Yup, 100% with the sign. Last I checked, it’s not like in order to be Jewish you have to kill children, in fact I’m pretty sure the religious texts promote love and compassion. Therefore saying “I fucking hate child killers” is not synonymous with “I don’t like Jewish people” because that venn diagram is not a circle, and child killers and sponsors of genocide are not a religious group.
I’m on the opposite side of the world to the conflict, a large number of synagogues and Jewish groups in my country are flooding to social media to condemn the needless deaths, and speak out against the actions of both Israel and Hamas on how they have both decimated innocent lives. So I’m in agreement with my local Jewish community and support what they are doing, and I don’t see how that could be antisemitic.
Imagine seeing a sign demanding ending a genocide and calling it antisemitic.
Imagine Jewish people 80 years ago seeing this.
I’m a Jewish person today. That sign is not antisemitic, it’s accurate.
I meant the response of the person in the screenshot. I am fully with the sign and do not consider myself antisemitic.
ETA: just realized that was posted by an actual (?) organization.
Wait til you hear about the anti defamation league

It hadn’t occurred to me to look to my local Jewish community but now I may.
It’s only genocide when Jews are being killed. /s
