Once again,
Islamophobia is not an antidote
to Antisemitism, and
It is fair to critique the actions, statements, and policies of political and military leaders.
It is deeply unethical to blame all members of a religion, ethnicity, race, nationality, or language group, for the actions of their political and military leaders, or to suggest that innocent civilians deserve to be harmed, or even eliminated from their homes without just compensation, due to the actions of their political or military leaders.
I sure wouldn't wish to be held accountable and harmed for the actions of some of the political leaders in my own country -- especially the leaders I didn't even vote for.
And honestly, I wouldn't even wish such harm to the people who did vote for the leaders in my own country whose actions, statements, and policies I abhor.
