Legit criticism of Israel vs. antisemitism: questions to ask yourself

What is antisemitism? | IHRA (holocaustremembrance.com) Let's start here. Does whatever you're saying, writing, or drawing go against the basic definition laid out here, or clearly fall into one of the examples given? If it does, you should almost certainly rethink your statement completely; even though this definition isn't legally binding, it's still a pretty darn good metric.

If you replace the word "Zionists/Israelis" in your statement with "Jews," does it sound antisemitic? If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck, even if it's wearing a dog costume. Your statement is antisemitic; please rethink it and probably also your general attitude.

Are you questioning Israel's right to exist? Sorry, antisemitic again, except maybe if you also question the rights of other religious and/or ethnic groups to their homelands. Jews have an archaeologically confirmed, continuous history in Israel going back 3000 years; they're not some random colonial upstarts. If you want to see former Soviet countries each stay independent and/or Tibet and Taiwan gain freedom from China, you don't get to turn around and claim that specifically Jews aren't allowed to have a homeland.

Are you implying that all Jews are responsible for things happening in Israel? If so, this is antisemitic. Diaspora Jews don't have much if any influence over Israeli politics, and plenty of them disagree with various Israeli policies and politicians. The word "Jews" simply refers to an ethnoreligious group with tons of variation in beliefs and practices, not some kind of powerful monolith. If you don't blame Chinese immigrants for the genocide of Uyghurs or all Muslims for Islamist terrorism, you don't get to blame all Jews for whatever's going on in Israel.

Do you view all Israelis as legitimate military targets for rockets & attacks? Even if you're going with the theory that they're all culpable because they all served in the military, you're still way off base. 1) They don't actually all serve in the army, and 2) by that logic, all veterans in your country are legitimate targets for nationalistic attacks. I'm pretty sure you don't think that. Also, you're forgetting about children and foreign workers; there are few if any places on Earth where those would be considered legitimate military targets. Rockets, bombs, and bullets don't discriminate in who they hit. There have even been cases, including in the current war, where they've harmed Israeli Arabs!

Do you have double standards? If your response to a resistance group, underdog or not, attacking civilians in another country is "that's bad" but your response to Palestinians attacking Israeli civilians is "it's complicated," or worse, "they deserve it," then you need to take a step back and ponder why you think that. It's once again antisemitic. If you believe that all resistance including harming civilians is valid in every region, no exceptions, then that would at least be consistent and therefore not antisemitic. If you think that Israel should just absorb the rocket fire and recent butchery without fighting back, would you say the same for your own country if it had a small neighbor shooting missiles at its major cities, especially if members of a leading faction in that country crossed the border and slaughtered your fellow citizens? If you don't think your country or other countries should just take it, anti-missile defenses or no, then you shouldn't expect it of Israel. Still antisemitic.

Are you viewing Israelis as a monolith? Israelis' views run the gamut on almost every issue you can think of. Just like there are differences of opinion regarding political, religious, and general societal issues in your home country, there are such differences in Israel. Heck, depending on your home country, Israelis' range of beliefs might even be broader than what you're used to! Unless you're affectionately joking about Israeli culture in the same way that you'd joke about American or British or whatever other country's cultural stereotypes, tarring all Israelis with the same brush is not a good idea. Taking a mean, "these people all believe/do objectively awful things" tone is downright antisemitic.

Are you confusing Israel's general population with its government? This should go without saying, but a government policy will never reflect the approval of all or even necessarily the majority of its citizens. There were ongoing mass protests for the better part of a year over the current coalition's controversial "judicial reform!" Just because you don't like something a particular group of politicians has decided doesn't mean that all Israelis agree with that thing and are therefore Bad.  If you wouldn't blame all of your government's unfortunate policies on your country's population as a whole, you don't get to blame all of Israel's. Also, please bear in mind that Israelis vote for parties not people, and then each party's leadership assigns members to the Knesset as it sees fit based on the number of seats it won. A voter can like a party in general, but then be horrified at what some of its members unexpectedly say or do later down the line.

