    Very nice, succinct example of exactly what I was talking about: by blurring the line between Judaism, the Jewish people, and the Israeli state, folks like you can paint any kind of criticism of Israeli government action, their supporters in media, or allied governments, as antisemitic, thereby shutting down reasonable discussion. Truly a thought terminating comment. Well done.

      Such a clear attempt to stop or totally derail conversation. I’ve taken to just blocking these accounts, but that’s only good for me, not the wider community.
