That's really significant. Many Germans are afraid to say anything against Israel because they will be considered anti-semitic.

Just because some people conflate criticism with Israel with antisemitism, doesn't mean it's true. It starts becoming antisemitic when people mention "the Jews/Judaism" or say shit like "there are no civilians in Israel" (I have seen this one a few times by lemmy.ml and hexbear users before).

Sure, agreed.

or say shit like "there are no civilians in Israel"

That’s bold, but not anti-semitic. Explain why you think it is, without arguing like a Zionist.

Something something universal military draft. Which is also stupid.
