PERIOD!

Do you blame China for the recent spate of Sinophobic attacks around the world, but especially in the US? Or do you correctly blame the perpetrators? So many whine anytime Israel is discussed, "but...but...but...you are conflating Jews with Israel." You are doing just that when you claim the actions of a foreign country are the reason for attacks against others outside said country because of ties to that country.

Anti-Semites are responsible for anti-Semitism, not Jews. As a Jew, I despise seeing people, including other Jews, blame Jews for anti-Semitism and providing an excuse for the actions of anti-Semites.
