If you honestly don’t see what’s antisemitic about bringing up the Israel/Palestine conflict randomly in a conversation about the Holocaust, you’re either lacking in education or simply hate Jews. I hope you are the former. Here’s a comparison for you.

In a post about the history of slavery in America, if someone comments about how gun violence is rampant in the black community with the obvious intention to push the narrative that black people are a danger, is that racist? I would say emphatically, yes. It’s a form of demonization and thus, racist bigotry.

That is what we see here in the comment I replied to.

Sure, I think many people can benefit from watching this documentary as it is produced very well from an information and entertainment standpoint, and shows sides of the Holocaust many people likely haven’t heard. However, bringing up Israel on a post about the Holocaust like this is most certainly not done with humanitarian intentions, and it just goes to show how much the pro-Palestinian movement is influenced by antisemitism.
