitism as hostility toward, or discrimination against, Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group. The ADL is the only organization that has changed the definition to include hostility toward Israel.
