They mean antisemitic remarks. People keep confusing the two. Odd.
Honest question for someone out of the loop, and I really hope I don't say anything offensive. Is it antisemitic to claim the Israel Military/Government is committing genocide? Is it the infered intent of the speaker that makes the distinction if the statement is antisemitic or not?
I really wish the article explained why these statements are antisemitic. Nothing here seems hostile to Jewish people as a whole, and I interpreted it as a condemnation of the government, but maybe I'm naive. To me it seems like having any opinion opposed to the Israeli Military/Government is considered antisemitic, and they are immune to criticism.
No it isn't but the Israel lobby is fighting a furious campaign to shut down criticism and calling people anti semites and getting them cancelled or fired is their primary weapon to silence people through fear.
She justified antisemitism:
She made a comparison, not a justification.
I understand what Susan Sarandon said was wrong, I'm referring to the rest of the article where other people were accused of antisemitism for saying the Israeli Government is committing genocide.
Saying that you oppose Genocide is not antisemitic
Saying that opposition to genocide is antisemitic is to say genocide is inherent to Judaism - that's some Hitler-tier antisemitism that makes a (moronic) case for exterminating the genocidal Jewish race.
