    So he is equating the IDF, a genocidal gorganization, priding itself in executing medics, sniping children and starving millions of people while baiting some of them with the promise of food into a kill zone, with Judaism and Jews in general.

    That sounds like an extreme version of the blood libel to me.

      People use religions to commit hate, murder, and genocide. Both islam and judiaism do this regularly. All other religions do as well.

      Not all religious people are extremists, but they do support extremist hate religions.

      “But I don’t support the hate parts of my religion that are clearly printed in my holy hate book”. Yeah, right. Fuck religions and those that support them.

        What a load of bigoted bullshit.

        There is about 2 billion Christians in the world and 1.8 billion Muslims. If they were to “support extremist hate” like you describe it, we would be at a global war that would dwarf any war before it.

        Meanwhile people who are outspoken Anti-theists, often support the most vile supremacism, combining their belief of intellectual supremacism with beliefs of racial, cultural, ableist or other ideas of supremacism and subsequently justify bigoted violence including genocide. This also holds true for Zionism that for its longest time was a secular movement that faced heavy criticism by religious Jews and took a long time to create its warped understanding of Judaism in service of its imperialist ideology.

        Of course it is convenient to blame imperialist violence on religion so as to distract from the imperialist and racist violence in your own ideology. This is also why some of the staunchest anti-theists are big supporters of US Fascism under Trump, willing to work together with the Evangelicals as the main goal is Fascism.

          Wrong. Meanwhile “Yahweh was an ancient Semitic deity of weather and war”. The flaws we see in others are often the flaws we see in ourselves.

      Pretty sure it meets their strange definition of antisemitism.

      Even the semites are antisemites.