Are you criticizing a specific Israeli government policy or action? If you're doing so without falling into "all Israelis are evil" canards or conspiracy theories, then criticize it all you want! That's the whole point of what you should be doing if you object to something! Feel free to put Israel on blast about how it shouldn't destroy terrorists' homes, or needs to make a nondenominational egalitarian prayer area at the Western Wall, or should handle ultra-Orthodox Jews differently, or needs to let humanitarian aid into Gaza, or whatever it is that's bugging you. Feel free to scream about a specific military incident, or warn Israel against repeating the mistakes of 9/11. If you'd say it about a similar thing your country did or is doing, it's probably fair game to say about Israel.

Are you criticizing a specific Israeli politician? Again, this is totally fair! Feel free to post about how a politician is corrupt and horrible and really needs to leave politics and hopefully face legal consequences. Feel free to express skepticism that a politician will do what they say they will, or that they actually have anyone's best interest in mind besides their own, or that they even have a decent idea of how to do their job. If you'd say it about your own country's politicians and it's not a conspiracy theory about them, the criticism is fine to lodge about Israeli politicians.

Are you criticizing a specific aspect of Israeli politics? You're welcome to say that Israel's current Knesset makeup is messed up, or that the ruling coalition has serious viability issues, or even that something about the whole Israeli political system is deeply flawed. Again, if you'd criticize your own country's equivalent without going into wild conspiracy theories, it's fair game to criticize Israel for it. However, I will point out that it's generally a good idea to know more about a country's political system than an average current events article tells you before you criticize it.

Internet Safety: A Guide for Everyone Who Uses the Internet and Social Media Platforms

It's important to exercise caution and keep a close eye on your every move when using the internet and social media, especially when interacting with strangers or on unfamiliar websites or with users you don't know well. We must exercise caution and safety online because the likelihood that someone's personal information will be compromised increases every time someone uses the internet. There are several things we can do to not put our information at risk when in the internet.

First is to create accounts with strong passwords and regularly update them. Your passwords must be at least ten characters long and include both upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, commas, percent signs, and other special characters. Hackers will find it challenging to access your account if your password contains these characters.

Second, keep your personal information private in social media platforms. You can do this by adjusting your privacy settings, make your selections to restrict and limit who can see your personal information. By doing this, one can prevent hackers from accessing their personal information, bank accounts, credit reports, and other assets. Not only that, but this could also prevent identity theft.

Third is to connect only to private internet connections. Avoid using free Wi-Fi in public places such as malls, coffee shops, and airports. Information profiling may be required in order to connect to these public internets, which could open the door for others to access your personal data.

Fourth, be careful when clicking links. Links are frequently used in phishing attacks to get personal information. Links can take you to a website that is waiting to infect your device with a virus. Additionally, refrain from clicking on ads because most of them can be disguised as malvertisements - that is, ads that have been contaminated with malware.

Install anti-virus programs. Anti-virus programs can shield your computers from harmful viruses like malware and spyware. Additionally, it is crucial to keep your anti-virus software up to date because thousands of new viruses are being discovered every day, along with their fellow variants.

Be selective when accepting friend requests. Accepting friend requests from strangers increases the chance that scammers or hackers will examine your profile and steal your personal data.

Be careful when sharing information online. Information that is private and sensitive should not be posted online or on social media. People might use this information against you in an effort to harass or take advantage of you, which could have a negative impact on both your personal and professional lives.

Lastly, think before you click! This sentence sends a strong message about online safety. Posting something without thinking first could give the people an opportunity to copy, alter, or display in a different context the information you post without your consent. The moment you have uploaded something to the internet is also the moment you have lost control of it.

As a student I can promote social, ethical, and legal responsibilities in the use of technology by Always act toward others as you would like to be treated whenever you find yourself online. Remember that you are talking with actual people when you use forums, comment sections, and social media. Show respect by speaking politely and as you would in person. Everyone involved suffers when someone is insulted, bullied, or engaged in an argument, and these negative behaviors can have real-world repercussions.

I'm glad that no matter how hard life gets, I've never allowed my morbid curiosity to manifest as glorification and glamorization of someones tragedy.
