Anti-semitism is evil and should be eradicated. So is Islamophobia. Both of these are out in full force and neither is justified no matter how you feel about Israel and Palestine. It doesn’t help that you have politicians feeding into these.

I’m strongly opposed to Zionism in its present form, but doesn’t mean anyone can cross the line into anti-Semitism. Also, criticizing Zionism is NOT anti-semitism no matter how often the far right tries to claim otherwise.

I agree wholeheartedly but as an exmuslim would like to state nothing wrong with islamaphobia. Fear and distrust of religion is sensible and necessary for free thought. Muslimphobia which is discrimination against people identifying with the Islamic faith is not ok.
