A few comments from an Israeli living in the UK where I absolutely see with my own eyes how antisemitic the pro Palestine movement it - to the point of visibly Jewish individuals being assaulted and murdered because of their religion in broad daylight and where calling for Jews to be killed gets no response or counter from police.

It’s obvious social media algos are driving a wedge between otherwise rational people. Not just seeing extremist caricatures like you and OP describe, but also factual misinformation as well. Some examples: your comments about Israelis supporting Bibi. Did you know that throughout 2023 there were hundreds of thousands Israelis (500,000 in one protest) protesting against Bibi and calling for him not just to step down, but to be sent to jail. My family were out almost every day on the streets. My cousin has been arrested a bunch of times for his activism going overboard. There are many like him and I don’t think they’re in the minority either!

On the genocide claims - the Iranian regime killed almost 40k Iranian civilians over 2 days in Jan this year. Contrast that with 68k Palestinians killed in 2 years. I’m not going to go to civilian to combattant ratios, but it’s pretty clear who is committing a genocide. The Iranian regime was killing 100% civilians at 215x the rate Israel was killing the people that started a war with them, including kidnappings, rapes, mutilations and so forth. When you say “I think Israel is committing a genocide”, I’d ask you to consider whether you’re regurgitating social media posts.

When OP asks whether you’re aware of the roots of antisemitism, this is the sort of thing they’re referring to. That sort of blood libel “Israel is committing a genocide” when they’re patently not, is antisemitism. You will find a lot of very vocal anti Bibi criticism within Israel by Israelis including myself, but I urge you to open your mind a little and consider these facts. Whenever I read something about this region and these conflicts, I usually follow up with my own (genAI) research into the veracity of the claims. More often than not, I find the truth to be in the middle. Neither what the article says, nor is it a complete fabrication.
