They mean antisemitic remarks. People keep confusing the two. Odd.
Honest question for someone out of the loop, and I really hope I don’t say anything offensive. Is it antisemitic to claim the Israel Military/Government is committing genocide? Is it the infered intent of the speaker that makes the distinction if the statement is antisemitic or not?
Last month, Maha Dakhil, the co-head of film at Hollywood powerhouse agency CAA, faced internal backlash and resigned from the agency’s board after she reposted an image on Instagram that read, in part: “You’re currently learning who supports genocide.”
Dakhil added the caption: “That’s the line for me.” She then posted a second image that read: “What’s more heartbreaking than witnessing genocide? Witnessing the denial that genocide is happening.”
I really wish the article explained why these statements are antisemitic. Nothing here seems hostile to Jewish people as a whole, and I interpreted it as a condemnation of the government, but maybe I’m naive. To me it seems like having any opinion opposed to the Israeli Military/Government is considered antisemitic, and they are immune to criticism.
She justified antisemitism:
“There are a lot of people afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country.”
