  • Yes. It should not be brought up at all. There are plenty of other ways to respond to this action.

    As an example in a similar situation, I’m hoping you wouldn’t say of a similarly protesting Palestinian group that you guess they’re all terrorists. Even in sarcasm.

    It’s not productive. It doesn’t convince any actual person who would say that in earnest that they’re wrong. What they’ll do, if anything, is say “yes, but seriously.”

    On top of that, Israel wants people to think Jew = Israeli. Just putting that grain of thought in people’s heads can result in bad things over time.

    So there are better responses. Even if you want to express this specific sentiment in a sardonic way. “Watch Israel call this antisemitism” would be one way to go.

    I hope that makes sense.
