(6,171 posts)All of these examples are possibly anti-Semitic and have the characteristics that should be noticed and investigated. However, just because something may be anti-Semitic, doesn't mean it is. As a comparison, all people who were shot and killed are possibly murdered. But it's not necessarily murder, because there are many instances where people are shot and killed without being murdered. However, every time someone gets shot and killed, it should be investigated.
I think you're too eager to jump to the conclusion that something must be anti-Semitism, when it's possible it isn't. For example, the accusation that Israel is targeting civilians is not slander, nor anti-Semitic - it's an accusation that would be leveled against any country that's killing civilians under similar circumstances. And I don't understand why it's anti-Semitic to criticize pinkwashing - no country should get away with doing things like that.
Your definition of what constitutes anti-Semitism is too inclusive.
