Except that’s not what I’m saying.

Two things can be true at the same time:

1. Not every criticism of Israel is antisemitism
2. Racists can express their antisemitism through criticism of Israel.

There is so much that one could criticize Israel over that I won’t even pretend to be able to list it all. But this government counterterrorism expert blaming Israel for “manufacturing” a conflict that his own government had the greater hand in creating is either stupid or disingenuous. Either way it shows where his heart lies.
