It’s probably helpful to note that it’s quite common in right-wing rhetoric, particularly as pertains to Likud politics, to conflate criticism of Netanyahu’s politics with antisemitism. It’s an effective way to call his critics anti-semites for an audience that doesn’t understand the difference between Judaism and Likud party politics- sort of like how MAGA republicans call themselves patriots and then claim that their critics are therefore unpatriotic.

Musk has famously re-platformed far-right, nazi-coddling accounts and laid off basically everyone responsible for moderating content. Yes, it’s a complete mystery as to why Twitter has a nazi problem

    This isn’t even a new phenomenon, accusations of antisemitism were also often thrown at anti-Zionists when there were plenty of good political reasons not to establish and prop up the state of Israel. (What’s also funny about that is there were/are actually antisemites who were/are in favor of getting rid of Jews from their country by exporting them to Israel.)
