    No, but I can see why people would be jumpy when you repost a fascist pointing out the jewishness of someone (using Israel as a synonym) and then as the title (accidentaly) use a phrase that became a meme commonly associated with pointing out the jewish heritage of a powerful figure. Fedditors going straight for the accusations is of course you know… but it would have made me 🤨 as well if I hadn’t seen your posts before and noticed the X users handle.

      Nothing in the post points to the person pointing out the “jewishness”. The only thing pointed out in it is the birth place of the person

      The phrase also isn’t associated with pointing out Jewish figures. It can be associated with discrimination, In this case the title is actually discriminating. Against Israelis for always pushing spyware. Which has nothing to do with “antisemitism”.

      The only way the “antisemitism” angle works is by going “Israel = Jews = antisemitism”.

      It really all feels like Feddit.org users going “whoaaa did you consider the Israelis are jewish?! Therefore you can’t criticize them!” To which I recommend reading https://ofpatmos.substack.com/p/fight-jewish-exceptionalism
