If anything, it's antisemitic to claim that Israel has or should have a monopoly on Judaism. Vatican city has claimed to be the authority over Christianity and about half of Christians told it to fuck off. Well, they didn't say it like that, but the sentiment is similar. You get the idea.

I mean, it's antisemitic to genocide Arabs, what with Arabs being a semitic people.

The Pope claims to be the apostolic successor to Saint Peter, to whom primacy was supposedly conferred by Jesus.

You get into a bit of a True Scottsman dilemma arguing over it, but the general argument is that you're not sincerely a Christian if you're not respecting the final decrees of Christ, The Messiah.

Islam has a similar schism in arguing over who inherited the mandate confired upon Mohammed.

But the bloodshed resulting from these feuds are rooted in very earthly, secular, financialized concerns. The act of genocide is heresy, no matter how you slice it.

Yes, genocide is the primary concern.

You can make the same picture with Russia/Ukraine

And yet the people who this is directed at will see this and think it's 100% accurate because they, too, have a victim complex.

"USA verified the claims of Israel as accurate"

I feel like this needs some deduplication
