The conflation of being anti-Israeli government at the moment with being antisemitic is troubling to me. I would say that many Democrats and Americans are anti-Netanyahu but pro Israel being a country and anti-antisemitic. Simply put:

I support the nationhood of Israel and their right to defend that nation
I support the people of Palestine having their right to exist as a separate nation without fear of slaughter by any other nation
I DO NOT support Hamas or their despicable actions
I DO NOT support any despicable actions toward civilians by the IDF in retaliation
I DO NOT support Netanyahu in his leadership of Israel and his actions in the region
I reject any action against Jewish people around the globe as either a response to Netanyahu's actions or as general hatred toward Jews
I reject any action against Palestinians around the globe as either a response to Hamas or general hatred toward Islam
