Gaza and collective responsibility

The speaker uses the war in Gaza to say anyone who supports Jews supports killing. Criticizing the Israeli government is fair, and many people, including many Jews, do. But blaming all Jewish people everywhere for a government's actions is antisemitism. The slide helps you keep those two questions separate.

The speaker may use footage of Israelis cheering strikes and accusations of genocide to claim anyone supporting Israel supports extermination and is backing 'Satan's synagogue.'

Some Israelis have cheered military action; the legality of Israel's conduct and the genocide allegation involve specific evidence and ongoing legal proceedings.

Criticizing Israeli government actions is legitimate. Collective blame against Jews—including Jews who oppose the war—is a different claim and does not follow from evidence about state conduct.
