Explain to me how I have removed them from the context. You can go and read the dialogue trees for yourself. This is a knee jerk defense from you. Just tell me how I am wrong.
The Palestinian people being bombed to oblivion are quite clearly less 'powerful and wealthy'.
If the ADF was running a military occupation of Aboriginal communities, bombing them, and cutting off humanitarian aid, we'd say the same thing.
You chose to make it into an antisemitic trope though, which is exactly why Netanyahu always tries to make Israel and Jew mean the same thing, because it deflects from criticism of the actions of a powerful nation state against a marginalised group by saying 'oh you're just antisemitic'.
As I said, it's something I'd expect from ZEV or Zidane. You've shown you're more capable of critical thinking than those two though.
Arguably, the traditional home of antisemitism - the far right - are most supportive of the actions of Israel right now, which the left are the most critical.
