Yes, if we weren't dealing with Jews, it would change the equation there. The issue is a very specific accusation of political corruption revolving around that....a not inconsiderate part of antisemitic stereotypes revolve around accusations of political corruption and nefariously pulling strings.

There aren't that same history with Russia, or a history of oppression upon Russia. In fact, that was an accusation in Russia against the Jewish minority.

I understand where you're coming from, but that's not where I was going with all of that. Israel can engage in corruption just like any other country and they can engage in things that bigots see as a strictly Jewish act.

Like...Netanyahu is a corrupt, genocidal, warmongering monster. Claiming that is antisemitic is ridiculous and deflection. But the accusation that Israel is giving Chuck Schumer marching orders on unrelated votes is where it gets to be a bit much

Like with Netanyahu, it's not because he or Schumer or any corrupt member of the Israeli government are Jewish, it's because they're assholes. That's what I've been meaning.
