It’s so exhausting, but this is the real antisemitism. When you retaliate against Jews for expressing our political opinions, you’re the ones being antisemitic, not the Jews speaking our minds.

It’s a damn shame that so many people are incapable of grasping that Jews can be just as critical of the actions of a foreign government as anyone else. In fact, it is antisemitic to assert that Jews must adhere to some shared belief that doesn’t reflect our reality or values. When Israel acts like a monstrous murderer, this Jew will always call it out.

Well people should be expelled for their views if their views are disgusting, just in this case they aren’t and it is ridiculous but I wouldn’t say it is ethically wrong to remove someone with terrible views.

The UK Labour Party is a joke! First they won’t consult with trans people on creating the laws that affect their entire lives and now they’re targeting Anti-Zionist Jews.

Didn’t Kurt Cobain or whatever get reamed sideways and labelled as an antisemite, losing him his spot in the party?

Sounds like a knee jerk reaction after the last time the media portrayed them as antisemites.
