          The common factor of the invaders in gaza is zionism not judaism. Plenty of apocalypse now christians fighting to make the messiah come early.

          edit: and no doubt some supremely cynical atheists too

          Is calling the other side “bloodthirsty arabs” racist? Yes? Then what you’re doing is antisemitic.

          Jesus fucking christ, both racism and antisemitism are bad. What’s so hard about this? Why do people only ever have a problem if the other side is doing it?

            “jew” isnt a race. the comparable ism would be “bloodthirsty muslims.” if you’re going to criticise use the right words please, words have meanings.

              The racism is for the term “bloodthirsty arabs” where “arabs” are the victims of racism. I wrote antisemitism for the term “genocidal jews” where jews are the victims of antisemitism.

              I chose this “bloodthirsty arabs” over “bloodthirsty muslims” because that’s the term that I’ve heard being used by racists in the region. I wanted to use an actual term from the region to make my comparison more founded in reality.

              my wording is precise

              So is my wording. I purposefully said “the other side” so it can describe the opposite of what you meant. In this case the intersection of arabs, “bloodthirsty barbarians” and those that were present in israel.

              Again, both racism and antisemitism are bad. Just because “my” side is doing it doesn’t make it cool or okay. Only if we all break the cycle of hate will we be able to build a better world for our children.
