    Yea, that shits serious, and we need to deal with it… but can we stop painting criticism of Isreal and BDS as antisemitic? You can have legitimate concerns with Israeli foreign and internal policy without being antisemitic.

      That’s not the point of the article even if I myself think BDS is antisemitic

      https://www.ngo-monitor.org/key-issues/bds/bds-and-antisemitism

      https://www.ajc.org/news/bds-is-antisemitic

      It doesn’t call for 67-borders two state solution, it calls for destruction of the Israel

      But like I said, it’s not even the point of the article, and it’s just states the fact of how the Canada’s house of representatives voted, read the rest of article

        Here’s the problem. It isn’t antisemitic, it’s anti-Nethanyahu.

        I’m happy to debate the merits of BDS (personally, I think it’s extremely ineffective) but this article that rightfully calls out legitimate antisemitism shouldn’t even mention BDS.
