She joined pro-Palestinians just days after Oct. 7, posting a photo of herself holding a sign reading “Stand with Gaza” — alongside a toy octopus, which some read as an allusion to the Nazis’ antisemitic propaganda visualizing Judaism’s supposed network of control over the world.

Octopus is Khamas.

cringe you don't have to do that, just reject the dichotomy. Antisemitism is still a real thing it's not like anti-Italian bigotry or whatever, and we still have to be wary of letting antisemites use the left to carry their vile hatred, even when Palestinian genocide is such an enormous problem that it warps the importance of other problems.

I see it the same way as "terrorist." Terrorism is obviously not good, but when resistance is defined as terrorism, then anyone who resists imperialism is definitionally a terrorist.

Those might be comparable in the sense that if someone called me a terrorist, I'd sooner try to challenge the assumptions that led them to make the claim than the claim itself because I understand why they'd call me a terrorist (or an antisemite) but I believe those reasons are frivolous and easily dismissed. But I'd be much more careful trying to lean into being called an antisemite, when called a terrorist I might say "and I'd fly those planes into the towers again" but I would never say something similar when called an antisemite.
