You’re missing my point. I was doing the opposite. Like I said there are many good Jewish people against what the Israeli government is doing. I was stating that Israel is fueling these negative stereotypes & making them appear to be valid. Israel is the one saying they represent Jewish people. For example, one negative stereotype that has been considered antisemitic is that the Jews control the news. Who has the overwhelming percentage of our news & media defended, despite clear evidence of genocide? Or another is that Jews control the world… Who has a majority of our most powerful world leaders defended? Israel is reinforcing those stereotypes, thus fueling antisemitism. My point wasn’t that extremist Jews or even non-Jews claiming to be Jewish, represent all Jews, but the opposite.
I understand that Israel is the one attempting to conflate its genocidal campaign with the Jewish faith and bolster Jewish stereotypes, while many Jewish groups are speaking out against that and calling for peace. However, the last sentence of your earlier comment especially, was worded more like you were trying to give credence to those stereotypes instead of rejecting them.
