Explain how opposition to specific policies of Israel constitutes “Jew hating”.

A piece on the Israeli regime's attempt to conflate criticism of government policy with bigotry, from an Israeli newspaper.

International Criticism of Netanyahu Is Not Antisemitic

There is a crucial difference between antisemitism and legitimate political criticism—and it must be defended now more than ever. Criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or opposing the policies of his government is not an attack on Jews or Judaism. It is a reflection of democratic engagement and moral concern.

In recent years, a troubling trend has emerged: some political leaders and advocacy groups conflate any criticism of Israel—or Netanyahu personally—with antisemitism. This is not only intellectually dishonest but deeply damaging. Such conflation is used as a rhetorical shield to deflect scrutiny, especially over Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and military operations in Gaza. It silences debate and distorts the meaning of real antisemitism.

As noted before, we see more honest reporting about the Israeli government, from Israeli media, than from the US mainstream media.
