Israel and Jews are not the same thing. Israel is a country for the Jews who happen to be racist colonisers. Every ethnic/religious group has racists in it, and the ones stealing homes in Palestine are the racist Jews. Most Jewish people don't live in Israel, because most of them aren't racist.
Jewish people are not flawless paragons. To portray them as such is to deify and other them, striping them off their humanity. They are human beings, flawed in all the same ways the rest of humanity is flawed. That includes, in many but not all, racism. It's not antisemitic to say that some are racist. They're human, and racism is a very human trait. You're the antisemite. You deny them the flaws of being human, and other them as universally perfect.
Nah, you both suck
