When "both-sides" folk try to demonstrate the notion of “what may be legitimate criticism of Israel being expressed in exaggerated and therefore antisemitic terms”, they point to things like calling Israel “evil” (as opposed to "in violation of international law” etc).

But literally taking away food from starving babies ⋅is⋅ evil, in absolutely every sense of the word. It's the kind of behaviour the word evil was invented for.

Now, as an Israel-apologist you can attempt to claim the episode didn't happen, or that it was an overzealous individual, not policy (you'd fail, because it ⋅did⋅ happen and because the individual in question was merely ⋅applying⋅ official policy, which bans the bulk import of baby formula by truck, to private baggage).

But to go with “Actually, taking food from starving babies in order to make their parents helplessly watch them die is NOT ‘evil’ when Israel does it — and it's antisemitic to claim it is!”... not only are you confirming that you consider Palestinians to be subhuman, but you are dehumanising ⋅yourself⋅, and everyone watching can see that you yourself, you really are evil too.
