    The bad thing about this is that it defends the indefensible and seeks to protect some of the worst atrocities of our time from criticism. It also cheapens the concept of antisemitism by turning it into a meaningless partisan expletive, thereby foreclosing on oure ability to point out the actual antisemitism that still exists in western culture.

    But the good thing is that it is laughably absurd. "If you get mad at me for murdering children when I am actually murdering children then you are a Nazi" is not a very convincing argument. It is deeply unserious, a joke. If this is the best they have, the zionist consent manufacturing machine is going to blow up once the tiniest crack appears in the shielding it is given by western media and political elites.
