    Though I see few anti-semitic remarks, other than the ones about Palestinians.

      In general, or in this thread?

      In general, anti-Palestinian racism is more common here in the West, yes.

      In this thread, there are multiple people, who are highly upvoted, who are making claims like “Genociding Israelis is okay if Israel committed genocide first” and “Their ancestors came from Europe, so even though they were born in the Levant, they aren’t REAL natives and it’s okay to deport them”, both of which are deeply antisemitic.

      You are misrepresenting the meaning of the term antisemitism. It’s a more polite and scientific sounding word for Jew hatred. That’s it’s only meaning, it has nothing to do with Palestinians. Look it up.

      Trying to soften and twist the meaning of antisemitism is antisemitic.
