Again and again this flawed logic where you either approve of everything Israel does or you are an antisemite… it’s high time we start distinguishing between the country of Israel and people of Jewish descent (Jewish people should learn the distinction too, seeing how this “antisemite” argument has been repeated by Jewish communities outside Israel).

As for Merz (and Germany, and Europe, and - alas - apparently the world in general), it’s a real shame that the moronic dichotomy of humanity into arbitrary “us” and “them” (and subsequent blaming of everything on “them”) is becoming mainstream rather than staying relegated to the far right (and groups of kids that bully other kids).

Ironically, this is the same exact world vision that gave us that nazi-fascism that so thoroughly embraced antisemitism and so methodically acted on it.
