8. Are you saying the attack in London was not antisemitic

if so, I strongly disagree.

My point was that when an Islamic group or country does something, we immediately hear they do not represent all Muslims and we would condemn any Islamophobic actions.

However when Israel does something and Jews are attacked we hear such an attack is wrong (usually but not very loudly) but then the attack is immediately blamed on Israel's actions and it is said what did "they" expect.

Antisemitic attacks are not 'holding Israel accountable', it is attacking innocent, uninvolved people.

I have spoken against the actions in Gaza that I believed were excessive in the past so do not need to repeat them here. Also since the first day of the attack on Iran I have condemned the actions of the US and Israel. This war is completely unjustified.
