I seldom comment on #middleeast #politics (as I have erstwhile colleagues who work on the subject & I wselkl appreciate how little I know)....
However, it is clear to me that while Liberal commentators often claim that they do not want to confuse or conflate criticisms of Israel with #antisemitism, any criticism of Israel state actions seems to be immediately treated as antisemitism.
However, this has been an issue as long as I can recall & seems likely to continue to be so!
