[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1055770, member: 72205"] I suspect that's where it starts but becomes way more deep rooted than simple opposition to Israel's handling of Gaza and the West Bank. We seam regularly dismiss antisemitism as anti-zionism (best advice I've heard with the state of Israel is to be specific on what your against rather than sweeping statements). Here's a very deep dive into this countries issues within Labour, its written by a British Jew [URL unfurl="true"]https://medium.com/@sararoseofficial/everything-i-never-wanted-to-have-to-know-about-labour-and-antisemitism-649b5bc1e576[/URL] But yeah I just want to understand how a group who pertains and usually sides well with "socially-libereral" viewpoints when it comes to things LGBTQ+ rights and the aforementioned plight of the Palestinian people end up going down such a deep rabbit hole or is dismissive of there actually being an issue. I know part of it is their viewpoint of Israel as the baddies (with justification) but how that ends up being all Jewish people is just baffling. For example what you said about Jewish people that's not an uncommon thing in many ethnic groups (strong attachment to origin countries even generations later) so why do antisemities not worry about other groups? I know I'm asking for rationalisation of racism which is hard within itself but its trying to understand why a group who usually is forward looking in so many other regards does seam to have this one blindspot.
