    I don’t think any action against the IDF or Israel is Antisemitic in any way, shape, or form.

    I also see “death to the IDF” as a statement advocating the death of the entire adult population of Israel, and we have a word for that which rhymes with engocide.

      How does “death to the IDF” mean death to the entire adult population? Regardless of mandatory service in the past, they aren’t in the IDF now, and they aren’t the ones “just following orders.” I also don’t think Bob Vylan is actually suggesting that every person in the IDF be killed, regardless of complicity, but calling for the downfall of the organization perpetuating genocide.

      “Death to ICE” doesn’t mean the same thing as “kill all ICE agents.”

        So you’re making the additional distinction of only people who currently actively serve in the IDF and not any previous members?

        Lets just do this: kill or put on trial netanyahu and any active combatants.

        Just as important, establish a new rule of law in the region which will respect the value of human life and fairly dispute land claims.
