   The only way being anti-genocide would imply antisemitism would be if all semites were genocidal. Thankfully, this is not the case, however much Israel would like it to be, and however much that desire, in itself, is antisemitic.

     In other words, by equating being anti-genocide with being anti-Jew, Israel is, in effect, stating that all Jews are genocidal, which is about the most antisemitic thing you can imply. So, in summary, Israel is antisemitic.

     @aral no one likes a bully, especially the Irish, so they're just speaking out against one.

     Hopefully they'll speak out against #bigtech bullies that they allowed in to their country.

     @patrickleavy Don’t hold your breath for the latter. They seem too busy singing them praises and protecting them from regulation to have time for that anytime soon.
