Malaysia’s government announced Wednesday that it was imposing a ban on all Israeli owned and flagged ships, as well as any vessels headed to Israel, from docking at its ports.
So the fact that we treat Israel differently than we treat Russia, which we treat differently than Italy, which we treat differently than Peru, is all antisemitism?
Btw: why would you treat Russia different to Italy? If Italy commits human rights violation to the same degree as Russia and Israel do, I would expect you to condemn Italy and Peru the same way.
There is a reason the BDS movement is banned in many states: it works. Good on Malaysia for doing this.
To be clear, Malaysia is a horror show when it comes to minority rights and only doing this because they hate Israel because they hate Jews. If Malaysia could look past their hatred of Jews they’d be able to see the commonalities they have with the Jewish-supremacist state of Israel.
Not all of your enemy’s enemies are your friends.
“They hate Israel because they hate Jews” is a strong accusation. Hating Jews usually doesn’t decide foreign policy.
But if you treat Israel different to other states in your foreign policy, thats antisemitic.

My point was we treat every country differently
