I apply it to people supporting the Israeli atrocities, nothing else. I wouldn’t apply it to Jews or even Israeli who call out the genocide. Only the genocide supporters such as yourself I do wonder: Why do you call opposition to genocide antisemitism when it clearly isn’t?

If you’re opposed to genocide of Jews, I wouldn’t consider you to be antisemitic. Hamas committed genocidal acts on Jews on October 7. Do you denounce Hamas? If you can’t denounce Hamas, you’re at minimum willing to look the other way on atrocities committed against Jews. And that makes you antisemitic. I’ve found very few people in the “far left” are capable of denouncing Hamas. They tend to ban me from leftist communities rather than face the question of whether to denounce Hamas. You’re not anti-genocide if you can’t denounce groups that have genocidal goals. So applying critical thinking, leftists aren’t really against genocide if they aren’t against Hamas. Do you denounce Hamas? Will you answer that question or do typical the leftist whataboutism about genocide?
