Not So Useful Idiot: When Israel's Opposition Leader Calls Australian Jews 'Hamas Lackeys'
By branding Jews who voice legitimate criticism of Israel as 'useful idiots' who are supposedly trying to conceal their Jewish identity, Yair Lapid plays into antisemitic tropes that cast Jews as traitors and agitators

@caitoz
The claim that it's a hate crime to oppose Zionism because most Jews identify as Zionists is an ad populum fallacy. Just as the Atlantic slave trade would have been wrong even if every white person in the world supported it, a genocidal apartheid state which cannot exist without nonstop violence, theft and abuse would still be wrong even if every Jewish person on earth supported it. The claim that a majority of Jews support the existence of the modern state of Israel has no bearing whatsoever on the question of whether such a state should exist, and does not invalidate any arguments that it should not.
Israel supporters rely on lies, manipulations and fallacious arguments because their position is not based on truth or morality. If their position was right they would simply be making normal arguments like normal adults. They can't do this because they are wrong.
