#it's the exact same stupid bigoted logic of 'oh well this one group of Them did Bad Things so all of them are bad'

A little reminder
Supporting Palestine isn't an excuse for antisemitism. Being awful towards Jewish people won't help Palestinians. Jewish people ≠ Zionists. Jewish people are still a marginalized group with a history of being oppressed and, just like Palestinians are dealing with now by Israel, having entire groups of people wanting to eradicate their existence. Contributing to that hatred and stigma will not do anything helpful. It is totally possible to criticize and hate on the government of Israel without dragging innocent Jewish people into your hatred. Many Jewish people have nothing to do with what Israel is doing and do not agree with it either. And even with the ones who do- them being Jewish should not be the target. Because them being Jewish is not the problem, being Jewish did not make them support the genocide of Palestinians even when they try to say that's why they support Israel. They chose that, and their choice to support and/or help Israel is the problem. And there are plenty of non-Jewish people who are also helping and supporting Israel.
Point is, fellow pro-Palestine folks: be fucking normal about Jewish people. The actions of one group never justify bigotry towards an entire minority. Supporting Palestine is not a shield freeing you from the ability to be antisemetic.
