    This is on Netanyahu.

    He’s put a target on the collective back of the entire Jewish diaspora, just to save his own political skin.

      I agree with your statement (I am Jewish), but in this case, it doesn’t sound like antisemitism was involved. Just criticism of Israel, something that is not antisemitic, no matter how much Israel and its supporters claim it is.

        Well. It sounds more then criticism. Sounds like a use of violence to destroy the hotel and try to attack Israeli people (which do not represent the Israeli government) It’s not a question of antisemitic behavior. It’s just uneducated people taking out steam in the wrong place.
