Extremely hot take if you’re asking mainstream media or congress. Ridiculously lukewarm take if you’re talking to the average citizen.

Generally no, but I think it can be if it’s done the wrong way. Protesting against a genocide? Obviously not antisemitic. Vandalizing random synagogues (as has happened in a number of places) would be antisemitic. And you could use antisemitic signs or something while protesting. So generally no but there are definitely real examples.

Like a few months back a major synagogue in Chile was vandalized with pro-Palestine and anti-Israel graffiti. Which that message is fine unless you’re vandalizing a random synagogue, which is just targeting Jewish people for Israel’s actions.

While you’re bringing up a very specific example pro Palestine protest & anti Israel/genocide rhetoric in general is generalized as antisemitic by our mainstream media & Congress. I’d say most protests are fine but I acknowledge most are 100% and some people are just antisemitic. As for synagogues a lot times people protest them because they are used to facilitate the selling of land in the West Bank. Although yeah if a synagogue isn’t doing that or hosting some Israeli extremist etc then yeah

It’s definitely antisemitic to protest it randomly.
