So you're confusing criticism of Israel's government and specifically, Netanyahu, with antisemitism?

I don't think I said anything about Netanyahu or Israel's government. You can criticise Israel's government and Netanyahu without supporting Israeli genocide. As long as I remember, antisionism have been an excuse for antisemitism: "I don't support the existence of the country of Israel", but there's no solution what should happen to the people after eradicating Israel.

Then I'm not sure what you're talking about because I think you'll find that most on the left are not antisemitic, nor have an issue with Jews or "support Israeli genocide" but what they do is rightfully criticise Israel's government and Netanyahu and guess what, so do a lot of Jewish people as well. Very few on the left are going out to chant in support of genocide of Israel, Wtf? They're mainly just telling Israel to stop fucking bombing the shit out of all its neighbours, stop stealing land and stop with the disproportional responses.

Yes Jews were victims during WW2 and the Nazis were bastards so we stopped them. Pointing out that Israel has a lot of control over America and some other countries though is not antisemitic, that is just a fact and we're specifically talking about Israel here, we're not saying "Jews control the world" but "Israel the country has too much influence over America"

People who are advocating for the genocide of Israel or whatever you claim, are likely not leftists to begin with and are more likely jihadist extremists, since when were those guys left wing? Yes, I consider Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis to be terrorists but I can and will still criticise Israel's government, and largely Netanyahu, who by the way, if not for this conflict would likely be heading out the door, the man has already had multiple protests against him and is facing multiple corruption charges.
