Criticizing Israel

People will complain. "Say anything negative about Israel, and you're labeled antisemitic."

These people are right.

At the same time, they are also wrong.

It really depends on who is responding to their criticism.

If a right-wing Zionist is responding to the criticism, the critic will very likely be called antisemitic.

If a centrist or progressive Zionist is responding, it will depend on the criticism.  

And it will depend on the mood.

It will depend on the day.  

I'm hypersensitive about criticism of Israel; though I understand some criticism has merit.  

The other thing is. The same group/groups that accuse Jews of weaponizing antisemitism are probably the same groups who weaponize Islamaphobia.  

And vice-versa.

Maybe what we all need to do is learn to distinguish between deserved-criticism that hurts are feelings...because we're hypersensitive.  Vs. criticism that is dishonest, manipulative, involves double standards, etc.
