Yes.
No
Maybe.
I see that several mega companies including Apple, IBM and Disney have halted advertising on Elon Musk's X after he endorsed an "anti-Semitic" post.
Old Walt Disney would be so proud !
BTW I haven't seen the post so that's why I put anti-Semitic in inverted commas. Wouldn't want anyone thinking I'm anti-Semitic.
Although it would now appear that any condemnation of the Israeli administration is deemed anti-Semitic so by that reckoning I am.
Are we there yet ?

It suits the narrative to conflate a pro-Palestine opinion with one being anti-Semite . Which are Not the same !
And :
I think a lot of people cannot distinguish between anti-Israel / anti-Zionism and anti-Semite .
One holding an anti-Israel or anti-Zionist view is not necessarily an anti-Semite - though Can be .
I for one have absolutely no care if someone is Jewish or not — not an issue : how could it be !? :
I wouldn’t even know if a person is or not :: we don’t go around asking people their origins ?
My bestie is Jewish , I’m part of her family : Ma , Fred , herself . Countless holidays celebrated
together and I have nothing but the highest respect for their faith - just as I would have for
any other Good person - may they be Christian , Muslim , Buddhist , Sikh , Hindu ..
May a person be white or black , brown , purple or polka dot .
But I - for example - am appalled at what Israel is doing , what the World Allows Israel to do ;
I am appalled at the decades-long oppression and occupation . I am Fully anti-Israel policy .
Against the Zionist aim of grabbing All of the land ; of pushing people off their ancestral land
at Any cost ; the constant terror that Israel holds the Palestinian people in ; against the repeated
and continuous terror acts that Israel commits with impunity .
It’s so sad / too bad that people are not sophisticated enough to differentiate between antisemitism
and anti-Zionism :: the two aren’t the same But oh it serves so well to conflate .
I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.
