You're assuming people will care about that either.

Within minutes you'll be hearing about the "secret anti-semitic DMs of hateful Greta" from the likes of the Daily Mail.

Oh, I have no doubt the Daily Mail wanted Thunberg dead long before she spoke out against Israel.

The part that bothers me is how many people ignore and are trying to iron clad state that antisemetism is anti Jewish. Semites include Arabs as a well. Basically if you are looking down/hating on a group for their beliefs or languages, you probably fall into antisemetism. Thus if their logic that anti Israel is antisemetic, then anti the people from Gaza would also be antisemetic. Attacking Iraq, or Afghanistan who's official religions are Islam - anti semetic. Attacking Spain, we can call it antisemetism because I believe Catholicism is the official religion, and you guessed it. Christians fall under Semitic usually, because Jesus happens to stem from the middle east..
