Who called for Israelites to be displaced? It's nowhere in the OP.
Who called for the destruction of Israel? It's nowhere in the OP.
The OP is stating a fact, Israel is doing things in Gaza that other States wouldn't be allowed to do to their neighbor without repercussions from first world countries. Stating that and saying that Israel needs to stop isn't racism.
It's actually not
Do you realise that such a broad definition only is saying that Israel can't be considered Nazi no matter what they do?
If you're committing a genocide it's only fair that people compare you with other people who commited genocide. Like the nazis.
And of course it hurts. Because Israel hates to be reminded that they are becoming the kind of people that 80 years ago tried to exterminate them.
Stop doing nazi things if you don't want to be called a nazi. It's as simple as that.
OP had to pull their definition from a page that didn't exist until after the October 7th attack in order to find a source that calls comparing State policies to another State's policies racism.
Will you look at that, it's criticized for not making a distinction between antisemitism and criticism of Israel, you know, because criticizing a country doesn't mean hating its citizen or people ethnically related to them.

If hating the State of Israel makes you racist it means that you think Israel represents all Jews, if Israel represents all Jews then all Jews are racists because Israel hates most of its neighbor States and, as you said, hating a State is racist. You love Israel and you love Jews therefore you love racists therefore you can go fuck yourself.
Nah man, I'm applying the same logic you are, you support a racist State that represents millions of racist people, go fuck yourself.
