    Us baby leftys start out seeing Nazis going after Jewish folks, making an incorrect assumption that "All Jews are Good" and "Israel is their safe space and should be defended." Also, the incredibly online folks who have watched people being cancelled/harrassed over supporting Palestine over Israel and coming away with the opinion that "welp, if that many people are bullying for that position, it must be the correct one."

      This is exactly what I've seen. They use the holocaust as a shield to deflect any criticism of the genocide they are waging against Palestine. Anything said against Israel is drowned out by a chorus of people yelling antisemitism.

      I've seen the "Israel deserves to exist because Jewish people need a safe Homeland just for them" upbeared on Hexbear dot net.

      this is the main thing I seem to see. It's also I think what makes the constant "antisemitism" accusations in response to criticism of the colonist Israel apartheid state so derailing, even when they're obviously fucking stupid.

        They go after Jewish people who have even the mildest critiques of Israel as if they're calling for harm to be done to Jewish people. So many people, especially academics and at some level, media people are legit afraid to voice their opinions on the matter, even so much as utter the word Palestine. That's pretty absurd in itself, but it seems to genuinely be working so :/
