    This isn’t antisemitism.

    Antisemitism was when a kid stole the book I was reading in high school and drew a swastika on every single page with a sharpie.

    Antisemitism was when I told someone I didn’t celebrate Christmas and they said, “what are you, some kind of Scrooge?” And I said, “no, I’m a Jew.” And they said, “typical Jew.”

    Antisemitism is when I tell someone I’m a Jew and they berate me for supporting Israel when I don’t support Israel.

    That is antisemitism. And if it’s antisemitic to be against Israel, I guess I’m an antisemitic Jew.
