If you don’t support the Israeli government does that automatically mean you are antisemitic? Does it also mean you automatically support Hamas?

[Still-alive]

Just want a show of hands if you believe these things. I'll try to stay neutral on this one...

If you don't support the israeli government it means you support hamas and are antisemitic yes

If you don't support the Israeli government it does mean you support hamas but doesn't mean you are antisemitic

If you don't support the Israeli government it means you are antisemitic but don't necesarily support hamas

No if you don't support the Israeli government it does not automatically mean you are antisemitic nor does it automatically mean you support hamas

I have no idea. im not following the latest news about this conflict and just wanna see results.

A total of 22 votes were cast: 12 girls and 10 guys. See detailed results

All sensible responses so far, but no doubt there will be someone along to disagree. The proof is in the fact that most Israelis don't support their current government, and for good reasons, including the government's failure to anticipate the recent attack, Netanyahu's judicial reform which is a power grab against the judiciary, and arguably his playing off the Palestinian Authority against Hamas for years. Unless most Israelis are anti-Semitic Hamas supporters...

Simply opposing Israeli colonial rule over Hamas is antisemitic.

That really makes one wonder... European countries get slated and told to tolerate diversity under the guise of their past crimes of colonialism, yet Israel gets a free pass to do colonialism in the 21st century and the same people who slate Europe do nothing but cower in fear of being accused of antisemitism, the same way the right fears being called racist

I don’t support Israeli and I definitely don’t support Hamas. Islamically or not, hamas are not Muslims and it’s unfortunate that the rest of the world view them as the communication party for the rest of Muslims.

As for Israelis, I don’t even know. I feel like my Israeli police will head hunt me and dox me for even saying anything.
I don’t support any party. It’s just killings of innocent people from both sides.

I have no idea. I know nothing about what’s going on and I’ve tried to stay away from the news regarding it. Which I know makes me privileged, the fact that I can just ignore it. But it’s all so depressing and hateful.

[Kelly6]

you are doing right thing,
i'm trying my best to dodge it, but media is making it impossable

[Still-alive]

Staying away from Mainstream media especially is smart. they've really gone off the deep end on this one

Voted D. There are people who don't support any side (like me). I believe that both sides are wrong. I'm not antisemitic, on the contrary I understand the prejudice they face even though I'm not Jewish. I just think this war is unnecessary and dangerous even for countries that are not involved.

That being said, I can see why someone wouldn't support Israel, but I wouldn't assume that they're antisemitic or that they support Hamas.

no it does not make you bad person if you don't support israel.

it makes no sense.

it''s like saying if you don't eat animal meat then you are cannibalism. lol

[jahaims]

Obviously not, to both questions.
