I just wonder what part of my text made you think I'm talking about Hamas.

"I always was under the impression that Antisemitism is when someone is against Jews because they're Jews, basically like racism but against specifically Jews. But lately I see the word Antisemitism used very lightly ". What else was that supposed to mean?

But lately I see the word Antisemitism used very lightly basically if someone is dissatisfied with the actions of the state Israel then they are called Antisemitic.

Not OP but: I mean if you bothered to read the sentence you quoted to the end you'd have your question answered

And what is that supposed to mean? Hamas is antisemitic. The place where he sees people using the word antisemite is the same place where the Hamas is being called out.

No. This is your assumption from your limited bubble. In his limited bubble there might be people calling legitimate israel critique antisemitic. You just hopped in this thread and claimed they were talking about Hamas apologetics.

It means that now you can't criticise Israel actions without being called an antisemite, even tho you don't care about them being jews.

By whom? I only ever see people crying about this. Never seen a person being called antisemite when they werent. Only Tankies and edgy contrarians.
