So you aren't allowed to state an observation because some fucktards will take it the wrong way and spin it into anti-semitism?
Can we avoid, even jokingly, accommodating the Zionists by saying anti-Israel and antiisemitism are the same thing when they absolutely aren't?
Dr. Franke was not antisemitic and actual antisemitic stuff is happening in the U.S. that gets a lot less attention. Many don't know about this and many more probably dismissed it. A few even justified it as a protest against Israeli genocide despite many of the graves being of Jews who died before Israel even existed as a nation.

Zionists are helping to normalize that sort of thing by desensitizing people to the concept of antisemitism. The fact is that there are people, sometimes very dangerous people, who hate Jews because they are Jews and that should not be minimized any more than Israeli genocide should be minimized because they are both things that no one should tolerate.
This is definitely not helped by many of the most vocal anti-israelites also being antisemites (at least from my experiences irl, along with what I've heard from family).
One of the many reasons I keep that part of my identity hidden irl. It's a lot less bad on here, but still an issue.
