Antisemitic content has been surging on Chinese social media since the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel. CNN’s Will Ripley shares why that might be happening on purpose.
The anti-zionists I know are not antisemitic, and I have not seen them be antisemitic.
Sometimes I see people say a statement is antisemetic, such as “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will be Free,” or something else with a similar meaning. That is not an antisemetic statement. It is against the state, not against the people, nor is it against the religion or ethnicity, and the two are not equal. Any attempt to equate the two is an attempt to silence people who are against the actions of the state, which is usually what I end up seeing.
Sure, you can say something that is both, but I almost never see people do this.

but I almost never see people do this.
Then you should learn to appreciate the fact you don’t live in the middle of the deep south and the culture that surrounds you is a lot more sane and reasonable than a good chunk of the nation actually is.
For example, the ‘Jewish space laser’ conspiracy theory is BOTH antisemitic and anti-zionist.
