    Sigh. The first “they” is the Israeli government, the second is Jews in general. The first “they” refers to who is committing atrocities, the second is referring to who has been the victim of atrocities historically. It’s either bad faith or obtuse of you to try to interpret it any other way.

    I hate the people in the Israeli government who are committing genocide. They happen to be Jews, which means that you would think they’d try to be better based on the history of atrocities being committed against them.

        Look, this sentence only makes sense if both “theys” are the same group of people.

        I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt, against my better judgement.

        “The Israeli government has become the very genocidal monster that Jews were once the victims of.”

        What about this sentence doesn’t make sense to you? And why do you insist on seeing antisemitism in it?
