Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive congresswoman, hosted a conversation about the rise in antisemitism with Jewish experts on her social media platforms.
There is no place for antisemitism, but there’s a lot of stuff that’s being called antisemitism that isn’t. Calling out a government commiting genocide or annexing sovereign territory is not antisemitic even if that government is Israel.
Just like it’s not anti-American to call out the US for supplying Israel with weapons of war that are used in that genocide.
I’m Jewish and I fart a lot. It’s not antisemitic to say that I fart a lot, but it is to say that Jews fart a lot based only on your know knowledge of me.
If I come over to your house and drop an insane deuce in your toilet, it’s concerning but not antisemitic to say that a Jew ruined your toilet. If you tell your friends that the Jews conspired to blow up your toilet, that would be both antisemitic and 100% true.
It also wouldn’t be anti-American to say that Chipotle provided me WMDs: Weapons of Massive Diarrhea

I consider this argument to be quite scatologically correct.
If they point out your Jewishness whilst complaining about you ruining their toilet, though, that is a bit sketchy.
