People are dying. Let's not get carried away with nonsense. When people use the term "antisemitism" they are using the modern defition to mean prejudice against Jewish people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism

Let's also not get carried away with fervor. People are dying. Being against Israel's overreaction, genocide, and colonialism is not being antisemitic.

Agreed, but neither should we ignore the large contingent of actual bigots who will use these atrocities to advance their respective ignorant and hate-based agendas. There is real anti-semitism and islamophobia pervading the international conversations.

Indeed, but the corporate media and governments seem to be taking Israel's side, so I feel the more accurate balancing point is to focus on the humanity of Palestinians. They are truly powerless being toyed with by Israel while Hamas ensures that the generalized punishment from Israel (a war crime) will continue.
