    Israel has previously denied harvesting organs from dead Palestinians without the consent of families, calling such accusations “antisemitic”.

    Ever notice how anytime someone accuses Israel of something, Israel says it’s antisemitic?

    Their accusations mean nothing, because at this point the Israeli government just reflexively says it.

      Blood libel is anti-Semitic.

      Just because you don’t understand these code phrases or dog whistles doesn’t mean anti-Semitism doesn’t exist.

        Then which act (or accusation thereof) is not antisemitic in that logic?

        Looting or stealing land? Totally the cliche of the grabby jew.

        Murder? Totally the well poison legend.

        If everything is antisemitic, nothing is. And I’m really baffled how many people (you obviously included) don’t see how that logic is extremely dangerous to the people they claim they want to protect.

        This specific case is most likely a hoax, but calling the allegations antisemitic, just on the basis of whatever bad excuse for a reason you presented here, is just as dangerous as just believing the hoax.
