This is a twisted way of gaslighting us, I'm afraid. The minute we call out antisemitism we are told we are playing the victim, and when we then point out the problem of Islamist extremism, we are called Islamophobes, as if calling out one prejudice is valid while the other is not. It's how Iran-backed Islamist terror has been taught to operate, to use the left and the leftist concepts of equality to twist the narrative. Norman Finkelstein has only exacerbated this with his love of belittling Jews' ancestral trauma by calling it "crocodile tears", but that trauma is real, and the way to deal with trauma is not to bury it and hide it but to be realistic and face it. Both the Jews and the Palestinians are suffering from this and the world is only exacerbating the problem with this stupid, ugly narrative of hate directed towards Israel.

I don't know if you ever listen to Yasmine Mohammed, but this podcast is worth a listen: https://youtu.be/gj9vr3FTWEY?si=biIGyIIivGXbByKt
